Firewall/Router for SMB site to site VPN

[schoondoggy 872]

Trying to help a local small business setup firewall/router in two locations with VPN site to site. 

They have a very limited budget, under $250 per site.

I was looking at:

Cisco RV320

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/routers/rv320-dual-gigabit-wan-vpn-router/index.html

or

Ubiquiti Enterprise Gateway Router

https://www.ubnt.com/unifi-routing/usg/

Anyone worked with either/both of these?

Thoughts?

Other recomendations?

Take a look at the Synology RT2600ac Router, They have a really nice VPN package called VPN Plus. I use this to tunnel into my home and it works great, You will need one Site-To-Site VPN License cost a one time cost of 9.99 per tunnel. You get a free 30 day trial with the router. The router cost 195.00 each Amazon

 

This really is a great router, I now have three of them in service. Its easy to setup and has a nice mobile app.

 

SNB Review, It tied with Netgear for #1 Rank in AS2600 Routers in performance.

Questions,

 

1) what internet speed do they have?

2) How many users at each location?

3) Do they host any services such as email, Website, Ect.?

4) Do they need dual WAN?

5) What are they using for WiFi?

I have not tried either, but I have been intrigued by the edge router pro for a while now and was going to get one to try, if you choose it let me know how it goes

It's been a long time since I've gone with Cisco but when I did go with them it was for the site to site VPN qualities.  That price is hard to beat.  http://amzn.to/2Ep0CJn . Let us know what you decide.

What is their internet pipe size.  With full firepower features if needed the 5506-x asa will do what you want and give Security and url filtering.

1. 10Mb up and 100Mb down at each location

2. Ten employees at the office and five at the warehouse

3. At the office they have their ERP/database. Email is web based. The site to site VPN would be to replicate their storage, printing from the office in the warehouse and possible access to the ERP from the warehouse.

4. No

5. Older Aruba running in IAP mode.

It is beyond their budget, but I really do like the FirePOWER services. This would also offer them better protection and I could get them to start working with a local Cisco VAR. Then I would no longer be their IT guy and that would be a good thing!

Mikrotik rb2011 or CRS line, or if you need good ipsec throughput even 1100x2/1100x4. Maybe outside the budget a bit the last one..

Its been a long time for me also, The last Cisco I used was an RV082. I agree the price is hard to beat but I see one thing I don't ike about it already, The firmware upgrade is completely a manual process (That would be a deal breaker for me) Checkout the setup video

Thanks for the info, I should of asked those questions first. So yes the Synology would work great for you, You can also do Geo Blocking to reduce threats from county that don't need access. This works great. You may also be able to use it for wireless, Synology is entering the Mesh party soon, They announced it at Synology 2018 and it will work with the RT2600ac router.
