Cisco 871W Router
I have now been using the 871W router for several months. I picked one up to do lab work for IPv6, routing and the VMware hands on class I have been doing for Pacific IT Professionals.
I am VERY impressed with these routers. I can run EIGRP, RIPv2, OSPF, BGP, IPv6, OSPFv3, 6to4, DMVPN, CBAC and wireless all on one device. I am amazed at the diversity of what the product can do and how quiet it is since it has no internal fan. I think it really is the perfect remote home office router. If they made it POE by default it would be a perfect product, IMHO.
Just wanted to give my thumbs up for this great router!

Hi Ed, great summary of 871W. Do you know if the router itself can be powered by PoE? I know that I can buy 4-port PoE adapter for powering other IP phones/Aironets, but I am in a need to power the router itself via PoE (if it is even possible). Thanks for any input on this.
