Cisco 871 Simple Config. Introduction I've used IPCop for ages.
It rocks, but runs on a PC and so takes up space and uses a fair whack of power, and needs a seperate LAN hub and wireless AP. I use Cisco hardware at work, and I had the chance of a 871W to use. I use Virgin Media, so have one DHCP-issued IP address, and I wanted a simple config with a LAN with DHCP and a WPA-PSK wireless LAN- basically what a cheapy Netgear-type item will do. Actually working this all out took a while, so I'm posting the config here for others to use. Configure Cisco 851w 871w as a Standalone Access Point - 808 Tech Blog. Why is BVI needed with 871W wireless VLANS?
