Cisco 2621XM config check please

Hi.
You might have seen my post regards this router and a few issues.
Anyway all seems to be OK. I have now configured the security options and added some voice config. Just three internal phones so far!

I would just like someone with a better knowledge to check over for any potential issues, either security wise or other problems.
I know that remote access to the console can be an issue but I think the firewall defaults resolve this?

Only potential issue I have found is internet access seems slow?

Next try and work out how to configure it to work with an external pstn line!

Thank you
Andrew

Thank you.
It's an older 2621xm but it does have the max 256Mb RAM and 48Mb Flash.
I might look at the rules. They are all added when I chose the default firewall and lockdown options so possibly some can be removed for home use.
I thought better safe than sorry until I got used to how and what it does!

Yes, I did use SDM for the security purely as it was not an area I knew enough to be sure it was secure.
It does look over the top but not sure what to remove at the moment.

Voice was the main priority for me as have no voip experience and it seems a skill more companies are after.
It's not in a 'live' environment currently so performance isn't a major issue but would like to look at it at some point as once I get the CME configured I might use it in the house so could just replace my existing router with the Cisco too.

One thing for sure, Cisco VOIP is certainly a challenge compared to some Windows based systems - I had a look at 3CX too.
