Cable Forum - View Single Post - Dual WAN router

Does such a thing exist, is it affordable, and does anyone use one?

I'm looking to provide some automated redundancy for our office.

We have an ADSL (BT type) broadband. We are going to add a Virgin Media cable broadband. The idea being that if the BT phone line dies, Virgin Medias service runs through different infrastructure so theoretically should still be there, or vice-versa.

So the next stage is to merge the two different incoming broadband services at the office network so it can use either. I believe in a normal state this would be load balancing whilst providing the connection redundancy.

I've seen references to the linksys RV042 routers but they only have 10/100 LAN ports. Anyone seen anything with 10/100/1000 LAN ports in addition to the dual WAN capability?
