What customers say
This router earns praise for its legendary reliability and robust build quality, making it a trusted platform for SOHO environments. Networking professionals value it highly as an excellent, low-cost tool for mastering Cisco IOS, appreciating the deep configuration options for security and traffic control. However, its age presents clear limitations. Performance bottlenecks arise with modern high-speed internet due to insufficient throughput. Moreover, the reliance on the Command Line Interface creates a steep learning curve, frustrating users seeking simple setup. It remains a superb choice for low bandwidth needs or dedicated learning, but its dated performance limits broader appeal.
