This book is everything that it claims to be and more. It is a really good introduction to Cisco Routers and a good exam guide for the CCNA 640-407 exam. It covers the topics remarkably well in a language that is easy to  understand. The best part of the book is the large number of practise  questions at the end of each chapter that work successfully to drill the  material covered in the chapter in your head. This book goes a long way in  making me a CCNA. Buying this book should be your first and biggest step  towards pursuing a CCNA.

it is an excellent book for your preparation for the CCNA.it is also very useful for the memorizing the commands that most used in the router confiruation in your job.

These switches are great.  So easy to setup and you don't have to take an engineering course to do what you want to do with it such as VLANs, routing, etc.

The interface could be improved as the javascript can sometimes be hit and miss but command terminal is always rock solid.

This product rocks! I received it not too long ago and I am using it in conjunction with training for not only my Network+ but also my CCNA. It really help you step by step through all the information a budding Network Engineer will need to it the ground running. Great job!

Great router and easy to setup/install. Works well on a DMZ with existing Cisco ASA and Switching devices. No issues with my AT&T Fiber ISP at the home.

I would recommend this product to somebody wishing to expand their network, and who also had a good electrical setup in their home. It is not the easiest to setup, it takes a while to figure out what it needs. The manual is less than toilet paper and the writer should consider switching careers. It is not well written and it misses crucial information, like the username and password for the web setup utility (which I still don't know).

Purchase this only if you have:
a) Patience like someone who wants to be a saint
b) CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) level networking experience
c) A small house, because you might have to do some serious walking back and forth between the 2 devices until the setup is complete.

If you manage to set it up, then the performance is very very good.

Hardware: 100 points
Manual: 5 points (because it exists)
Setup: 85 points

This book HAS ALL ACTUAL PLATFORM config and review of how to implement QoS from Modern G2 ISR up to SUP2T for Catalyst 6500/6800 series, and most impresive thing is the book covers nexus switches too!!

you MUST HAD and READ if you'll plan a CCIE or your work is beeing a network admin with a whole different platforms and equipment from cisco.

Excellent Book!

I was surprised by the quality of this book.  I had read many book on Cisco routers while pursuing my CCNP.  When I started on my CCIE I read a few books and then finally bought this one.  This book was definately on track. The book is written in an easy to understand style that makes it a great learning tool.

This thing is a routing monster! I use it with Charter in case anyone cares. It automatically switches bands too, what ever that means. Lol

I had real problems with my Cisco router. I ead the revies of this router and decided to buy it. After having some diffuculty getting it working. I spent a couplke of hours with user support. My internet company uses a fixed IP and we had to work through it. The support was patient and we finbally got the router set up. It has worked great ever since. I am quite impressed at its functioning at about a 1/4 of what I paid for the Cisco.

Everything I expected, simulator is great. I'm a new network+ student and we use cisco routers and switches in class and the simulator CLI is just like the real thing,  we use 1800 series routers and 2960switches. Very happy with purchase.

I tried to use the Cisco software to configure it using my windows 7 laptop, however all the time the initial configuration setup finished in an error. Then, i proceeded to configure it manually, which I did it with no problems.

Once I configured it, the router performance was exceptional. I configured also a guest wifi network which performed ver y well.

Very Pleased with this switch, This is a very good Alternative if a Cisco Catalyst switch is not needed in a deployment.

I purchased this unit 6 months ago for my home network. I am using it with a Cisco 26XX router to provide routing between several VLANs, each on its on SSID. It has worked very well, and unlike several of the cheaper units, I have not had it freeze up, not even once.
I did not have any significant difficulty configuring it, though because of the complexity of my set up, my expectations were fairly low.

Very good and reliable wired home router with VPN. Easy to set up and configure. Single port forwarding would cause the router to hang. Hard to believe that Cisco would let this stand. Hope they fix in future firmware release. In the meantime, the workaround is to use range port forwarding with the same port in the start end port fields.

Good cli interface although requires a bit of learning curve coming straight from Cisco.  Lifetime warranty is unbeatable.
