Hi,
I work as an IT consultant, and one of my clients is a small school. They have about 30 computers (15 desktop, 15 laptops), and up until now they've used a consumer-level router (maybe $60). Occasionally it hangs (presumably because of capacity problems), so now they want a better router. Because their budget is very limited I've looked at the Cisco 851 and 871 routers, however the Cisco pages state that the recommended maximum number of users is 10 and 20. Should I blindly trust those numbers, or would those routers work for 30 users? Or maybe there's some other alternative I haven't found? The 871 pretty much hits the limit on their budget, so they can't buy anything more expensive than that.
Thanks
