Hi Group,

I am thinking of replacing my Cisco 1841 router with a Cisco 1941W
router.

I know the Cisco 1941W comes with 2 x 10/100/1000 interfaces.
However, I would like to add an extra 2 x Gigabit if possible and
install the ADSL card from my 1841.

Are there any Gigabit expansion cards that will working in the Cisco
1941W?

Thanks

David

You won't be able to do that.
For 2 aditional Gbps ports you need to add 2 x HWIC-1GE-SFP + the
coresponding SFP ports that you need. Since the router has only 2 slots
you won't be able to install your ADSL card.

More info about the expansion cards here:

I am not familiar with the 1900 series routers however
in general such low end routers will not be able to run
GBE ports at anything like full rate.

There is a 4 port (or is it 5?) fast ethernet (H?)WIC that might
suit your purposes. This card has an on-board switch
so that local traffic is hardware switched and does not
affect the router CPU.

If you need GBE rate routing consider 3560 (L3)switch.

That's the HWIC-4ESW
