Thanks dude! Actually I think my boss was talking to me about that router last week for another reason, I think he likes it. Though it doesn't have wifi so I'd have to get WAP as well or I guess I could just turn the old router into a WAP, that'd make more sense.

yeah you could use the old router as WAP, that should work just fine. Glad I could help, let me know how it works out!

I'm sure you ventured with Cisco brand before. Cisco as a SMB router is a hit or miss; customer support is not existent. I fought many wars with them.

ever heard of these?

And you can always get a cheap ass wifi router and connect it to your LAN port and set it up with a static ip, and it will work flawlessly.

Cisco just because it has better forum support. I'd actually go there now and read all the existing issues, so you wouldn't have surprises later.

You can try the other ones, you can always return them. I like Cisco's GUI.
