Cisco 850 Series routers are targeted at small offices, recommended for up to 10 users or teleworker sites
where only secure and affordable access is needed. Cisco 850 Series routers offer:
●
Secure connectivity with Stateful Inspection Firewall and IPsec VPN support for small offices
●
4-port 10/100 switch
●
Basic quality of service (QoS)
●
Secure WLAN 802.11b/g option with a single fixed antenna

Due to the lack of advanced security and QoS features, the 850 series is not supported for voice deployments.
Q. How do Cisco 870 Series routers compare with Cisco 830 Series routers?
A. Major additions that differentiate the Cisco 870 Series include improved performance for both clear text and
IPsec, integrated 802.11b/g wireless capabilities, and VLAN support. Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports have also

phones or external wireless access points is available. Most features found in the Cisco 830 Series are available
in the Cisco 870 Series, making it easy for customers to migrate.
Q. How do Cisco 850 Series routers compare with Cisco SOHO 90 Series routers?
A. The Cisco 850 Series improves performance and adds an option for integrated 802.11b/g WLANs. Most
features found in the Cisco SOHO 90 Series will be found in the Cisco 850 Series, for easy migration.
