Hello, everyone. You might have read my earlier discussion about whether a Cisco 2811 can connect with a regular modem. Now I’ve decided it’s too complicated to set up, so I’m revisiting the first router I saw today—a Cisco 860VAE series. Because it has a dedicated WAN port, I thought it wouldn’t need the same configuration as the 2811. Is that accurate? Can it work with standard modems? We don’t use DSL, so feel free to ask if you’re curious.

You still have to configure it like the 2811, this is all enterprise gear and most of the non small-business stuff doesn't really have a GUI and if it does you have to use the CLI to configure it first.

It remains necessary to set it up properly. Following @Lurick’s advice, this device is built for business environments and IT teams can tailor its settings to match the company’s requirements. If you’re open to studying Cisco IOS—its learning curve is manageable—it offers impressive capabilities as a router.

Older Cisco gear relies on ASDM. Uncertain about downloading it without a current subscription, perhaps?

This setting applies to ASA configurations, not router settings.

Really? I assumed Router was included too. For this: turn on the password, set the IP, enable HTTP authentication, and add the subnet. Once inside the GUI at http://routerIP, you can apply changes permanently using copy run start.

I’m hoping you’re prepared to create your own firewall from the ground up. I’d like to check if there are any well-protected configurations available online.
