It's D-Link, if you hadn't guessed, and it's the DIR series.

Regarding "enterprise", these devices are not service provider kit but 
they're not under-the-TV-set either, and our use-case is basically 
typical of a branch-office set up. In which the DIR works really well, 
if it didn't do demented things with DNS.
