The Zyxels are pretty good  - isn't there a newer device in their portfolio that might suit? Netgear is also reasonable if you get the right model. I've heard some good comments about Billion but I've never used one myself. Also look at some of the more expensive routers that specialise in VoIP or security - just google for "Secure Router", "Security Router", etc. Many of them in fact have IPSEC built in, I got this:

I found  BiPAC 8200N and Zyxel P873HNUP.  The Zyxel says it has pass
through and I can't find a real user manual to see if it can be disabled
(but this was the last brand I had and it did work).  The Billion BiPac
does not say it has pass through.  Does anyone have any opinons?

Thank you,
