Hello
I used to protected my lan with a Zywall 5 (SOHO) which is located between the router and the switch; recently I updated my connection to a 100 Mb line and that's when I experienced problems.
So problem is I read on the speed test an 80 Mbits connection before the Zywall and some 37 Mbits on the same speed test after the Zywall 5.
I googled the problem and found out that it could depend on the bandwidth of the Zywall 5 hence I suppose the only solution to remove the bottleneck is to replace it.
My question now is, since I plan to switch to a 1 Gbit fiber connection as soon as it will be available (hope in the near future), which zywall product will be the right one without wasting a lot of money on a too "big" unit but avoiding the need to replace it again when switching to the fiber connection?
Thanks a lot in advance for your advice

For 1Gb the ZyWALL VPN100 for TCP should hit the mark

Hello
problem is I'm not that skilled on the topic since I'm a doctor, not an IT Pro.
So that's why I asked here for an advice.
I would like to avoid to buy a device that will not fit my needs in the next future (i.e. 1G fiber connection) nor a device which is too much for me (hence wasting money).
I saw the comparison tables but not skilled enough to grasp fine differences...
Even the difference between ATP and USG is not that clear to me...
I use the device mostly to protect my LAN, but would like to get the full speed connection after the firewall (i.e. avoid bottlenecks).
VPN features would be nice/better since that would allow me to connect to another house/LAN I have. But again, this is not the main issue...
Thanks for your help

Hi @ssgroi,
If you need UTM features (Sandboxing, Web Security, Application Security, Malware Blocker, Intrusion Prevention, Reputation Filter), ATP100 is recommended.
If you need firewall and VPN features only, VPN100 is recommended.
