Advanced Router - Power networking

Advanced Router - Power networking

I'm considering upgrading my current DD-WRT micro equipped router to something more powerful. I am interested in a router than handle atleast double the amount of connections my router can currently (4096) to better handle BitTorrent traffic when it's maxing out my connection bandwidth (16mbps/2mbps). On top of that I would want to create a gigabit lan for streaming 1080P video throughout my home.

"Perhaps look into pfSense, m0n0wall, Smoothwall or Untangle - they are small router operating-systems, that run on regular (old/slow) PC hardware.

Any of these will handle a lot of connections, and can do pretty much anything you could wish from such a system (multi-connections with failover, QoS, intrusion detection, host/connection to VPNs etc etc)"

I agree with your answer, and would also like to add to your list:
