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.

Mark,
Do these 1600 series Cisco routers you mention that you find on eBay for
$50-$150 support Layer3 routing? I have a managed switch setup on my
home network with several VLANs defined. (work subnet, home subnet, VOIP
subnet) I currently have to use a Linux box to route between the
VLANs. I'd like to move to Gigabit routing, but I'd need to replace the
Linux box(more processor power and new NICs) and that gets expensive.
I'd much rather have a router or smart switch for that matter that does
Gigabit Layer3 routing all in one unit.
Do you have any recommendations....that wouldn't break the bank?
Thanks,
Ed
