[ale] So, who do we like for a new 4 port gigabit LAN/WAN Firewall Routers these days?

100% in agreement with Ray....  I would avoid D-Link and Netgear firewalls
at ALL costs. They have horrible update records. Ubiquity has a very active
forum and as Ray mentioned, Ubiquity updates they hardware very frequently.
