I'm not sure whether it's the right place to ask for a router / firewall recommendation.

My requirements are as follows:

  • supports IPSEC tunnels (at least two connections)
  • has WAN/LAN throughput of almost 100Mbit/s and in VPN mode at least 50Mbit/s
  • shouldn't be noisy, because is for home office
  • the price range is up to $500

I've some Cisco 2600/3600 and PIX 515E available, but these are to noisy and the power consumption is quite too much. But they would fulfil my requirements ;)

You'll never get 50MBit through a 2600 router. – Tom O'Connor Mar 1 '11 at 8:30
okey, i've never tested the throughput on a cisco 2600. – Danny Meier Mar 1 '11 at 8:55

You want quite a high throughput, but for not very much money.
That's going to be tricky.
The only sensible device I can think of which ticks all of your boxes is the Cisco ASA 5505. 100Mbit WAN/LAN, 150Mbit VPN Throughput. Small form factor, fanless (I think), and Quite Cheap (Local pricing may vary, but they're less than 300 GBP)

ASA5505 would also be my choice, wonderful little boxes. – pauska Mar 1 '11 at 11:59
