You might want to look into Mikrotik's offering. They are not only |
2 |
inexpensive, but they are extremely reliable. Many Internet cafés in |
3 |
my country use Mikrotik: they put the device in an outdoor box, and |
4 |
stuck it on the pole bearing the wireless antennae connecting the café |
5 |
to the ISP. The boxes have endured untold days of heat and cold, and |
6 |
nearly all of them survived to this day (barring some who got hit |
7 |
directly by lightning). |

The documentation is widely available on the 'net, the CLI is much |
10 |
more intuitive than Cisco IOS, and their features are on a par with |
11 |
the most expensive IOS variant. |
