is anyone had any idea which router at this time is the best router u think for server use? what i need is something like always on that can resist heat issue, stable, reliable, had greate port forwording functions and do not block/drop any port(like the westell 327w i am using) and had complete control of the ports and many customizable feature allow to monitor the network like inbound and outbound log and it needs to be as fast as possible etc. the security feature is best to have good security, but it doesn't need to be extremely secure, incase that'll increase a lot of cost. And the price must be consumable, cause i am not using it for some big corp. the server is just a personal site, and therefore, i need to cut the cost i think arount 30-60 USD it doesn't have to be wireless, but it doesn't matter for that feature, since the more feature the better for my situation so any help well be appreciated, thx in advence!

I found this page with the top 9 broadband router, take a look

There are alot of different opinion on which one is better for the price so doing a google search could help also. IMO if i wanted security I would go with Cisco but their router are expensive but worth it.
