<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
It has been many years since I have configured a cisco router, and I am pleased to see that there is a config assistant (first time user of the config software) &nbsp;that has been put out. So I downloaded and installed the software, went through the device setup wizard; and the only device option I have able to be selected is a CE520 (Apparently the 877 is a supported device). Could someone please provide a noob with a the simple steps to get a cisco 877 router recognised by the Cisco configuration assistant device setup wizard?<br />

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Using the Cisco Netowrk Assistant to configure an 877 router

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
