<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have sites that are NBN FTTN (last mile VDSL2) which are being upgraded to FTTP starting later this month.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently we run Cisco 1900 series routers into firewalls, switches, etc for small sites with 5-15 staff and that has worked well for many years.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our smallest FTTP site will be 140 / 40MBps with larger sites 200MBps+ hence I was thinking it’s time to upgrade / replace the 1900 units.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some of them are in support, however I’m not really bothered as we have plenty of spares and this is a good opportunity to make improvements whilst we’re doing site visits.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A few sites have 4G / 5G backup via separate router which can remain as is or integrated with new hardware if possible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We do have some Ubiquiti devices around which work well, happy to consider those and any other suggestions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy to hear recommendations off or on list if the information can benefit someone else here.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers<o:p></o:p></p>
