Cisco 800 Series Routers from M&F Collaboration give small branches, teleworkers, and M2M sites a compact IOS WAN edge—C88x Ethernet and DSL models, C89x Gigabit CPE with optional Wi-Fi, and C819/C899 cellular platforms. They're stocked for teams replacing aging CPE, matching a DSL or LTE circuit, or keeping spares for fixed 800 deployments.

  • 880 Series (C881, C886VA, C887VA, C888): Fast Ethernet or DSL/G.SHDSL WAN with a four-port FE switch for roughly twenty users.
  • 890 Series (C891F, C891FW, C892FSP): Gigabit WAN/LAN CPE, optional dual-radio 802.11n, SFP-capable models for Metro Ethernet.
  • 819 / 899 LTE (C819G-4G-NA, C819HWD, C899G-LTE-NA): Compact or hardened cellular and Wi-Fi edges for retail, kiosk, and rugged sites.

Not sure whether to keep an 800 or step up to ISR 1100/900? Request a quote and we'll match the PID to your WAN and lifecycle plan.

How to choose a Cisco 800 Series router

Cisco 800 Series platforms are fixed-configuration small-office ISRs. The right PID follows the circuit: Ethernet, VDSL2/ADSL2+, G.SHDSL, or 4G LTE—then LAN port count, Wi-Fi, and hardened packaging. Work through these checks before you order.

1. Match the WAN interface to the carrier

C881-K9 uses a Fast Ethernet WAN for simple Ethernet handoffs. C886VA-K9 and C886VAJ-K9 provide multimode VDSL2/ADSL2+ over ISDN (Annex J on VAJ) with ISDN dial backup. C887VA-K9 covers VDSL2/ADSL2+ over POTS. C888-K9 is the G.SHDSL (EFM/ATM) option with ISDN backup. For Gigabit CPE, C891F-K9 adds GE/SFP plus FE WAN and an eight-port GE switch; C892FSP-K9 dual-GE WAN without Wi-Fi or PoE. Cellular sites should look at C819G-4G-NA-K9 (North America LTE bands 2/4/5/17) or C899G-LTE-NA-K9 when eight GE LAN ports are required.

2. Decide on Wi-Fi and hardening

Integrated dual-radio 802.11n appears on wireless PIDs such as C881WD-A-K9 and C891FW-A-K9 (FCC -A domain). C819HWD-A-K9 is a hardened 819 with four FE ports and dual-band Wi-Fi for rugged mounts—not an LTE SKU. For denser or Wi-Fi 6 coverage, pair a wired 800 with a dedicated access layer using our wireless AP guidance.

3. Size users and security, then confirm licenses

Cisco documents about twenty recommended users on 880/819-class platforms and about fifty on 890 Series. Default feature sets emphasize Advanced Security (firewall, IPsec VPN); Advanced IP Services may be required for broader routing/VPN features—confirm before cutover. On refurbished (-RF) units, verify Smart Account entitlements separately from the hardware PID.

4. Keep versus refresh

Keep 800 Series for like-for-like spares and circuits that still require a specific DSL or LTE PID. For greenfield SD-WAN, higher throughput, or longer lifecycle, step up to Cisco 1100 Series Routers, 900 Series, or the broader Cisco ISR catalog. Complete the BOM with Transceivers, Network Cables, and Cisco Power Supplies.

Cisco 800 Series Router FAQs

What WAN types do Cisco 800 Series routers support?

Depending on PID: Fast Ethernet (C881), multimode VDSL2/ADSL2+ over ISDN or POTS (C886VA/C887VA), G.SHDSL (C888), Gigabit Ethernet/SFP (C891F/C892FSP), and 4G LTE on C819G-4G-NA and C899G-LTE-NA models.

What does -RF mean on Cisco 800 Series part numbers?

On M&F Collaboration listings, -RF means refurbished—for example C881-K9-RF or C891F-K9-RF. Confirm software entitlements for your Smart Account before production use.

How many users can an 880 or 890 Series router support?

Cisco's data sheets recommend about 20 users for 880 Series (and similarly compact 819) platforms and about 50 users for 890 Series models. Size from concurrent services and WAN speed, not only the marketing cue.

Does C819HWD-A-K9 include LTE?

No. Our C819HWD-A-K9 listing is a hardened 819 with four Fast Ethernet ports and dual-band FCC Wi-Fi. For North America LTE in the 819 family, use C819G-4G-NA-K9.

When should I choose C891FW-A-K9 vs C892FSP-K9?

C891FW-A-K9 adds dual-radio FCC 802.11n Wi-Fi and dial-backup options on the 891F platform. C892FSP-K9 is dual Gigabit WAN CPE without Wi-Fi or PoE—better when wireless is a separate access layer.

Should I replace 800 Series with ISR 1100 or 900 Series?

Replace when you need modern SD-WAN/IOS XE longevity, higher throughput, or current Wi-Fi handled by dedicated APs. Keep 800 Series for like-for-like spares and circuit-specific DSL/LTE PIDs that still match the plant.

Where can I find SFPs and power supplies for these routers?

Browse Transceivers for SFP optics on C891F/C892FSP, and Cisco Power Supplies for adapters and PoE supplies. Include LTE antennas on RFQs for cellular SKUs.
