Does anyone have any input as to the best firewalled routers or switches. I'm looking for something that can work on a network of 10 to 20 pc's with out needing to be reset all the time. I have a wireless internet access point and a mix of os's from nt to xp and all inbetween. Only two servers and many workstations. Thanks in advance for any helpful input.

More info required - what you expect out of it or what capabilities do you need it to perform?

Are you talking about a $20 device or a $2000 device?
 
Best for what? Best for price? Get a cheapo Linksys or Netgear Cable/DSL router and hang multiple switches on it. Best for throughput? Best for security? Best for manageability? Best QoS features?

There is no such thing as one best.
