Hi,
I currently have a Zyxel Zywall USG20 which no longer can cope with the internet speed from my ISP (it maxes out at approx 120 mbps, but I have 250 mbps from my ISP).
On the Zyxel i use a DMZ to host several devices (servers, cameras), but only one server is accessible directly from the internet, and only a few services are allowed through the firewall to the DMZ. I only have one public IP which is not static.
As I don't use any of the advanced functions that require subscription on the Zyxel, I though I could get by with using a Linksys LRT214. However, when setting up the DMZ, I cannot find any way of mapping the single dynamic IP to one specific server in the DMZ. I have read the manual, but I might be missing something.
1) Is it possible to map the public dynamic IP to a specific server in the DMZ on the LRT214?
2) If such mapping is not possible, do you have any advice on a router/firewall that can do this and handle at least 500 mbps throughput (ideally 1 gbps). I know that the Zyxel USG110 will do this, but it is rather expensive (5800 NOK, compared to 1400 NOK for the LRT214).
I have considered pfsense, but that seems overkill for my use and getting fast enough hardware to handle 1gbps will make it quite expensive as well.
Kind regards
