Marty,
Where are you paying $1000 for a 1600 series Cisco? I can get you 20% off that price on any quantity (note: Sarcasam). Its not the 1990's anymore. You can get them on eBay ($50-150) for only slightly more then the Linksys. The performance is rock solid. Three-quarters of the world have used them for decades. I know of units running 2 and 3 YEARS between reboots. The power company reboots my equipment more then I do. Ok it is true that Cisco does not support the models anymore, but you can't buy a services contract for a linksys router either. It can sometimes be a little difficult to configure without any technical knowledge but that is what most of us get paid for. It does impress the customer when you bring in the "grey" box labled "Cisco". As for performance just try to put 50 people behind a linksys/netgear/dlink. I've used 1605R supporting +100 users. Not even a blink. Finally, untill everyone is using >10Mps FTTH the "broad band" link is still the slowest part of the connection. Not to shabby for "antiquated" technology.

I'm using a Cisco 1605R [running IOS 12.3(5a)] small office router with "Fair-Weight" queueing enabled. Works great. The nice thing about Fair-Weight queueing is that it dynamically adapts to lower the priority of higher demand traffic (e.g. large downloads). If you want quality stick with quality stuff.

Reread the subject line please. $1000 (US) isn't inexpensive by any stretch.
