[Cu-wireless] Need advice in selecting a wireless gateway

[David Young]

You will not find any inexpensive device with IPSec or VPN.

What do you mean by MAC address spoofing?

I am surprised if at least one of the three devices you mention does
not meet all the other criteria, except for the detachable antennas.

BTW, many retailers will not advertise that a device's antennas
detach. Even some manufacturers will not mention it.
