Hi



We have a network with about 200 computers, but normaly only about 50
will be connectod to internet at the same time. We have a cheap ADSL
router (a tipical personal router) which hangs several times a day when
there are many connections. We are thinking on changing the router and
we are thinking on the following router

Cisco 857 Integrated Services Router puertos

http://www.optize.es/servlet/CISCO_857_INTEGRATED_SERVICES_ROUTER_-_E_258837_optize.html




we need ADSL2+, NAT, ethernet 100, we dont need wifi.



it will be a correct choice or it will be too "small" and we will need a
1800 series router?





thanks

Yes, I think your hunch about the 1800 series is correct
The 800-series is fine for really small offices with ten workstations,
but if you're going to be having 50 (and with the CPU overhead of NAT and
maybe firewall if you buy the Advanced IOS), you may want to go up one
level and go for the 1801.

Plus, with the 1801, you get an 8-port switch included instead of a 4-port
switch.

The price difference isn't too bad. (I'm in Canada)
A quick check seems to show I can get an 857 for about $400 and an 1801
for $1,000

I agree with the first post I would just like to add that the 1800
series will allow upgrades is you decided to use the modular
fuctionality

Go with 1801 as it will be customized and used in better way then 800
series.
Moreover later you can run IPSEC etc with that router

Wow a couple DSL threads today. :)

I also would recommend the 1800 series. I'm using it at home (just a few
systems connected) but it has all the functionality I need.

Using a cisco 1841. No expansion ports as of yet, but I am thinking
about adding in an aironet module.
