I have a NetGear VPN router (8-port) for 10 years. last week it stopped working since we had a storm with some lightning.
Last year I got a new Modem from my ISP and it is Gigabytes speed now.
what is the best brand of router can I get now? any recommendations?

I went for a Ubiquiti Dream Machine.
Is better than most home routers, but cost more of course.

One of these days a rogue is going to show the world how to use RRCP and the other Out-of-band management built into all ethernet and wireless PHY.
Revealed Chinese capabilities might have less repercussions but revealing the others might have a greater penalty. Feel sorry for that guy.

For cheaper VPN router, I use Asus 66U, on separate public IP. Has openvpn server and does PPTP. This for separate LAN with cameras, NVR system, no other computers.
For more security and hardware to hardware VPN's, I use Sonicwall SOHO ($$) on its own IP.
I am NOT paranoid, they really are out to get me.

Synology offers VPN and good feature set, I got a Ubiquiti Dream router and it's fantastic, but it can't reach 1gbps, max 600-700mbps, which, in my case is more than enough.
Having VPN server, poe ports, the baility to create VLANS... all this is very nice and good to have.

One thing I've come to realize is that many consumer router manufacturers will put something out to market, and never provide any firmware updates (or they're very slow at doing so)...given a serious-enough vulnerability, you can end up with a perfectly good, recent router that you have no choice but to replace if patches aren't forthcoming.
Network security is hard. How many "experts" do router manufacturers employ to create/maintain their firmware?
All this to say: One question I would ask is, when looking to buy a router, can you immediately replace its firmware with some open-source version such as OpenWRT, DDWRT, Tomato, etc.
I'm no network expert myself, so years ago I was worried if I committed to some open-source firmware, whether this was going to be something I'd have to constantly fiddle with. I downloaded DD-WRT, installed it, initially looked at some of the options it offered, and never had to go back. Bonus, it provides many more options than what came with the router (consumer router firmware is really dumbed down). Not that I ever needed the options...but I know they're there if I ever wanted to start toying with them.
[Edit]
Another bonus: If you ever do change routers, and the new one can also run the same firmware you're already familiar with...then there's no learning curve when it comes to setting it up.

No clue on it's startup page.
I can estimate it from my installation date, but why not have it right next to its name on startup page?
Normally there is an "about" tab for many programs that gives one this information.

Help and Check for Updates will show your current version and when it was installed along with an update version if available.

Btw Thanx guys for answering so quickly.
So one has to open a file to see help and then see version.
My point. Why is this information not on the VS startup page?
I guess I am lazy.

No you don't have to open anything. In the "load/create a project" dialog, there's a small link called "Continue without code ->". Click that and Visual Studio opens without loading anything, then you can click Help -> "About Microsoft Visual Studio".

got it!
Thanx Dave.

Sorry for being such a curmudgeon.

Might be time for you to retire. Codeproject is the perfect place, contact Chris and ask if there is a retirement package. Let all your old engineering friends know about the benefits.

Already retired. CP keeps me from becoming brain dead. Learn something new almost everyday.
CP is a nice part of a retirement package. I referred a number of folks to CP.
