Looking for a router/firewall model with the following specifications:

Dual WAN (Failover mode)
SPI Firewall
Support for at least 100mbps of throughput
Support for more than 256hosts on the LAN

Most routers I am finding, only support a subnet mask of (255 hosts) on the LAN.

VPN not important. Unified thread management (AntiVirus, Spyware, Etc) not important.

If you are not on a short term budget and you are looking for a device with more investment protection that will scale with your company <end of sales rant/>

Cisco 892 would do that fine, dual WAN interfaces and you can use whatever subnet size you want on the LAN side. Only 50Mbit throughput though. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10203/index.html

Cisco 2911 will do the same but with 180Mbit throughput (and supports loads of other features). http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10540/index.html

On a budget? DrayTek fits the bill.

Actually there does seem to be a 90mbps limit on WAN throughput, but you get what you pay for :) –  BoyMars May 5 '11 at 8:32
