Re: [Config] New ISP, same router (Cisco 1711)Those are the same numbers from Cisco's site as well. I don't think anything from the other thread was helpful to me, unfortunately. » www.cisco.com/en/US/prod ··· #wp41226 |

Let's start with the basics, put it under heavy load and post the output of show proc cpu sorted | e 0.00%__0.00

Those numbers are well overstated. I was never able to get more than 6-7mbps on mine with CBAC and NAT enabled. The Cisco performance PDF has much more realistic numbers at 6.91Mbps for the 1711. |

I suppose, then, that I'm doing rather well getting 9.6Mbps out of it. I guess I'll just use my old Linksys. Any ideas for what to do with the Cisco? |

eBay it, get a bigger one.
3725/3745/1811/1841/2811 they can all chew a 40-50meg pipe. |

Hmm...I got this one for $60. I'm not sure how much bigger of a router I can afford, but I can look into it. I have some experience with the 2811s and 1841s, I used to load and troubleshoot configurations on 20-30 of them per day at a previous job. It turned out to not be as much of a learning experience as I hoped it would be  |

3725/3745/1811/1841/2811 are pretty much all too expensive for me right now, but maybe in a few months I can snap up a 2811.
Thanks for all the help, everyone. |

Get a 1811 if you can. It's cheaper and faster than the 2811. NAT + PPPoE + a few ACLs = ~70 Mbps with 60% CPU load. I have one at home, i don't talk trash  The CPU is a custom made Freescale (Motorola) SC8517 (MPC8500 family) clocked @ over 1GHz. Yes i cracked it open The 2811 is powered by a modest RM5261A RISC @350MHz. |

Anything else the 2811 can do that the 1811 cant? |

Voice |
|

Well i guess we messed up by going with the 2811 then because we dont even use it for voice. We only use the wic slots for t1's in only around 1/4 of our locations. I need to get a 1811 in house and start messing with it because i have a few sites with 15mb metro-e and the 2811 cant max it out full duplex |

What kind of services are you running on the 2811? I have one at work that can easily push 20Mbps and there's a lot going on inside that box besides routing. |

Can the 1811 do VPN? |
