in CCNA & CCENT
I know there are a bunch of threads about this, so I apologize in advanced.
I'm in the process of buying gear for a home lab. I will say I plan on going beyond the CCNA down the road.
With that said would it be to my advantage to buy 3 X 1841's or 3 X 2621's?
What would be the differences between both?
Thanks in advance.

Think of the 2:00 a.m. test—if you were awakened in the
middle of the night because of a network problem and had to figure out the
traffic flows in your network while you were half asleep, could you do it? -

The 1841's would be better from my point of view. Seeing that the topics for the NP/IE can be used. So you'll have them for some time.
Currently made a thread myself. Good luck on the purchases. 1841's are more expensive from what I saw.

I use 1841's in my rack, and that link above is an absolute steal. I would highly recommend jumping on that STAT and of course get you WIC-2T's for the fourModularity and Design Simplicity:

I think you might have some competition on your hands.
Just kidding. I can't afford that now. I need a new motorcycle helmet! And I already spent what funds I had on 3 x 3550 switches.
