Devices with static IP's
Hi everyone,
We have two industrial PLC's (PLC = these boxes in CNC maschines and the like) with static IP addresses which must communicate with a virtual maschine where the database is located.

Nothing wrong with the home router approach, isn't it? Except that it might have some (forced) NAT on.
Any Netgear L2+ or L3 switch (mandatory feature: IPv4 routing) from the Smart Managed Pro or Managed switch class configured with two VLANs and a proper routing config for the two subnets will do the job. To my knowledge, Netgear does not offer "generic" routers.
At the end of the day it depends on exactly your lab has match the customer environment.
PS: Well, consider a heavy iron (not consumer or SMB) router it will be some 5000 bucks plus 15% maintenance and support p.a., there can't be anything wrong, and nobody was fired because of buying C***** 8-)
