I recently bought the AG041 adsl gateway with 4 port switch. The main reasin I got it was cause I recently got broadband and wanted a hardware firewall.

Then I found out about the BEFDSR41W. I'm a novice when it comes to these things but it seems to offer more protection i.e. it includes SPI fiirewall and prevents denial of serice attacks. I'm not sure whether the AG041 offers this, anyone out there know? Does the BEFDSR41W have a better firewall?

Also I can seem to find any firware for the AG041, whereas I could BEFDSR41W does, should I be worried?
