Which Cisco Router?

[LeanneGodney]

Hi everyone,

I have a small/medium business that specialises in IT Training as well as training room hire. This means that we run our own training courses but we also hire out our facilities to outside clients. Some of these clients run their own online courses, requiring very fast, reliable internet access. I am also looking to start offering things like online conferencing, etc.

At our capacity we could have around 70 users connected at the same time. However, I'd like to cater for 100 if I can.

We have cat5 broadband cabling throughout the building, and we also have some aironet radio access points for wireless. We're in the process of finding a very fast broadband supplier. Currently it's around 24 meg download and 2.5 meg upload.

Please can someone recommend a good, powerful and reliable router. I will need VPN as well, but I don't see us needing more than 5 connections.

Other than that, we don't really need much functionality! I've been using a Linksys Wireless-N Home ADSL2+ Modem Router WAG320N, which is okay, but I want to step things up a bit.

I'm based in London.

Thanks for any suggestions you give me!

Leanne

try using 1841 or 28xx router. These are for small/branch offices

I'd also suggest using a Cisco 1841 with an AIM VPN for hardware VPN acceleration.

Hey ciscobuy---take some notes, son...

"I will need VPN as well, but I don't see us needing more than 5 connections."

So enlighten us, Mr. Desperate Salesman---why the need for a VPN Accelerator? Do you even know what one is? How do the admins miss you sales geeks?
