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.
Ok, Thanks for the pricing update. I am decidedly old school and
sometimes get stuck with old information. I did see people selling
these for $800. But I guess the web is full of antiquated pricing info
also.
Thanks for the idea.
Marty
PS Any ideas on inexpensive wireless APs?
