Anyone use Cisco Cable Router, specifically WRT320N?

My two aironets give me incredible coverage (with the addition of some higher than normal gain antennae), we also use them at work (centrally managed with a 4402 WLAN controller) and they give us 100% coverage at 100% signal across the entire building which is built like a Faraday cage!

I went for the 2651XM (which you'll pick up for £100-130) after throughput testing one at length using an MTU of 1400. It easily surpassed the 50Mb throughput, offers me all the features I needed, and more. So really it'd be hard for me to not recommend my own choice. A 2691 would also do the trick.

Although I'd keep a look out for an 1841, 2801, or possibly a 3660, you never know you may snipe a bargain.

Switch wise, it depends utterly on what you want to do with it. I went for the 3548XL purely because I'm ensuring I have the kit with which to do my CCNP labs, and the CCVP labs after that (hence why I have an NM-HDV in my 2600, and have it configured with a voice IOS)
 
I thought I'd have a chat with the online sales person over at cisco.com and they suggested a 891, however it doesn't come cheap!

To give you an idea, there are about 6 users at home and we all connect using Wireless. I know some would suggest in a standard consumer device but I have never had an issue with the 877 in all the time I've had it (did have a minor problem with losing atm - long story). I have been looking at doing CCNA training I have managed to config equipment on my own without any major assistance in the past, a fluke I can assure you!

Could I email you in trust, your help has been valuable and greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
