What broadband routers support mac filtering other than Linksys ?

I think I need to replace my befw11s4 and I'd like to go with another
manufacturer.

I need the 4 ports and wirless and it MUST support VPN (about a year ago, that
was asking a lot from many manufacturers). MAC filtering is a strong
requirement, but I may do without if the price is right.

I also don't want to waste my time with G as it's just not worth it. I'll go A
if and when I dump B.

What level of support of VPN do you require and what flavor?

Based on my experience, your BEFW11S4 is perfectly capable and willing to
connect a PPTP client on the LAN side to a PPTP server on the WAN side, and,
if you set up forwarding of port 1723, I'm pretty sure that it will connect
a PPTP client coming in from the WAN side to a PPTP server on the LAN side.

On the BEFW11S4 Advanced/Filters configuration there are both PPTP and IPsec
passthrough options, so I assume that it will do a similar thing for IPsec
at least in one direction or the other.

If you want the router itself to be the VPN endpoint, you're right --- the
BEFW11S4 is not up to the task.

Draytek do wireless routers with all these features, including support
for VPN as a server as well as pass-through. The 2600W is the
802.11b/4-port model
