Which router for small/medium business?

[shopper150]

I'm looking for a router for a small/medium business. Apple Airport Extreme seems to have good reviews and supports upto 50 wireless devices.

Does anyone have any comments on the above choice?

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for a router that has a 3G fallback option?

Many thanks

Budget?

I'd personally run something a little more rock solid than an airport extreme.

Cisco SOHO would be idea for a small business along with a AP for wireless.

If you're actually going to have anywhere near 50 simultaneous wireless users, I wouldn't go for an Airport Extreme, they will choke and die on the interference. It's consumer grade tat and will fail miserably outside a home environment with a handful of users.

I've been playing with some of the Ruckus kit at work, it's very nice.

Router wise a Cisco (real Cisco, not Linksys Cisco) SOHO will do well. A Draytek or Billion 7800 will also do nicely and will be pretty easy to set up with the 3G fallback you wanted.

The AAEB is a good solution for the home (I have one) but if you need to connect 50 wireless clients then I would look at one of the options listed above.
