    I'm trying to make a decision for my organization as to what kind of firewall/internet security solution to use. We're setting up a computer lab with 10 new machines.

    The two options that I'm looking at are Symantec Endpoint Protection and the ZyXEL ZyWALL 2WG 3G Mobile Router and Firewall. I've looked into the pros and cons of each, but not being a network security expert, I've had a lot of trouble weighing the pros and cons of each.

    I was wondering if anyone can advise me on what product to choose and why.

    Oops, I should have explained myself better.

    If I go with Symantec's endpoint protection, I would use a basic router/firewall, something like this.

    However, if I used the ZyXEL, I would get Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2009.

    Basically, the comparison comes down to which one is the better fire wall solution.

    I have used the ZyXel firewall that you have mentioned. Easy to install for someone that understands firewalls and reasonably priced. Should work very well for a 10 system network.
