<p dir="ltr">I've had good luck with similar models in the past but FULLY agree that they play the "name game" to sell products. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Still a great router for 20 bucks for all it does. Not sure about that page but these have 3 year warranty on box & reg. Would be NICE if there was tomato or DDWRT for them.</p>

Yes, they're very tricky about rebranding Linksys junk with a SOHO or SMB/SME label, then selling it to people who trust the Cisco name. <div><br></div><div>From the "<span style="color:rgb(102,102,102);font-size:11px;line-height:14px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Simple, browser-based configuration" </span>feature listing, 1 year warranty, and complete lack of failure rate stats in the datasheet (<a href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps9923/ps9928/data_sheet_c78-496735.html" target="_blank">http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps9923/ps9928/data_sheet_c78-496735.html</a>), I'd say it's definitely rebranded Linksys, not well-engineered Cisco stuff. </div>

<p dir="ltr">Cisco bought Linksys and I know their products & packaging often contain both names. </p>
<p dir="ltr">These are Cisco Small Business products. The packaging is all Cisco as is the documentation and the routers are stamped CISCO across the top. Just snapped a quick pic.</p>
