To reiterate my main point, im looking for a decent introductory cisco router (will worry about switch later since this topic has mainly focused on router) that would enable me to support sub 40 users wan traffic for LAN's. All the game servers would be running off the lan, so the router would just support internet traffic, downloading, and the possible user that connects to outside game server.

My current router (netgear FVS328) seemed to choke up a few times at our last lan. I had 20 users on lan, setup at a hotel on a t1 1.5/768, that when not playing were surfing, connecting to teamspeak servers, downloading files and playing other games on wan servers.

I wonder how my netgear FVS328 compares the Cisco 831 or 837?? That might give me a better understanding.

Thanks....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cisco-Router-and-Switch-11064776 Mon, 16 Aug 2004 07:32:54 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Hows-your-WAN-traffic-characteristics-11049735
Anyway by seeing your condition, the 831 should be more than enough for you. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Hows-your-WAN-traffic-characteristics-11049735 Sat, 14 Aug 2004 10:08:02 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cisco-Router-and-Switch-11049187 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cisco-Router-and-Switch-11049187 Sat, 14 Aug 2004 07:43:24 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Get-them-in-a-bundle-11040657 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Get-them-in-a-bundle-11040657 Fri, 13 Aug 2004 10:21:57 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Get-them-in-a-bundle-11040418
You should buy the contract together with the router. This way you don't have to wait till disaster comes to buy the contract ... :)

I would like to become more familiar with cisco's equipment and interface. I want to purchase either new or preferably used cisco router. I want something I could use for my home on my current DSL line, as well as be able to use for LAN party's with WAN access, as well as a switch that could support 48 users at a LAN EVENT. Im not too familiar with cisco products, and i hoped this would be a good place to get started.

I've been hosting small lans with ~15 users with my Netgear FVS328 router and FS526T 24-port Smart Switch with 2 Gigabit Ports up till now.

Do you have a fair bit of cash kicking around? You can always hit fleabay; but I don't trust much that comes off there. You may be better off using a cisco IOS simulator so you can configure a router etc in a "lab" environment without buying the equipment.
