Router Suggestions

I am posting this here and not in the CCNA Sec sub-forum because of activity level.

I am preping for the CCNA Sec exam and I will need to get used to the CCP. I know about the features of it and the various things you can do inside of it but I need a router I can practice on. It doesn't need to have a ton of ports. Looking to spend about $100 - $150 on it.

Any and all suggestions welcome.

    I used GNS3 for CCP and ASDM when I studied for CCNA Sec.

    The 1841 or 881 should be good options.
    The 1841 has 2 HWIC Slots and will run IOS 15.1
    The 881 has no HWIC Slots, but has a Built-in 4-Port Switch and will run IOS 15.4

    The 1841 is an excellent option which will go through to the CCNP and CCIE.

    I really like my 1841's, easy to upgrade memory and IOS, and not expensive, often times you can find them very reasonable with the optional WIC cards already installed and they are very easy to upgrade the CF cards, you don't have to use Cisco branded cards, I am running 512K sandisk cards in all of mine.
