Cisco Home Office Wireless Router

Excellent router that covers my whole home and all my wireless products.

Fast Router. Feels like a quality made product, more like an industrial or enterprise product feel. I have my SB8200 cable modem on eth0, home office on eth1, and Linksys mesh network on eth2. It took me about 30 mins to setup being new to this type of router. Used basic wizard to setup. Made sure NAT was enabled. Firewall is enabled. I had to reset cable modem to get things going. I used various videos on you tube for setup help. Router CPU and RAM barely get used during testing of several 4K Video Streams, ip phone calls, file transfers, and speed tests running at the same time. My COX gigablast connection runs at full speed most of the time. I still need to do some real throughput testing, machine to machine on local network. I use Airflow and VLC to cast 4K content from home office to my living room entertainment center. I definitely noticed a time difference. It simply takes less time for actions to engage and finish. I can tell it has a better brain. Time will tell with reliability but I suspect it will be my router for a long time. So far, I'm happy with its performance.

I bought this AP and a related router to replace an aging consumer grade wireless router which I had. Setting up this AP was a breeze and I'd recommend this to anyone wishing to implement or extend a wireless network in their home or small office. The thing to keep in mind is that this is intended to be mounted on a wall or preferably a ceiling. The router only requires a network cable and you use the included power injector to power the unit. This AP will require some other device to route the traffic from your web provider. Configuration is easy with the Unify controller software installed on your pc. Wait for the AP to power on, load the software on your pc (on the same wired network), and let it look for and provision the AP. You can configure a single combined SSID for 2.4 and 5ghz or separate and configure a guest network if so desired. Once configured, the AP has been running without issue solidly for a few weeks now. I have my PoE injector in my office and plugged into my UPS along with my modem, router, and switch. If the power goes out, all of the wireless and internet access will stay up. Be sure to test all your ethernet cables prior to installing everything. I had multiple issues with the cables I was going to use initially. One cable would only allow a max 100 connection, the other would allow gigabit, but the rj45 connector was able to pull back just enough while connected to cause an intermittent connection. Swapping to higher quality cables solved these issues. I have a 3800 sq ft house in an L shape. This AP is on the second floor in the center of the house. This works well for coverage everywhere and I've even seen coverage in areas where I had little to none previously. I've got it mounted in the ceiling of a hallway next to a smoke detector. It doesn't look too out of place except for the blue glow (which can be turned off). I'd recommend this to anyone that has basic networking and computer knowledge looking for a solid access point.

my home office was at far end of the house from the cable router - no issues now. Love the extra ethernet ports on the satellite.

Set up in my home office to protect and power 2 computers, router, and cable modem. Easy set-up, software works perfectly including automatically shutting computer system down in a power failure. Unit is very compact with a good display. Highly recommended

The switch has one port for connecting up a level to a server, a router, a modem to the internet, or even another switch. Then it has 4 more ports for adding a subset of devices to your home ethernet that will communicate with each other at 1Gb. For instance, I connected my computer, a NAS storage device, and an Epson printer to the switch in my office. I then connected this switch's uplink port to a second switch in my wife's office. In that room, the second switch's uplink port is connected to our AT&T modem/router, and to my wife's computer on the same subnet as the switch in my office. All connections, except the one to our slow AT&T moden/router, were made with Cat 6 ethernet cable. With this configuration, my home network works at 1Gbit between devices, which is nice for using the NAS storage for backing up either computer, sending large photographs to the printer, and for playing the iTunes music stored on the NAS. No re-configuring of the network was required. I simply plugged the switches in as described, replaced the Cat 5 cables, and it just works!

The AC1900 cable Modem/Router is an excellent product for our home and office users. It offers very high performance and reliability throughout my house. The signal is excellent and consistent. Thanks for this great product.

Home, school, home office :) ...

My old Cisco stopped and had to get a new one. Just bought a new Night Hawk router a few months ago. This new modem is really fast and pairs up very easily

I bought this router with my neighbor's recommendation (he is a certified Cisco Networking Professional). It is very configurable. It has apps that you can download such as for home network security and child protection. I would definitely recommend this product.
