How much difference is there between the Cisco Valet 10 and the EA 2700? Thanks!

To me the big difference would be the lack of Gigabit LAN and 5Ghz Wifi on the Cisco Valet 10...

The EnGenius EAP300 is a much better device, but it costs more. In answer to your question, I have used the the EnGenius as a repeater with several different brands of wireless routers. To avoid frustration, turn off the WPS first as it comes from the factory with WPS turned on as an option. Out of 10 I have installed, I have only had 2 replaced by the company. A much better ratio than the Linksys repeater I had been using.

I own the 4069. One other difference is that the 4069 has a better response time of 6ms vs. 8ms in the 4071. I don't know what benefit that gives ya though. :)

The major difference between the two is in bluetooth capabilities of SPA525G2. If bluetooth is not one of your requirement, then you can save some money and go with 525G. Here is an article which describes the differences in more detail:http://ebookbrowsee.net/cisco-differences-between-spa-525g2-spa-525g-pdf-d222561309

The 2575 is older and as such it supports older features. I didn't like the eFax on the HP 7510 but I do like the printer. The HP 7520 solves my fax issue by supporting normal fax. This printer is wireless which for me is great because it allows all my devices to print to it including my iPhone. If you need Ethernet connection look elsewhere but you may be best upgrading your router

The updated are only for V2 of this piece of garbage. NO information from Cisco about all of the earlier models, which they appear to have dropped support for soon after selling them. The last firmware for the earlier versions is from 2009, and there is nothing on there site about any trouble with them... search the model, and you find the vast majority of users looking for some firmware fix. None available from Cisco, and none of the open source alternatives support this model. There are a few comments about going back to OLDER firmware, but Cisco does not have it available, and after much searching I have found only broken links. This thing has sucked up way too much time ion troubleshooting for what it cost.

I bought this almost 2 years ago, so I can't say what version is in stock. I ended up getting a refurbished Linksys/Cisco AE1000 300Mbps 802.11n Dual-Band Wireless LAN USB 2.0 Adapter w/Extension Cable (no longer available) but I believe the newer replacement is the Factory Refurbished Cisco Linksys AE2500 Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Adapter. I tried a number of different adapters and the Linksys was superior to all of them.

Martin, I purchased the Cisco SG200-26 a couple of months back. Personally, I did have to upgrade to the latest version of iOS Firmware. Firmware version 1.3.2.02 (Active Image). My SG200-20 shipped with 1.1.0.6 Boot version. This smart switch is only used for my home LAN and it is everything a Home/Small Business could possibly need. So download from Cisco the latest version for your switch and you will be happy.

Under the Wireless/Security tab there are different types available: TKIP, AES, or TKIP + AES. Huh? Well, I did some research and found out that AES is best, with almost no "overhead" (faster signal) -- BUT only works with "N". If you have older B and G devices, they need TKIP. So... use TKIP + AES for the best of both worlds. However, if you only have N devices and are sure you will NEVER have a B or G device connect (friends? relatives?), then just choose AES. I originally had TKIP only, but that's because I didn't know any better. Now I have TKIP + AES, since I have two N Androids but my wife sometimes brings home her older work laptop.

I can't be 100% sure about the 2 different models, I do run the ENS500EXT units in WDS and they communicate just fine. Make sure firmware on both units is up to date. Both set to N-mode, both set to the same channel width, both set manually to the same channel. Running wireless N mode mandates WPA2-AES encryption, so make sure both are set up that way and have the same access code. Running WDS requires static IP's be set on both units, and each units MAC address be registered in the setup for all units in WDS affiliation with them. Clients connecting to the WDS nodes require static IP or a separate router to operate as a DHCP server for them. I am just thinking off of the top of my head, I do have set up WDS configurations, but mainly use these units as AP's, or point-to-point bridges. Maybe someone else here can comment further, I know from trying to contact Engenius customer support in the past, their support staff is essentially non-existent. Good Luck.

No, sorry. I'm so happy with the performance so far that I haven't yet entertained the idea. I'd stick with Cisco-Linksys. My brother got the E-1200 a couple of months ago and he's happy.

Yikes - to be honest, I'm not sure. The router I have came with my AT&T; U-verse/Internet package so I'm not even sure what type of router I have. The valet has worked very well so far though. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I found it to be exactly the same. The only difference being the gigabit WAN support. Old one would top out at ~70 and this one easily handles our 100/20

Hey Jose, My recommendation would be to buy the AIR-CT2504-15-K9. This has the licenses already. You can upgrade the 5 to more licenses. But Cisco charges you an arm and a leg for that. Mike from AndoverCG

My understanding is that the 4210 is the same basic unit as the 4212. Where the difference lies is in which interchangeable templates are supplied with the unit. The 4210 comes with only the half blind template, the 4212 with half blind and through templates and the 4214? With half blind, through and mini through templates. Obviously relevant router bits and router inserts are supplied for each template as well.I'd note that it is cheaper to simply buy the unit which contains the templates that you require as opposed to buying them afterwards. In my case I was forced into the latter due to the fact that Amazon would only ship the 4212 but not the higher model to my location.

I use the CD to set up the Cisco Linksys E2500 and it has worked flawlessly with my iPad with Retina display, two iPhones with the latest IOS, a pc with Vista, and a pc with Windows 8.I used the CD to set up another Cisco Linksys E2500 for my wife's sister and it worked fine except the Ethernet cable that came with it was bad. I used another one and everything worked fine. I have not tried and iPad Air with it, but uses the same IOS as the iPad Retina, so I can't imagine why it wouldn't.

I'm not familiar with the 881 product specifically, but it, and older Keyspan models, have worked fine for every other Cisco router or switch that I have worked with over the last 20 years. I've also used it with Adtran and other products using serial connections.
