It's not the physical interface speed
Authored by: priller on Jan 01, '07 10:49:46AM

Unless you are talking 10-half, the physical interface speed is not relevant. An Ethernet speed of 100M does not mean 100M wan-to-lan throughput.

When looking for a router, look for a "firewall throughput" rating on the datasheet. I would not go for anything less than 30M. If you can't find this spec, I wouldn't buy it.
