The router arrived very quickly. It arrived nicely packed and I could tell it practically brand new and very well taken of. The router works very well. I had to reset the configuration but that was expected. I needed this router for a class that I am getting ready to attend. The only minor things was that there was no console cable with the router. (I have one, so no big deal there) Also, while the power adapter was enclosed, it was missing the power cord plugin to the wall. (Again, no big deal because I have one) I personally would have sent at least a printout of the current configuration to make it easy to enter the set password and change the password but again no obstacle because I was able to readily find the instructions on how to do so on the Cisco website. One other suggestion would be to have a different WIC card installed in the router, instead of the serial interface card, but I understand that the card installed is the default configuration for this router. Overall, I'm very satisfied.Read full review
The Cisco 1721 router is an excellent, cheap alternative to more expensive Cisco routers if you only need a VPN endpoint or a simple, secure and robust firewall. It can be upgraded to a very fast IPSEC VPN router for less than $100 for ram and the VPN module. Dont pay over $300 for the 1721 itself and no more than $100 for the ram and VPN module. Configuring the 1721 is the same as most other cisco routers using IOS as their is no web gui which may be a detractor to some but I find this method quicker.
Great router for anyone looking to get CCNA certified. With 2 WIC slots you can either go with 2 WIC 1T's for 2 total serial connections or 2 WIC 2T's for 4 total smart serial connections. I have about 3 other 1721's all upgraded to 128MB RAM running that latest IOS and I have yet to run into any walls using them to get my CCNA. This router is a great lab router.
This product is very afforable, its' cheap, and it comes with a decent amount of DRAM and flash. It is a great addition to your CCENT/CCNA/CCNP lab environment. The router boots up decently, just as good as my 2610xm and 2650xm's. The only different is it does only have an ethernet port and two spots for a WIC-1T or anything else you want to install. I highly recommend this product.
Cisco 1721 routers are the award winning small business routers that goes a long way with your investment. Versatile and robust for the users. It has firewall, intrusion protection, intrusion detection and a number of IP networking uses from the vast array IOS available from Cisco.
