Good Value and Ease of Deployment
We use Cisco 831, 881, and 881w routers for small single computer sites. The 800 series used in Network Extension mode makes a great small office solution. enough ports for a PC, a printer and an IP Phone. The 800 series securely connect to our Cisco ASA headend by VPN over any internet transport available at the location.
We use the 800 series across all departments for any site location where we need a very small office.
The 800 series/ ASA combination makes locations financial feasible where where private lines would be much too expensive for the use case.

- Connects local site to VPN headend
- Securely adds a network subnet in remote locations
- The security available in an inexpensive package makes these units a great value.
- Programming can be complicated for new users
- An easier VPN setup would be a good value add to this product
- PoE for IP Phones requires an add-on daughter card
- The daughter card add expense and requires that the 800 series unit be opened to install card

My sysadmins love Cisco Catalyst IR1800 Rugged Series Routers - I am 100% happy with it as well!
That was a hard decision what unit to choose as we had a lot of good products with +/- the same characteristics. But I chose the Cisco Catalyst IR1800 rugged series router because it is quiet, in difference to others it seemed simpler to implement to our office building. Any problems with its operations, it works really great like the sales manager promised. I can only advise this item as my team is happy to make our job without thoughts about routers.
- The most important for my organisation - safety. Cisco Catalyst IR1800 router is great when we talk about safety.
- My sysadmin sais this router has a wide flexibility.
- When we thought about the location for router, we had indoor and outdoor variants. Both are possible for Cisco Catalyst IR1800 Rugged Series Routers but we chose the indoor location.
- The price but to say truth, it worth it for 100% as the quality is the highest.

Stable connections anywhere, anytime.
While sampling the routers we picked the Cisco Catalyst IR1800 series, 1835 to be specific mostly because of their flexibility; the router supports wi-fi 6 and the recently incorporated 5G network. Our organization takes part in developing solutions for the geospatial engineering community. To accomplish this we needed routers that are simple to install and can accommodate constant mobility and that's why we took the Cisco 1800 on board.
- Partakes minimal disruptions under mobility while in use by technicians.
- Has high bandwidths
- The routers are secure from multiple network attacks.
- The routers' functionality under private LTE networks was quite largish at first, but they adapted to solve this with time

Advanced routers with fast connectivity
We have recently deployed Cisco Catalyst IR1800 Rugged series in my department's network. We use these flexible 5G modular routers to support our private LTE, Wi-Fi6 and our consolidated threat detection for deployments. We also use them to increase security within our network and accelerate our connectivity. They have advanced the network stability in our organization enhancing solidity in productivity.
- Modular design that effectively support businesses of whichever size.
- compatibility with the most recent Wi-Fi technology.
- Support for Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN making it very scalable.
- We had to engage the cisco team for installation since the process is very complex.

Cisco800
The Cisco Router Series 800 is used in all locations classified as small and medium, a total of 76 locations, providing end-to-end communication through DMVPN. We use ZPFW for security reasons too. The same router is also used for local internet output, making web access faster and more efficient. In the security layer we use the ZBFW solution. This router can be easily deployed due to its low cost and easy configuration.

To connect or not to connect
They are critical in connecting our 100 WAN sites and edge connectivity.
- Once they are configured you can basically forget them until your (NMS) network management systems notify you of an issue
- Simple EIGRP configuration
- Super cost effective
- Most are single power supply
- If they aren't a full 19" 1U device you have to purchase rack ears separately from the device
- VPN tunneling can be a bit of a configuration challenge
