Draytek 2110 & 2710 series now up and the return of the 2700 series

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

The long awaited 2110 series and 2710 series pricing has now been announced but most models won’t be available until late Feb/Early March at this stage. Some models are available now but only in limited quantities.

(Bear in mind, at the time of writing, images and online specs hadn’t been published on Draytek’s website so I’m making a few “educated assumptions” based on the 2710 series).

Also, Draytek Australia recognised a demand for a low cost Draytek product and have managed to have the 2700 series re-released. I have put these online again now but due to Chinese New Year celebrations some items will be delayed for several weeks yet.

Cisco & Linksys rebranding

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

As part of the takeover of Linksys by Cisco way back in 2003 there’s recently been some changes to the Linksys product range. These include a brand new website for the Linksys consumer class products (now under the banner “Linksys by Cisco”) while the Business class products have now moved over to the Cisco website under the Cisco name.

So we now have three distinct divisions:

1. Linksys by Cisco consumer products. Found at http://www.linksysbycisco.com/ANZ/en/home, or at my online shop at http://www.shop.ozcableguy.com/brand.asp?Brand=Linksys
or with pictures at http://shop.ozcableguy.com/search.asp?Brand=Linksys.

2. Cisco Small Business and Small Business Pro products. This group includes the old Linksys business class products which will still show the Linksys logo on the product and packaging for some time yet, and many may never change. These products can now be found at http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/solutions/small_business/products/index.html, or under the Cisco brand name at my online shop.

3. Cisco Classic products. These are the existing Cisco products found under the five categories of “Network Systems”, “Collaboration, Voice and Video”, “Security”, “Data Center” and “Mobility / Wireless” at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/index.html.

At this stage I only list most Linksys by Cisco, Cisco Small business and Small Business Pro products at shop.ozcableguy.com and in the OzCableguy Router Reviews. I may be able to source some of the Cisco Classic products on request but without extensive knowledge of the 40 odd thousand products they have I will need a part No to have any hope of finding it. ;)
