A very solid router but certainly not for amateur .......2007-02-04
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.

Enterprise is like a Cisco so ... is Linksys.......2007-05-13
Good web administration faster and easy to setup
Doesn't work with Firefox -- or ANY mac browser!.......2006-11-22
I second the comments about the loud fan.
However, the deal breaker for me (I'm returning the unit I bought) is that the web management interface does not work with Firefox. In fact, it works ONLY with IE on a PC.
Given that many other Linksys products work with Firefox, I was pretty surprised.
Linksys needs to have a talk with the clue fairy and cut some new firmware.
NOISY - VERY Noisy.......2005-04-02
I placed this switch in an isolated central wiring closet that has other network equipment, some with fans and disk drives. There has never been any sound audible outside the wiring closet.
This switch sounds like a vacuum cleaner, and is clearly audible and objectionable in every room that abuts the closet.
The switch seems to function OK but the noise is so loud that I regret the purchase.
Unless you can mount this switch were noise is already very loud, or where noise will not bother anyone, I'd recommend you look elsewhere.
Great switch but big and noisy!.......2005-02-23
Check out those dimensions! BIG!. It has a fan too and they haven't taken any lessons from Steve Jobs about making the fan quiet so it better be in an enclosed, insulated space if you are putting this in your home or small office.
Other than that it is great and a real performer (switches at wire speed)
p.s.
I wish I could change my vote to 2 stars.
Although they answered the support line quickly, I was told that the noise of this product is as designed and it really isn't intended for a small office, but rather should live in an already noisy data center where it can just add to the din. I am going to return mine and find another brand that actually wants it's equipment to be used in a small office. Sigh...

Customer Reviews:
Works great.......2007-08-23
I was extremely hesitant in getting this because I worried that voice lag would be created by the semi-complicated setup we have.
To give some background:
We have 3 cordless phones around our house that talk to a central base station that is plugged into a wall jack. Elsewhere in the house, we have Linksys PAP2 device (Vonage Service) that one end plugs into the wall (backfeeding to the phone base station), and the other half was plugged into our home router.
For those Visual People:
Cordless Phone > Phone Base Station > House Wiring > PAP2 > Router > Cable Modem > Vonage
My concern was that by inserting a Wireless Bridge between the PAP2 and the Router (which is now on the other side of the house), that a delay would be created, or the signal would occasionally just drop.
I am happy to say that I completely over thought the complications of it.
When the device came, I followed the setup wizard on the CD (didn't bother with the picture book type printed instructions) and had the bridge configured in about 15 minutes. I then moved the PAP2 and Bridge to where I needed them, and plugged it in...and like magic, everything worked great. We've had no lag, no problems, and most importantly, no signal drops.
While wired is still the most reliable method to make sure your VoiP phone device talks to your network consistently, I would definitely recommend this device to anyone who has to take the wireless route.
Works great, just a little expensive.......2007-02-08
This actually will work with any VoIP phone that has the same power plug. I'm using it with a grandstream budgetone.
Unwires a Sipura VOIP Device.......2006-09-10
Need to operate a Sipura (now Linksys) ATA VOIP device wirelessly? This is the device for you. For example, you are in a hotel room that only offers a wireless internet connection. You wouldn't be able to use your Sipura ATA because there is no wired ethernet connection.
The Linksys WBP54G will allow you to unwire your Sipura VOIP ATA device's ethernet connection. The WBP54G acts as a wireless bridge for a Sipura device. No power brick needed, it shares power from the Sipura ATA's DC adapter.
After reading the Quick Installation, I figured I could get by without any WBP54G setup procedure whatsoever. YMMV. I'm not using any wireless secutity on my router (Linksys WRT54GL). There's no other open router within range. I just plugged in the WBP54G and it worked immediately. Voice quality is just as good as wired ethernet.
The device is small, about the size of a pack of cigarettes. Since no additional parts are needed, it travels easily.

Great Firewall.......2005-06-30
After some research and few friend's recommendation, I decided on PIX 501. It's the lowest model of PIX from Cisco (which fits our small company's need), but it has the same technology of Stateful Packet Inspection as other Cisco Firewall, except at a lower bandwidth.
I'm not a network admin, so I didn't know that with a firewall, I need to change all public IP to internal IP in order for it work. Since this particular PIX doesn't do layer 2 conversion. So I got my work cut out for me to migration over 50 machines to internal IP, well, it's for the best security anyway. Should have been done a long time ago before I inherit the network. Firewall rules are pretty simple, similar to Cisco router ACL. I wanted to use the GUI, but my friends were against it, they said it's pretty weak. They're right, command line is better, but nevertheless, I tried the GUI (PDM), it's not bad to see some graphs but for some feature I think it's less confusing using command line. PDM is written in Java but Java 1.5 won't work, some compatibility issue, you have to use Java 1.4. I found this out the hard way.
It's got some pretty nice feature because of packet inspection, like it checks for ftp command, so bad commands to ftp port gets block. This will block hacker from hacking using bug inside the FTP server. Also for FTP, it takes care of ftp ports usage (port 20, 21), none of these active/passive issues. Passive FTP works w/ firewall, but if both side has firewall w/ high ports blocked, then ftp will have problem. But the PIX takes care of that issue.
Overall, it's a solid firewall, haven't had any trouble with it once it's setup. Pretty happy with it. And the unlimited licenses means unlimited IP internally, so we don't have to worry about the license issue.
Great product with great price.......2004-07-19
You can get every goodies of network security from this little baby, except the DMZ and VLANs. In response of previous comment, you can always get PIX 515E, 525, or even 535 for more network demand. But again, basically they are all the same. The differences are only the DMZ, VLAN, and speed.
Since this kind of product requires sufficient knowledge of networking, I advise not to blame products due to your lack of knowledge. Most problems with firewalls (and other networking devices) are improper choice of product, poor configuration, and lack of networking knowledge. You should know what you are doing and what are the implications.
Cisco products have been proven as top of the line in regards of their customer services. As an example, go to their website. You will find wealth of networking tips, which is gold mine even for non-Cisco users. Never other companies have this kind of website.
You can your every penny worth with Cisco products (including this PIX 501) as long as (one more time) you know what you are doing and why.
Another award winning product from Cisco.......2004-06-29
Cisco PIX 501 Security Appliance is perfect firewall system for offices with moderate threat level to their security. Firewall device 501 is ideal for securing high-speed broadband environments, the Cisco PIX 501 delivers up to 60 Mbps of firewall throughput, and supports up to 3 Mbps of Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) VPN throughput. The Advanced Encryption Standard-128 (AES) VPN throughput has 4.5 Mbps speed capability.
The Cisco PIX 501 Security Appliance provides several options for securing network communications between mobile users, remote offices, and corporate networks over low-cost Internet connections. However, for bigger corporate and enterprise level and to support complex network configurations, this is not a right product. I still believe that checkpoint is a better solution for bigger networks but its support is not as good as Cisco.
Moreover, Cisco devices are generally fully compatible with other Cisco products like routers and VPN concentrators.
Again, The quality and reliability should not be discussed here as it is another standard quality product from Cisco Inc. Cisco 501 Security Appliance will serve the purpose well for smaller offices with fewer remote locations.

Linksys SPA8000 8-Port Telephony Gateway - VoIP phone adapter - EN, Fast EN
Product Features:
- Unlocked PAP2 + Router with QoS adapter works with any SIP voip provider of your choice, such as Babytel, Acanac, StanaPhone, Vbuzzer, Gizmo, Voipbuster, Voipstunt, etc. It has 2 separate phone lines. You can configure 2 independent phone numbers at the same time, one for North America, another for oversea.
- PAP2 + Router with QoS is better then just PAP2, because they already have a good router built inside with many features including QoS, which makes voice quality better. Not every router has QoS feature. Therefore, this device is better than a combination of just a PAP2 and a regular router without the function of QoS.
- Plus, PAP2 adapter, for some reasons, doesn't work well with every router in the market. Sme people changed their router just because it didn't work with PAP2. When you have a PAP2 + Router with QoS adapter, you won't have that risk. It is plug-and-play. That's why PAP2 + Router with QoS is better then just PAP2.
- What is QoS? It is short form of Quality of Service. It gives priority to voice signals in your networking. Let's say you're using internet for download, when you receive or place a call, the router slows down all your jobs and prioritizes on voice signals. That helps receiving better voice quality.
