0's and 1's don't differentiate biz/home or brand. before corporate out of nj laid down the law on their motorola router and frac t1 at my largest client, i had roadrunner biz class service at that site with fancy schamncy cisco 924 router. it puked *3* times over 2 years while my residential roadrunner connection with motorola cable modem and linksys router kept on ticking.
too bad corporate pays ten times as much and gets ten times less bandwidth. ah, the price of control. Mbps, IP, DNS and cost are all that matter. everything else can just go home and is pure marketing fluff. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Greg Brown Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 6:50 PM To: Triangle Linux Users Group discussion list Subject: Re: Re[2]: [TriLUG] Xmas wireless question But we're back to business vs. home use. Cisco has been wanting to get into the home market for a long time so purchasing Linksys seems like a logical step. Comparing the quality of inksys hardware to something that Cisco, Foundry, Extreme, etc might produce gives me a good chuckle, though. Last time I checked there was nothing from Linksys on the government TIC approved list. And there's a reason for that (probably several). In the end for home use Linksys is probably fine. $79.00 for a card and an AP is hard to beat. On a network that I had to support I wouldn't have a Linksys anything unless I wanted to visit the client on a higher than regular basis for some reason. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
