The Cisco/Linksys is a little more complex.

Linksys are owned by Cisco, and their technology and R&D is what goes into the low end, consumer routers - the little black shiny plastic things like the WRT120N - ?30-60 (Fine for home use)

Cisco also produce with Cisco R&D a small business range SRPB520 series - ?100-?150 mark (Strange products - too expensive, and very limited)

However I wouldn't call either of those a Cisco router.

The proper Cisco kit starts with the 800 series, and then moves up to the 1800, and 2800 series routers - ?300 - ?5000 - When most people in IT are talking about Cisco routers it is this range of routers they will be talking about.

I'm running a Cisco 861 ISR here.

I am also really really considering getting the new AMPED WIRELESS!!! router that has USB sharing and dual band!!! I'll first get a larger capacity USB HDD and then get that router and hook it up to it! can't wait!

no NAT????

i had alot of issues with my xbox and this router, all cause a NAT issue. I had to disable upnp and then port forward abunch of ports. And if you have more than one xbox you will more issues with NAT. It does have NAT but doesnt support it very much. Install DD-WRT and problem solved.

Lots of issues with NAT with xboxes my lil bro and centurylink have duked it out over xbox performance stuff for quite a while...

It's probably just lame uPnP support, if it works when you manually port forward that's a pretty good hint.

I'm using miniupnpd on my router (Works fine with the 360), it does uPnP and NAT-PMP. Unfortunately while it does port forwarding and pokes holes in the firewall, it doesn't talk to the v6 firewall, so I still have to manually configure ports and allow them just for v6 traffic (Useful for some things and not others, I don't want UDP going out over my v6 tunnel for example, but TCP is fine)

Edit: I will say though, NAT-PMP looks so much simpler than uPnP. NAT-PMP uses like 3 different packets to do everything, uPnP relies on other specifications and does everything through XML, but it also does a lot more than just port forwarding.

At home I have a BT Business Hub (2Wire 2700HGV). I also have a Netgear WGR614 router but I can't use it at home because it's a cable router, and we only have ADSL.

Are you sure you don't work for Amped Wireless? :laugh:

    • Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.
    • Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
