ISR 891 for 50 Mbps x 50 Mbps Fiber circuit

[Bob De Mars]

I have a ISR 891 (no-wifi) router that I have been using on a 20Mbps x 20Mbps fiber circuit.  It was been performing just fine.  I am upgrading the curcuit to 50Mbps x 50Mbps soon, and I wanted to check if this router can handle that much load.

I don't do anything fancy with the router, just plain old routing (I have a firewall behind it).

Do you think the 891 can handle 50Mbps up/down, and if not what would you recommend for this new setup of 50x50Mbps.

Thansk!

2921 would be sufficient.

Thanks for the advice!  I'm a little sad the 891 will not be able to handle it.

Not to necessarily disagree with Leo or what Cisco says, but before shelling out the money for a new router, try the 891 on the new circuit. You might be surprised.
