Cisco CISCO1921-SEC/K9 1921 Series Router

I purchased a Cisco 1921 Security Licensed ISR 2nd Gen for my home office environment. Wow this thing can run circles around anything I throw at it and more. If you are looking for the absolute best for your home office, small office, or corporate branch office this router is amazing. You will pay for it. I wont lie but when you pay for Cisco you also pay for peace of mind knowing that they are insanely tested, quality assured, and guaranteed to work no matter what. Yeah Cisco certainly isn't the end game for everyone else there are better products offered by the likes of Juniper, Brocade, etc... but for the price to performance ratio of this router its amazing. Also do not be afraid to shell out for the model with the IOS Zone firewall license activated i.e. /SEC-K9. IOS zone has improved vastly over the last few years and is almost neck to neck with the much coveted and highly regarded ASA security devices. ASA is a little bit more in depth in certain areas however Zone Firewall can certainly keep up with it in almost all penetration test one can throw at them.At any rate if you are in it to win it for your home or small business this is the router to have if you are looking for Cisco.p.s. I also purchased the 8 port Gig Switch EHWIC (non POE- as I do not need it) for my router. I cant wait to get that switch up and running.

I've been a user of Cisco router equipment for quite some time. Ranging from the 1721 to the 3945. I wanted to finally get a cisco router for my home. It fit right in and had it running in minutes. If you do not have CCP, you have to do it all CLI, which I recommend. CCP is pretty and all, but i like to do it all CLI as you can get more info on how the router is performing.-----WARNING FOR THE BUYER----- The price is great and Cisco hardware is usually 97% always rock solid. If you do not buy your equipment from an authorized reseller, Cisco will not warranty your device. When equipment is purchased, the IOS license is licensed to the ORIGINAL BUYER ONLY. If someone buys some surplus equipment, or they buy it and decide to go with something else, that license is essentially stuck to who bought it first. As it so happens, my 1921 is registered to a major telecom company of China. Its rare that you will need assistance or warranty, but just be warned. As a lighter side to my warning, I still have a few 1721s and 1760s in operation today.

It was not factory reset when I received it. After spending several hours configuring it I discovered that it did not have the Security Bundle as listing stated.

Would have given it 5 stars, but it refused to recognize or configure a T1 wic. Cisco can do better than this.

This product was in very good condition, worked out of the box and I would buy from them again. Their pricing is very good.

very good
