Home network traffic monitoring.

[Moley]

So I currently have a Virgin Superhub providing wireless for downstairs and a couple of powerline adapters providing me with ethernet to my office upstairs.

I have a small 8 port TPLink gigabit switch upstairs of of which I hang my PC, Laptop and Server.

Can anyone recommend either a router that has a built in switch with port mirroring capabilities or an inexpensive replacement for my TPLink switch that can do port mirroring? If any router recommended could run as an OpenVPN endpoint too that would be the nuts.

FYI: I've recently joined a Breach Detection company and I work from home and will be running an Anti-Malware test facility on my network - hence wanting to monitor the traffic.

Cheers for any suggestions!

Best option would be a cheap switch that support port mirroring, e.g. NetgearGS105Ev2. You will still need another router that supports OpenVPN though.

Believe the Drayteks can do this, pretty sure I remember the setting on mine.
