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.

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.

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:

    • Microsoft Authenticator - Constant Login Approval Requests

      By +Elі · Posted

      Do not enter the code under any circumstances, or you will be sorry. It's definitely and most likely a hacking attempt.  That happened to me a couple of years ago, and I kept receiving those prompts for months. It's simply the attacker trying to get you tired of the constant requests, so you just give up and enter the code, so they can log in to your account.

    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
