First off, i am a cisco guy, i work with their products on a daily basis. Although does box here is pretty good for the monies worth. You can down load the latest SDM (GUI Management Software) and have this up and running (and pretty secured) in a matter of minutes.
For first time users, my advise...Read the manual, try out the SDM and read line for line what the SDM tells/asks you. don't go clicking on next next next as if it's a microsoft application. Take your time and follow the SDM and you will get the results that you desire.

Works great, tons of features and options. However, the Cisco 871 router isn't for everyone. You should have some experience working with Cisco's IOS software. Otherwise you may find yourself feeling a little frustrated.

Thank any god you like that Cisco eventually purchased Linksys. Linksys knows how to create a usuable interface. Cisco makes quality hardware... Marry the two and you should get a really great kid... the 871W is a solid WAP with some truly nice features... that's impossible to configure unless you have a freaking degree in Cisco. A drunk, blind, retarded monkey could have written a better Web interface for configuring the wireless side of things. I've never used such a worthless interface in my life. Pull out your console cable and save yourself the hassle.
