Select router for pppoe and double WAN

[WojciechGaudnik]

Hi,

I'm looking for a budget router that gives me two wan load balancing (one wan will be backup), and pppoe. I found Router Cisco RV325, but I'm wondering if there is something new, better for home network? This router will be only for isp, I will buy another fast one only for communication between home equipment.

Hello @WojciechGaudnik ,

you can look at a Cisco C1111-8P which has 2 WAN GigabitEthernet ports and 8 port GigabitEthernet switched ports. It can accommodate 2 ISP connections and a switched lan for up to 8 hosts. I looked on eBay and used is roughly the same price as the RV325 but with much more potential.

More info in the following document: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/1000-series-integrated-services-routers-isr/datasheet-c78-739512.html#Cisco111xISRsFlexibleWANandLANconnectivity

Hope this helps.

RV is good product for the home use with Wireless.

@liviu.gheorghe also suggested other Cisco router - check you may need License if you have more throughput required (if the default not meet the requirement).

considering Meraki Dual WAN for home too MX product works cheaper.
