This TechSoup user is looking for a router to serve a main office. This office serves fifteen employees maximum, though usually less logged in at one time. Currently the office uses MailStreet Exchange Email via internet and a Windows 2003 server on a local network that is doing IP Routing, DCHP, and VPN service. These are all connected to QWest DSL 7MB up and 786kb down. The user would like to offload the Routing, DHCP, and VPN to a dedicated router appliance that does that handles these functions plus firewall protection in one device.
The office also has a small remote location with six users who need to VPN into the main office for authentication and data access. No applications are running over the VPN link. The remote office has its own DSL connection and small Netgear router.
Is the Cisco 1811 a good router option or is there another solution you’d recommend? Answer it here!
