Re: [H/W] Home Setup - 50MB Cable Connection Should also mention another contender for "packet-pushing eBay Cisco" is the
37xx series routers.
@tibook
Two disadvantages of the ASA I've found:
1) know what you need versus each licence level gets you. For home use, Base
should be enough, but if you want to get fanci(er) -- ie. more VLANs, bigger
DHCP pool, stateful failover -- look for an Unlimited / SecPlus licence.
2) ASA cmd set != IOS cmd set, so be prepared for a steep learning curve.
Cisco and the internet will be your close companions while you work your way
thru this.
Get routerperformance.pdf from Cisco and use it as a starting point of what
kind of performance you want. I've found the numbers for the older stuff
like the 16xx / 17xx / 26xx are generally pretty accurate, though the numbers
for the 18xx and lower-end 28xx series are alittle questionable given the
results people have gathered here from production environments.
@ImranUK
Are you looking for a Cisco AP specifically or any wireless router?
@kamikatze
You wouldn't happen to have any performance graphs of what this 1811 is doing
on your 100Mbit line would you? Just for posterity's sake 
You also wouldn't happened to have put an ASA thru your (in)famous "will it
blend" test like the 1811 to see what it could do for raw and crypto thruput
recently?

i usually tell people who are migrating from routers to asa devices - take everything you learned for a router and do it exactly opposite for an asa. wildcards are subnets, subnets are wildcards, order of operations is different and everything is nat'ed (even when its under a nat0 exemption).
keep that in mind and you'll be fine
