Configuring the Cisco 877W with BE
I recently wanted to update my Cisco knowledge so replaced my old Juniper home router with a Cisco 877W ADSL2+ wireless router. I thought I’d share the config for any other UK BEthere.co.uk users with a static IP address:

Once you’re up and running, log a support call with BeThere and ask them to switch your SNR Profile and that’ll raise the speed above the 14mbps you’ll get without it.
