Recommend me a Cisco Router

[Ricochet J]

Yup, that's right, a Cisco router Am I mad? Yes I am, but that has nothing to do with my choice.

I'm doing my CCNA, and coincedently I am in the lookout for a new router. So I thought perhaps if I buy a cheap low end Cisco Router I can mess about with the IOS and the router and get some experience.
Here's what i'm looking at:
Wireless
VPN
Console Port for configurations
Usual router stuff

I was thinking something around the 800 series routers. But the 801 doesn't have wireless.
Nothing major. I'm spending about £150 - £200.

Thanks

Edit: I'm using ADSL, but a spare Ethernet port for a modem will be handy if I ever change ISP to a cable one.

If you want to spend some money on routers for the CCNA and you have £150-200 you'd be better off buying some low end 2500s with ipservices IOS, forget configuring VPNs or Wireless in the CCNA, its only there in theory and to do site-site or remote access VPNs you really need a 2621 with 64mb ram which is around £200 minimum on ebay, you could get a bunch of 4 2501s for around £200, which is great for practising routing on, its the only real practical element to the CCNA. The 800 series routers are great for soho stuff but not as cheap 2500s, also the 800s don't come with serial ports so you can't learn frame-relay or anything other than Ethernet.

Get an 837, and buy an wireless access point. Or, spend the money and get an 877 with wireless - don't think you can get an 837 with, and the 857's aren't much cop iirc...
