I have. I did not list the three wireless access points, the IP camera, or a few other devices for which I assign static addresses and no default gateway so the ASG doesn't count them.
I know there are other products out there. But, I like the Astaro. Lobbying for a change to the 10-IP limitation is another solution, which is what we're doing.
It's simply not a valid measure of home use. They need to come up with something different.
Whatever they come up with doesn't have to be free. But to solve my problem I have to go to a 120 or 25-User Software and while I might be able to stomach the initial hardware purchase (which would suck after dropping a few hundies into a 1GB C7 with 3 NICs just to run the home version), Gold Maintenance, Web Security, and Email Security subscriptions are simply too expensive for a home router.
There's a gaping hole in Astaro's licensing between the free home use router and the 120/25-user software offering for those who only need more than 10-IPs.
