| Where is the best place to buy them, and for a reasonable price??? Also what series of Cisco routers do I need to use to study for the New 640-801 exam??? Also if I buy a home kit, what are the bare minimum requirements I should look for in these CCNA Home Kits??? | |

| I think the 2500 series routers are the standard for CCNA studies because they are inexpensive and plentiful. I used two Cisco 2501 routers connected back-to-back with DCE/DTE crossover cables. I also bought two AUI Ethernet transceivers and two console cable kits. This setup cost me around $250.00. The only thing that I might have wanted to add would have been a 1900 series switch such as the 1912 or 1924. | |

| You didn't want to have an ethernet port so you could connect it to a dsl router/modem or anything? | |

| Each 2501 has one ethernet port in the form of an AUI interface and I used the AUI Ethernet transceivers to convert from the fifteen pin female DB connector to a standard rj-45. | |

| I've got a Cisco 2502 router. It doesn't have the 15 pin connector, just the AUX jack. Can that also be converted to RJ45? | |

| The auxillary port can be used as another console port or connected to via a modem but it is not an ethernet interface. |
