What router would work best for my app?

[pattardi]

Hi,

I have been looking at two Cisco routers for my home/work network. They are the 1811 and the 871 series.

My network consists of 1 2K3 SBS (It dose my DHCP, Domain Controller, Wins, and active directory.), 2 Cad stations, 1 Email/web PC, 1 Notebook, and I will have 3 people VPN'ing in at any point in time for files.

Also, my broadband connection is cable (8m/768k) as of right now and will soon see FiOS in my area and I am looking at possibly getting the 15m/2m tier or the 30m/5m tier if the price is right. So will aether of these routers handle this wan connection speed?

The 871 peaks at about 12mbps vs. 35mbps for the 1811.

Check out this document to compare all models.

Hope this helps. Please rate this post.

BTW...Is there test done bidirectional or just one way?

[bhedlund]

Cisco always quotes speeds in half-duplex (unidirectional).
