Cisco Leaves The Consumer Networking Market After Selling Linksys Brand To Belkin | TechCrunch

I'm both glad and sad to see this. Gives them a chance to focus where its important. I still have my 10 year old wrtg running ddwrt. Oh well. Discuss.

    Cisco Exits The Consumer Market As It Sells Linksys To Belkin


    Never really used Belkin products, wondering if it's the best move for them. Linksys should just go back to being its own brand name again IMO

    Although I am a CCNA I have never been a fan of the cisco/linksys routers, belkin is just crap. Asus, or Netgear for me. I had a D-Link once that was boss, but the second one I bought was crap.

    Yeah I agree that Belkin makes a shitty consumer router. The Linksys wrtg was an amazig router, i see lots of people still have them running SOHO 10 years+ later. I bought a Belkin for my place couple years ago and in under a year it stopped handing out dhcp, had random problems like unable to ping other nodes unless i rebooted it, unable to print to network printer for the same reason, reboot all the time. Finally replaced with Linksys/Cisco ... see how it goes.

    Good move for Cisco, focus on enterprse not consumer

    I amkind of liking the, NOW cheep cisco 871w SOHO routers, they are cheep enough now, to start modding them.

    they are much cheaper than if you just google them. I got mine for $75.00, Irun it directly behind a Comcast service modem. I set it up to do dhcp,nat,pat. It is directly connected to my sb6120 motorola. After I succeeded withthat I switched to a Cisco 2651xm right behind the Comcast dsl service Both the871w & 2651xm were faster than any DDwrt54g!
    so I go modem 2651xm, then I run the 2651xm to a 3550. After that I have setmultiple DDwrt54g's and also the 871w. I still buy version 8 wrt54g's and flashthem to DD

    I have much faster service with Comcast promo basic (un-Modded(stock/virgin) sb6120/2651xm) than what I have with Fios.
