Summary
The SohoWare Broadguard is the first sub $200 router to sport a firewall with statefull packet inspection. The web based user interface features pop-up help screens that are especially informative and helpful. The Broadguard has a well rounded feature and represents a new measure by witch other routers should be measured.

Peer comment(s):

agree Jack den Haan : Or literally 'help screens' IMHO. // Appreciate your point, Kate. I don't think 'pop up' is completely justified by the context here, however ('oproepen' doesn't necessarily imply a pop-up mechanisme).

Thanks Jack, That might work but as they contain theories rather than actual help, it might be confusing. Pop-up theory screens might fit the bill.
neutral Dave Calderhead : help screen was the usual term when I was programming and developing help texts containing related information, theories , or whatever
