Cisco C891F-K9 Router Description
Cisco C891F-K9, a model under the Cisco 890 Series Integrated Service Routers, are fixed-configuration routers that offer synergistic business solutions for advanced and secured voice and data communications suitable for small business enterprises or part of a large network setup.
The C891F-K9 is a four-port 802.3af router that offers dual-band WiFi connectivity (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and supports users of up to 50 simultaneously. With a standard 802.11a/g/n access point, the router delivers secure and wide-area broadband, Metro Ethernet, wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity, and business continuity. The router features a web-based OS with an intuitive user interface, making it easy to set up and deploy.
Dual-band Connectivity:
The C891F-K9 router delivers wireless signal over two frequencies ( 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), covering a wide expanse of area, giving you the perfect network experience either while streaming an HD video or an online game. The C891F-K9 supports Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) radio operation, which allows simultaneous connection of multiple devices at the same time.


Security Features:
The Cisco C891F-K9 delivers advanced security features such as device quarantine, firmware updates, automatic updates, and many more across various connectivity options. These features allow the router to provide network-level protection against attacks online from cyber criminals. The router is ideal for medium-sized branch offices with 25-30 remote workers.
