Is there a Cisco Router Available for Home Wireless?

There are many companies out there who produce wireless equipment. May I ask why you do not wish to use Linksys, Dlink or Netgear?

Here are some others...

I am sure there are many more.......

Hotbrick 401W

I plan on getting one and plugging it into my WG converting the 401W into a wire/wireless AP switch.

WG has a wireless but it's only wireless B

Because they are basically all low end "consumer" grade hardware.

Belkin is a reliable alternative.

Cisco 1100 and 1200 series WiFI APs are very nice. look on ebay.

More power. Nice cosmetics; they come with brackets that let them hang on the wall, wired from behind. With POE you don't even need a

120VAC power cord.

You're recommending access points for use as a router?

And "small business...don't forget small business...

No, but the OP might be interested in what better-grade WiFi gear looks like and costs.

How big is your home network?

You can always load Sveasoft firmware onto a Linksys router to give it additional features.

Linksys is a division of Cisco, but they are a consumer grade.

Sure Linksys.com

Well, "low end" consumer gear is what you really want for a small home network, unless you have alot of money to create a Enterprise Network. But that would be overkill bigtime.

How many computers are you looking to connect in this network and in how big of an area?

Cisco stuff is REALLY expensive. Draytek Vigor 2600 range is good alternative, very reliable, full featured (e.g. printer and VoIP ports). Mine hasn't missed a bit in 20 months. While the price is ~50% above cheap consumer stuff, it's nowhere as bad as Cisco. Regards, Martin

Or check the Cisco 1600 or 1700 series routers, with the appropiate wic for you wan connection. For wireless you would also need a cisco wap then. Check ebay they have lots of older used cisco hardware for decent prices. Or for routing use a old pc with linux.
