Ok everyone, you all know that I have posted looking for a hardware
device with content filtering for usenet and so on. It turns out my
Belkin 802.11G has a known issue with port blocking. It freezes totally.
So I can't port block with it. So, what do you all recomend for a cheap
home based broadband router that has content filtering to block ports
and web site filtering with a list of categories to choose from to block
content. Hopefully it will have keyword filtering too so we could enter
in keywords. The Belkin I use has this parental control provided by
cerberian and it's very good web site filtering.

I know of the Linksys with speedbooster technology which is their
802.11g, but I do not like their way of doing parental control. I bought
this router and took it back the next day. There are problems with the
log in and log out feature.

One more thing I want is the router to monitor bandwidth so it will tell
you how much you use. Like ok, for this week day or month we have
downloaded so much data, say 50gb or whatever. it would be nice to have
user accounts and quota control, but not necessary. the bandwidth
feature is not necessary, but something i would love if it would tell me
how much the wan port downloaded and so on.

I know that dlink and netgear do not have this sort of parental control
web site content filtering. at least i don't know of anything. i also
know Zyxel Zywall routers do that. I myself owned a Zywall 2x, but had
to send it back because it had a problem with something and they could
not fix it for me. I also tried a snapgear I think and sent it back to
them because of some issues with it. SG300 or something was the model,
300 was the model, but forget if it is SG, but I think it was.

So does anyone have any suggestions please? I'm alot more easy on this
one because I now know usenet filtering isn't going to work for me, so
I'm totally open to what anyone will suggest.
