    Hi there,

    Wanted to know if there is a router in the market, that forwards traffic from all connected wireless/wired PC's, also to 1 central port so that the traffic can be analyzed
    etc. by WireShark?

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Most commercial router products provide this function.

    I am not aware of any consumer grade routers that do.

    It's for a project, and we need to monitor traffic in a controlled environment.

    Any ideas, which commercial router I should check out? Thanks dailun.
    Perhaps routers from Linksys? Which product-line?

    Linksys are all what I would consider "consumer grade" routers.

    You're looking for something from Cisco, Juniper, Brocade (foundry), Extreme.

    You might find a low-end Cisco router on eBay. Perhaps one of the Cicso experts can chime in.
