in CCNA & CCENT
Saw a couple used but pretty decent 2821 routers for 70-90 bucks on ebay. The price is very tempting, plus i'll be buying a 48 port switch with 2 Gig ports. Thought I'd add these to my current lab. I like that this router has security features that my current routers are lacking.
Also, does the 16 port FE module allow you to connect a gig router to a FE router or is that module just for switching ports?

I wanna get any type router that runs ios 15, for ipV6. Not sure what's the going rate for a somewhat inexpensive one. Must have WIC (preferably DB60 types) and Ethernet capability.Cisco NetAcad Cuyamaca College

If you have a CCO account... the CSR 1000v iso is free. I would consider that pretty good value for the money. It runs the latest code from IOS XE.
