Looking for appropriate router

[kevinnnguyen]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a router under $500 which connect 3 different networks together.

I have an network application running on a laptop. I plan to have my laptop communicate with 3 different networks. I think a router is the device I need.

Anyone know a router model that fits my needs.

Thanks

You should probably look at the Cisco 800 series. The model numbers with W (like 871W) has wireless also. The default license only supports two VLANs though.

The link below shows that the 871 series supports up to four:
