Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone can clarify if the NM-1FE2W or NM-2FE2W will work in the 2610XM?

These two pages seems to contradict each other:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps259/product_data_sheet09186a00801aa71c.html

I've an option on some 2610XM's cheap for my lab, but I need to have 2FE ports in each. Some people have told me the NM-1FE2W and NM-2FE2W will work in the XM's and some others have said they wont!

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

The "Portable Product Sheet - Module Crossref" confirms - no support for NM-1FE2W in the 2600XM routers. The NM-1FE2W is only supported in the 2691, 3620, 3640, 366x, 3725, 3745, 3825, and 3845 routers.The only supported LAN Network Modules in the 2600XMs are the NM-1E, NM-4E, and NM-16EWS. The only supported "WIC Slot Adding Network Modules" in the 2600XMs is/are the NM-2W.

Hope to Help !!

I was in a similar situation. Even if the wireless module(s) are supported, a used 800 series router with built in wireless works out about the same price as just the wireless module.

Wireless modules:

     HWIC-AP-G - $150 (approx.)

     HWIC-AP-AG $169 (approx.)

Cisco 871W 4-Port 10/100 Wireless Router - $100 + $15 shipping

I ended up buying an 800 series (871w) router.

Hope this helps.
