Recommended router and VPN

New to Netgear. Is there a plan to launch a rack-mounted router, and if so, what are the expected release date and if known, key specs?

 

In the meantime, what (a) rack-mounted router and (b) VPN are recommended for use in a small business with very simple networking requirements and the following planned devices:

 

• 2 x stacked M4300-52G-PoE+'s

• 3 x Netgear's forthcoming WiFI 6 WAPs

• 1 x ReadyNAS RR4312X2

• 3 x VLANs

• ~20 x Mac client computers

 

Main desiderata for the router and VPN are:

 

• ease of installation/setup

• ease of maintenance

• reliability

• speed

 

Thanks.

Kindly check the NETGEAR Insight Instant VPN Router which is the BR500 and it is currently available in the market.  You can install it in a standard 19-inch (48.26-centimeter) network equipment rack.  Also, you can use any off-the-shelf 100 mm VESA standard mount to secure the router to a wall, a pole, or another surface.  

 

With the BR500, you can configure Site-to-Site VPN using the NETGEAR Insight VPN up to 3 BR500.  Also, you can configure Client-to-Site VPN using the NETGEAR Insight VPN wherein up to 10 VPN Client users can remotely connect to the BR500.  

 

For more information about the specifications of the BR500, kindly access its data sheet here.  Check also the BR500 webinar here

Thanks so much. If we forgo the VPN, what rack-mounted Netgear router would be recommended for this setup?
