Question for other technical pros: Did Linksys drop their so called "business router" lines like the RV*** models and such? I looked on their website and I don't see them anymore. I looked for some press releases but didn't find any immediately. If they did, I find it an interesting move on Cisco's part. Assume that I already did an Internet search.

Not according to this they didn't! http://www.linksysworks.com/wireles... Change Is Good http://www.citizenlink.org/Stopligh...

I'm not familiar with the Linksys business class product line, but if they're reducing or dropping it, that IMO would be a smart direction. They're probably heading towards keeping the Linksys brand for their consumer grade products and the Cisco brand for the business class.

lurkswithin, thanks for the effort, but that link is to a reseller and they might have been selling old stock. But as it turns out (after some investigating), the business line got moved to Cisco's website where they're being sold through Cisco instead of Linksys. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products... Still an interesting move on their part. I worked a lot in the field with Linksys routers around the time that they were bought by Cisco, and I noticed a distinct drop in quality control after the buyout when we started getting more bad routers out of the box. I thought it might have been an effort by Cisco just to drive the line into the ground and to get SMB customers back into their overpriced routers and switches. But I think Cisco eventually got the idea people weren't going to flock to Cisco PIX and 2600 routers just because the Linksys's weren't going to work for customers anymore. (Instead, they would have just gone over to Netgear, Belkin, and DLink who would have happily been obliged to fill the vaccum if it went defunct.) But now that the Linksys "business" lines are over at Cisco, that raises a higher expectation on quality control and a failing in that area might reflect more heavily on Cisco products direclty, including the Cisco expensive models. Assume that I already did an Internet search.

sorry I thought that was all linksys store products. Didn't realize that it was a reseller. But Anyway I heard that they were still being built and sold. Also I agree with your reasoning there as well. Change Is Good http://www.citizenlink.org/Stopligh...
