      Patching is the really big ticket item. Keeping things patched is huge and so often overlooked.

        And training your users, I didn't see that mentioned. That might be the biggest thing.

            And beatings, user beatings are often necessary as well.

              Firewalls to avoid....

              My rule here is that there are just a few vendors that you actually want to consider, and on the SMB end of things, there is little reason to ever consider anything but Ubiquiti.

              Once you get larger than Ubiquiti can handle, then you can look at Juniper, Cisco, and a few others. But you are talking $15K+ routers here or special HA functionality, which might be cheaper routers, but will be $10K+ in total.

              I was able to get an HA pair of Junipers (new) for about $5k. I didn't go into it looking for HA, but when I found out I could get them for a third what I'd budgeted I decided to go for it.

                Wow, what models? Was it a sale or is that the normal price?

                    Normal reseller pricing. It was an SRX340. It is rated up to 3 Gbps.
