[ThomasSebastian31448]

Hi 

i am new to this. I want to buy a router for a business purpose my requirement is i want more than 50 port forwarding entries and minimum of 10 LAN ports and 2 WAN ports  

kindly point out which product i need to buy

Most of the routers come with Limited LAN ports - suggest to buy a additional switch is the good practice, some model have switch line card need to buy. some mode has but cost go up, instead buy separate is good idea (personally)

most router go by specification of throughput you looking at WAN side.

look a the models :

HI,

Thanks for the Replay . we have firewall so most of the systems going through firewall i need to connect couple of systems outside the firewall that's y i need additional lan ports 

What about Port forwarding

I do not recommend personally  to expose your server to directly WAN or Internet.

Since you mentioned you have FW, i suggest to host them behind FW, with NAT/PAT - that is good security approach.
