The 800 Series

The 800 Series

Cisco’s lowest price IOS-based routers are found in the 800 series. For remote access, these routers
offer ISDN BRI terminations and basic telephone service ports. Recall that ISDN BRI can be
used for two traditional analog services. As of this writing, the 800 series includes ADSL, Ethernet,
HDSL, ISDN, and serial terminations, as noted in the following list:
 Cisco 837 ADSL Broadband Router
 Cisco 836 ADSL over ISDN Broadband Router
 Cisco 831 Ethernet Broadband Router
 Cisco 828 G.SHDSL Router
 Cisco 827 ADSL Router
 Cisco 827H ADSL Router
 Cisco 827-4V ADSL Router
 Cisco 826 ADSL Router
 Cisco 813 ISDN Router
 Cisco 811 ISDN Router
 Cisco 806 Broadband Router
 Cisco 805 Serial Router
 Cisco 804 ISDN Router
 Cisco 803 ISDN Router
 Cisco 802 ISDN Router
 Cisco 801 ISDN Router
In addition, Cisco has released the SOHO (small office, home office) 7X and 9X platforms.
Their Linksys product line, recently acquired, is being offered as an independent series and is
not included in the 800 series, but these systems do compete in many instances.

NOTE:Please be careful with this statement: The 800 series is currently the lowest cost
IOS-based router. This does not make it the cheapest router mentioned. The
700 series is generally the lowest cost router.
