Any replacement for Cisco 831?
I see that Cisco 831 is 2+ years old.
Would you know if Cisco has anything newer to replace the 830 series?
How long do usually Cisco series sell before new series are released? Should I buy a Cisco 831 now or wait a little bit maybe for a brand new series to be available?
Isn't two years old? Or simply upgrading the IOS software keeps the router up to date with the latest technology improvements regarding routing, firewall software, ...?
I want to connect two SOHO networks and I am leaning towards a CISCO 831 vs PIX 501. I prefer to learn to use a router rather than a firewall. And I am guessing creating VPN tunners between the two offices is easier with the 831 than the PIX 501. Am I right with my choice of 831?
Thank you
