Getting 2811 router latest firmware

[markberry666]

I need to get the latest firmware for a 2811 router but I am unable to download it. Can someone advise the best way to get hold of this can I just contact a local Cisco reseller n Monday or is it more complicated than that?

It is slightly more complicated than just contacting a reseller and requesting software. To get the software you need a maintenance contract. The reseller may be able to sell you a maintenance contract. And once that is in place you need to get your Cisco ID associated with the contract. Then you can download the software.

As of today, no new maintenance contracts can be bought for ISR G1 routers.

In any case the best approach for anything related to Cisco, is to always work with a reputable consultant, or certified Cisco partner.
