Cisco 871 Ethernet Integrated Services Router with Ethernet WAN Port for use with ADSL or Cable mode

ASIN: B000A457IQ

Product Description

Cisco 870 Series of integrated services routers are fixed-configuration routers that support multiple types of DSL technologies, broadband cable, and Metro Ethernet connections in small offices. They provide the performance needed to run concurrent services, including firewall, intrusion prevention, and encryption for VPNs; optional 802.11b/g for WLAN networking; and quality of service (QoS) features for optimizing voice and video applications. In addition, the Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) Web-based configuration tool simplifies setup and deployment, and centralized management capabilities give network managers visibility and control of the network configurations at the remote site.

Avoid Tiger Direct.......2007-02-06

Router arrived defective from Tiger Direct. I asked to exchange the unit but customer service rep. (Nadeem Qamar) said "this is a discontinued item". This, despite the fact that Cisco still lists the product as being in production. Customer service rep. told me I could "upgrade" to Cisco 877 router instead, but 877 is incompatible with 871 and is a completely different router (ADSL instead of 10/100 base T). Customer service rep. then said I must return the unit within 15 days or I would not receive a refund. I explained to customer service rep. that we reconfigured our entire network and couldn't remove the router and needed a replacement first (the problem with the router was the flash memory wouldn't hold the configuration when the unit was powered off, so as long as the power was on everything was OK).

After explaining this situation to customer service rep. and suggesting that I needed more time to return the unit because now I needed to find another supplier (since Tiger Direct decided to discontinue the product), customer service rep. said "NO" and 15 days was it.

This was my first and last order from Tiger Direct.

Why?
- product was defective
- they were unwilling to help me through a problem situation that THEY created because they discontinued the product
- customer service rep. was poorly informed and gave out incorrect information -- suggested that 877 and 871 were compatible when they weren't.

Here's a recommendation -- buy your Cisco products from Continental Resources, Inc. -- competitive prices, good customer service and the reps are quite knowledgable.
