Linksys is a subsiddery of cisco. Linksys is the name that cisco put on their residential or retail devices where as on their commercial devices they put the cisco name. They also don't give Linksys devices the same level of configuration as cisco devices are given.
However some Linksys devices it is possible to wipe the firmware and install surtain versions of other linux based control os to up grade the systems. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Howell Sent: Tuesday, 5 October 2010 5:22 a.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: #ot configuring network settings with D-Link Extreme? Really, that is interesting. I have an old Linksys I keep here as a backup and it served me well until I switched to Apple routers. Cisco must have sold off or farmed out development for their routers lately. DLink was not the recommended router a few years ago. Funny how manufacturers swap places in the rankings from time to time.
