Official Cisco website regarding the 800 series router http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps380/index.html However if you plan to do VPN or more toward security, you might want to consider ASA 5505 since the ASA is designed to do VPN and firewall. Official Cisco website regarding the ASA 5500 series http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_data_sheet0900aecd802930c5.html For some basic VPN and firewall features, the legacy PIX Firewall 501 might do the job as well. Official Cisco website regarding the PIX 501 model http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/ps2031/index.html Keep in mind that either the ASA nor PIX is not a router. Therefore if you have or plan to have two ISP or have redundant ISP links; then you need both router and the PIX, or a router that have VPN and Firewall features.
