Cisco SD205 5-port 10/100 Switch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This Linksys SD205 switch rules. First, its mesmerizing because its the same size as the Ipod. Second, it does what its advertised such as connecting other computers together and most importantly, it regenerates signal. I was seriously considering buying a repeater, but they cost a couple hundred dollars. Technically, a hub is supposed to do the same thing but who wants that passive crap. The signal in my network started to attenuate and needed regeneration. This badboy fixed it and its back to full strength. I highly recommend this product if you are needing a component to branch out your network.

This newly-redesigned Linksys 5-Port 10/100 Switch can significantly increase your network traffics speed. A switch serves the same function as a hub in a network design -- tying your network equipment together. But unlike a simple-minded hub which divides the networks bandwidth among all the attached devices, a switch delivers full network speeds at each port. Installing this cost-effective 5-Port 10/100 Switch can potentially increase your network speed by five times. It is the perfect way of integrating 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet devices, too. All five ports are auto speed negotiating, and have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you dont have to worry about the cable type. Each port independently negotiates for best speed and half- or full-duplex mode, for up to 200Mbps of bandwidth per port.

Cisco Syst. 851 Ethernet SOHO Security Router ( CISCO851-K9 ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a home user, after upgrading my broadband to 6.0mb/s from Comcast, both my netgear and linksys routers were overwhelmed and couldn't cope up with all the activities for the 5 computers, Xbox360 and Slingbox in the house. After researching all the business class routers, including Netgear, Linksys, Sonicwall and others. Finally, I've decided that Cisco is the best product that would solve my problem. Knowing that this is a sophiscated product, I ordered the most basic router without wireless access (hence less variables to configure). Amazon has the best price among all the websites though you certainly don't get any type of technical support from them. As expected, the router requires some professional knowledge to configure. Being a home user, I only changed very few settings through the SDM software that came with the router and it worked very well within my network. The performance of the router is impressive and I am getting the same download speed if I connect my PC directly to the modem. With all the loaded activities in the house, the CPU usage was just around 40%. This router certainly is of professional quality and doesn't even warm up after leaving it on all the time.
On the flip side, I found that the user interface (SDM) to manage the router is a little over complicated. It could be much more simplier but is still acceptable. The command line interface through the console port is definitely for professional who knows exactly what they are doing. Through the command interface, you can get almost all status and configuration from the router. I dare not to modify any configuration using the console interface because I'm not sure what I'll be changing. In addition, this router is 4 times more expensive than the ones you can get from local retail stores. Overall, I would recommend this router if you need the quality and performance. Otherwise, stay with the consumer products from Linksys or Netgear.

Cisco-Linksys WET200 Wireless-G Business Ethernet Bridge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an excellent wireless bridge. I have it communicating with a Linksys WAP54G running WPA2-PSK to connect an "island" of wired computers to my main network wirelessly. The WET200 includes 5 10/100 ports, so you can connect several computers, a printer, etc. to your network.
The WET200 passes NETBIOS traffic, so Windows file and print sharing work fine. The WET200 also passes DHCP traffic, so you don't have to assign static IP addresses to the devices you plug in. This is especially handy for me because I sometimes have guests who bring their laptops, but those laptops cannot get onto my wireless network (usually because they don't support WPA2). With the WET200, they can just plug in to an unused port and they are instantly on the network.
The bridge features are quite advanced -- more than I need. It is a real learning bridge, not a dumb repeater. It supports VLANs, QoS, Spanning Tree protocol, etc. The good news is you don't have to worry about any of this if you don't need the advanced features. The WET200 comes configured from the factory with sensible defaults.
Setup and installation was a breeze. I followed the quick set-up instructions and was up and running within a few minutes.
At this price point, the WET200 is a steal.

Cisco 871 Integrated Services Router - router ( CISCO871-K9 ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)NOTE: This is review is also in the context of setting up a CCSP/CCNP lab.
Granted in a production environment, the plethora of integrated security features are nice, and if you have fewer than 20 systems on your network, then this little guy is exactly what you need. For a branch-office, its inline security design is ideal. Additonally it supports up to 5VPN tunnels, so admins should be able do whatever tasks are needed. However, if you plan on using this for a DMZ, I'd recommend you reconsider. This only has 128MB of DRAM, and isn't the fastest CPU either, so you -will- have latency on a heavily accessed webserver. If its an extranet for some business partners, I'm sure you can get away it, but this will NOT meet your needs for consumer traffic destined for eCommerce or email relay servers for large corporations.
As far as setting up your own Cisco lab goes, this is by far the cheapest unit to support all the IOS features that must be mastered for CCNP's ISCW, and CCSP's SND and SNRS exams. Specifically:
-CBAC
-APPFW
-DES/3DES IPSec VPN [primarly for site-to-site]
-EZ VPN
-IPS
-WebVPN
-SDM
-AAA
Additionally, it can be configured to interoperate w/ a Micro$oft CA; another plus as far as self-training goes. Not -that- common in Corporate America; however if you plan on deploying smart cards to a highly mobile IT team, it can be useful to know how to do this.
NOTE: For the tests I used IOS 12.4(9), since the exams specificaly as you about attack-drop.sdf, 128.sdf, and 256.sdf. In newer versions of the IOS, they now use v5.x of the signature files, which is completely different format and no longer uses the predefined SDF files.

Cisco-Linksys WSB24 Wireless-B Signal Booster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The reality of WiFi is that just about everyone I know is not getting as solid a signal as they'd like. I've been frustrated by dead spots in the house, and I'm sure we've all done strange "rain dances" with our notebooks, cables, antennas, etc. to try to improve the signal.
However, my WiFi network did not seem as zippy as my Ethernet when using our cable modem, even though the bandwidth of both networks dwarfs the cable modem. Well, instantly after installing the booster, I got noticeably better response in a room where the signal used to be so weak that Linksys' own utility would show no signal strength (even though I could surf from there).
The WSB24 is trivial to install (180 seconds and that was because I didn't know you had to push the cable onto the connector pretty firmly). If you were a LinkSys pioneer and bought the early access points, you owe it to yourself to upgrade with this booster.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Cisco-Linksys WSB24 Wireless-B Signal Booster

The Linksys wireless signal booster piggybacks onto your Linksys wireless access point (or wireless access point router) to increase the effective range and coverage area of your 802.11b network. The added signal strength also helps speed up your close-range communications, because every packet comes through "loud and clear," reducing retransmissions that are due to reception errors.
To install, just stack the Linksys wireless signal booster on your access point, move the antennas to the booster, and attach the booster's twin cables to the access point--no drivers or modifications to your setup are necessary.
The Linksys wireless signal booster saves wiring costs and helps build corporate wireless infrastructure by driving signals even into those distant, reflective corners and hard-to-reach areas. And it's perfect for covering large areas in warehouse environments, public spaces, wireless hot spots, and outdoor venues--anywhere you need extra coverage for your wireless LAN. NOTE: The wireless signal booster is certified by the FCC for use only with the Linksys wireless access point, model number WAP11 and the Linksys wireless access point router, model number BEFW11S4.

T-Mobile Linksys RJ-11 Router - Wireless router - 4-port switch - 802.11b/g - VoIP phone adapter - desktop - T-Mobile Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)T-Mobile sent this unit to me for use with their "AtHome" service. Setup is pretty straightforward, plug in your SIM card, notify T-Mobile so they can activate it (arrange for 911 location service), plug in your RJ-11 phone and you're in business.
You get a nice landline phone with a dial-tone, clear connection, rj-11 plug for any standard kind of phone, 911 service, etc. However, there are two BIG problems.
The first is that the RJ-11 interface is a very low power one. In other words, it will only power one phone at the most -and even that phone must use very little landline power or it will cause problems where you suddenly find yourself without service. Originally I tried connecting two phones to the unit with a splitter. The ring voltage on the Linksys is not enough to power two ringing phones. As a result, if a call comes in the phones will not ring properly and cause a power loss that messes up the router, dropping it's connection to the internet and disabling your phone service until you give it a restart. Even if you have only one phone, it better not have a loud ringer or a lighted keypad or you'll have similar problems. I ended up having to shell out an extra $300 for a ring & line voltage booster (from Viking). I now have 4 phones connected without issue.
The other problem is Wifi range. My original router was a Netgear which I was very happy with. In order to use the AtHome service I have to replace my old router & Wifi with this Linksys. The Netgear used to give me 4 full bars all over my house where with the Linksys, I can only get two bars if I'm anything over 20 feet away from it. I tried connecting a better antenna which only slightly helped. Wifi output power is simply too low (and unlike other Wifi devices, the Linksys doesn't offer configuration settings to increase or decrease transmit power).
Cisco/Linksys would have saved a lot of people a lot of aggravation if they only designed the thing with a little more power from the get go.
T-Mobile's At Home service is a decent value until you add in all the time, effort and additional equipment needed to make it work properly. They require a two year commitment and I have to say at this point I'm sorry I ever signed up for it.

1PORT Docsis 2.0 Cable Hwic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)UPDATED 10-13-2009. Please see: [...] for information on how to get this device working with Comcast as your Internet Service Provider.
The review below is based on my dealings with Comcast in July of 2009 when I first purchased the unit.What can I say? It would be a beautiful thing if this HWIC in my 1841 router was supported by Comcast. I could then consolidate the modem, router and switch into a nice 1U rack-mountable device that would fit perfectly into a small network cabinet in the basement.
I made some progress with Comcast. At one point cable-modem0/0/0 was pulling a DHCP address and after getting the device configured via CLI I got a workstation out to Comcast's walled garden. I was unable to get it to activate...I should have called Comcast at that point but I messed around, erased my config, rebuilt the config...spent countless hours on the phone with Comcast trying to get the HFC Mac address of the modem squared away.
Most recently, I was informed by Comcast that the HFC Mac address of the cisco hwic-modem is showing as a LEASED modem in their system...and apparently I am going to be charged for having posession of 2 leased modems at the same time until I resolve it at my local Comcast office.
In any case. Oh sorry, this is supposed to be a Cisco HWIC-Cable-Modem-D-2 review. =) I was actually a little surprised at the lack of end-user documentation for this device. Typically Cisco has a plethora of configuration examples to get a base configuration on any given device. From the limited experience I've had with the HWIC, it appears to function no differently than a typical Ethernet or FastEthernet interface when being addressed from CLI. With DOCSIS, the ISP should be providing some sort of configuration to the device through magic or whatever.
The limited information I found online through forums and discussions have stated that the HWIC-Cable-Modem-D-2 is rock solid, fewer errors than consumer-grade modems, fewer dropouts, more reliable and robust.
I just caution anyone purchasing this item in hopes of using it with Comcast as an ISP. I had no problems getting a technician to enter the HFC Mac address in on their end...but I've had nothing but problems since.

Cisco-Linksys BEFN2PS4 EtherFast Cable/DSL Voice Router Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've got 2 10baseT computers on a separate hub, connected to the Uplink port of the Linksys, then 1 100baseT laptop and a 10baseT desktop connected directly to the Linksys. The Linksys is connected to the cable modem, and all 4 computers have high speed internet access. I also have a telephone connected to the Linksys, which gives me cheap net2phone calls over the internet, with no computer involved. Everything works great, but to get net2phone to work I had to set the Linksys to use the static IP the cable company gave me to connect to the internet, rather than allowing the cable company to randomly assign the Linksys an IP with DHCP. But all my computers on the network are randomly assigned IPs by the Linksys, since the Linksys is also a DHCP server.

Cisco DOCSIS 3.0 DPC3000 Cable Modem DPC-3000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using the the DPC3000 with Comcast for over 6 months with no problems at all.
FYI, we are Internet users only, we don't have Comcast cable or phone service and we've been leasing the modem because I heard that their were going to be network upgrades and sure enough Comcast rolled out their DOCSIS 3.0 service. The DPC3000 cane as a free swap from Comcast. I called and got it 3 days later (I returned the old one to local Comcast office).
The only problem I encountered was due to my ancient Linksys BEFSR41 wired router. The comm chipset in the Linksys was so old that it wasn't designed for the kind of throughput that was coming down the wire from Comcast and the DPC3000, and it wouldn't sync up any faster than approx 5mbs (though it did work)! Once I replaced it *, I've been bumping along along at approx 18-20mbs. Quite a jump from the 6-8mb I had been getting before and NO cost increase, though it's still not cheap. Since it was installed the DPC3000 has been trouble free. Zero problems.
* FYI: I bought a Netgear N600 WNDR3700 router , which has been performing extremely well.

Cisco-Valet Connector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My goal was to connect my new desktop (running Windows 7) to my existing wireless network.
What I liked:
1. It worked - not to set the bar too low, but this was the second adapter I tried. So I was elated that this actually worked.
2. Ease of setup - no extra discs, just plug it into a USB port and the necessary drivers (and the actual Win7 drivers, which it seems most adapters on the market do not have pre-packaged) are right in the adapter itself. Though this was not perfect - see below.
3. The design is attractive and convenient with a built-in stand.
4. Speed seems good - no issues so far.
What I did not like - the setup software that comes with the device wants to be the controller for your network. After downloading the drivers it did not want the password for my network, but rather the Hexidecimal password. After shutting that part of the installer down I just used the wireless network function within Windows itself to locate and join my existing network. A minor issue at best.
My needs are simple, so I cannot say if this will be good for more complex situations/ needs, but it works and I'm happy.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The web interface for this router isn't all that great, and it's incompatible with dd-wrt and openwrt. However, the performance is solid, as I haven't yet ever had to reset this router. It happens to support all of the things I've needed to do with it, so hacking the firmware hasn't been necessary, anyway.
