What customers say
Users highly value the Cisco 2801 for its exceptional reliability and robust build quality, making it a popular choice for home labs and certification training due to its low cost and classic IOS features. This enduring dependability is a major strength. However, sentiment shifts when considering modern demands. Performance limitations, particularly slow throughput with advanced services like VPNs, render it unsuitable for current production environments. Furthermore, users note its high power consumption and fan noise as significant drawbacks for continuous operation. Ultimately, the 2801 is seen as a reliable, feature rich relic best suited for specialized educational use.
