Cisco router software

Just seen my first cisco wireless router, a Cisco 850.
Is the software on all Cisco routers this rubbish?
The wireless set-up is java pages that take ages to load.
Everything's over-worded and over-complicated.
Has anyone from Cisco ever bothered to look at a Draytek ?
It's firmware is dated 2007. I'll update and see if the mighty Cisco fair any better.
Very, very disappointed.

The best way to set up Cisco Router is via hyperterminal and command lines.
These routers are designed for corporate environments and probably much more stable than a standard boxed router from the likes of draytek.
If you want a comparison, get a Linksys and compare that to a Draytek, then you're on the same page IMO.0 -

As the previous poster said, Cisco are for business & techies. That is why a qualified Cisco engineer gets paid a lot more than a home techy.0 -
What are you trying to do? if you let me know i will tell you the command lines needed.0

If you are using it for home wi-fi, it is overkill imo, as you need to know what you are doing beyond the simple web based interfaces on linksys, Belkin et.al0

Cisco requires some networking knowledge.0

the Cisco GUI which you use with a browser has issues with Java at the moment - The newer versions of Java are not compatible with the Cisco GUI program and can freeze - At our networking academy we had to try 3 or 4 different older versions of Java to get it to work - Even then not all the features would work (still Java problems)
It is much easier to do with hyper terminal (using putty can cause problems aswell).
Also make sure your router flash memory isn't full up as that can really slow down a cisco routerDon't try to teach a pig to sing - it wastes your time and annoys the pig0 -
Same as the guys above, if you have to use the java gui, you really shouldn't be using the router.Beer meter E[.\.......]F0
