| [Info] Recommended 1811 3rd party ram I want to upgrade my routers ram which has a smartnet contract, please point me to a ram vendor or site that sells cisco certified ram that won't void my contract.
Its crazy now they require 256mb minimum and 64 MB flash..
Woops i guess i need a 64 MB flash, please provide the same info for that too.
Again this is for the Cisco ISR 1811 W |

Again this is for the Cisco ISR 1811 W Do you have onsite service? If not then just buy whatever and if you need to send it in then you can just swap the other stuff back in. Cisco stuff is way overpriced, and even 3rd party can be rough some times. I used some ram out of an old laptop and a cheap sandisk 1gb flash card and it works great. |

| I'm positive its an onsite one. So will do. I understand the whole swap them out before the repair guy comes, however you can't fool the cisco tech when they get the techsupport info. EHEHE |

If it helps, I had a spare Kingston 512mb DDR333 SO-DIMM that was doing nothing.
Dropped it in the 1811, now I have 640mb of RAM. Sure the router will never use that capacity, but I had nothing better to use it for haha.
Cisco 1811 (MPC8500) processor (revision 0x400) with 589824K/65536K bytes of memory. |

EHEHE With the ram, there is no way they can tell any difference. Sure the large flash size is obvious but i really doubt they care. We have around 120 routers under smartnet mainly for IOS IPS updates, and we run kingston ram and anywhere from 512mb to 2gb sandisk flash. I would say i have opened at least ~20 to 30 tickets and i have never had any issues with them. |

| I have a pimped out 2811 with 768MB RAM and 512MB Flash, never had an issue with TAC, and the extra memory shows up in show tech-support as Kingston/Sandisk. I think they know that for SMBs, 2000$ for 512 DDR is a bit f*cked up, so i guess it only matters when disaster strikes (read fried router motherboard). |

I've been running the 1811 with the upgraded Kingston Ram for over 2 years now. My uptime is actually over 1 year... So yeah shouldn't have any issues. |

is the ram SO-DIMM or regular size, registerd or unbuffered? Single sided, looking at crucial.com |

Lol answered my own question, its SO-DIMM just opendd my router for the first time in like a few years. Looked like Spiderman / the Cryptkeeper had sex. Gross it was. So is it me or i only see 1 SO-DIMM socket is the base 128 MB ram integrated on the router board? |

Check this thread out...
»[H/W] Question about 1811.
Should have part numbers so you can figure out exactly what to buy... It was only 29$ back in the day when I got it... It's not special ram by any means.
And yes the 128mb is built on to the motherboard. |
