Looks about identical to the near 300 dollar USG40...but this is priced at under 200 bucks.
Kaspersky as the AV scanning engine on it.

Interesting.

I quite like ZyXEL's stuff. I've worked with the USG20W, USG50 and the SBG3300 so far. The web interfaces could be more intuitive, but they're not bad when you get used to them. Overall, they're pretty cheap, cheerful and reliable though.

Looks like good product to pitch to those couple of user SoHo businesses who wouldnt normally spend the cash on UTM appliance.

Yeah...I've found them to be fairly solid units, never cutting edge barnstormers...but hey....with Kaspersky at the door doing the scanning, should be a decent unit for that price. Haven't really played with them in years, but back when they were related to the old old Netgear...back when they were under the BayNetworks cloud...nice units.
