Cisco 2911 vs Linksys EA4500 at home (Fiber)

[Michiel Beenen]

Hello all,

I have an interesting though maybe a strange question.

At home we have a business Fiber line with 100/100 connection, right now connected to a Cisco 2911 Router.

Problem with this one is that it doesnt give the cool neat config options you get on for example the new EA routers, nor does it support uPNP which sometimes is a real pain in the ass.

Now I was wondering if it would be an idea to use the EA4500 (which i have here aswell, though atm not in use) instead of the 2911.

Does someone have any good inside on if that is really a good decision? Or does the 2911 offer that much more power and speed that it would be unwise to use a EA4500 on Fiber?

Hope someone can tell me what to do.

Thank you,

Michiel
