Cisco Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Router

I live in rural America, and recently was forced to move our internet "airwave-line-of-site" antenna from the top of our house to a location on top of a hill on our property 500' from the house. Our internet provider decided we weren't important enough to maintain the service we had finally achieved after over 10+ years with the antenna on top of our house, and realigned his antennas to point to his other much newer customers. I had raised the antenna 15' above the house on a home-built unistrut tower that included heavy safety eyes for attaching a safety harness, steps, and a tool shelf at the top. I was faced with building a new tower on top of the hill, running power, and somehow getting the network service back to the house. I decided, because we have moles and ground squirrels, (they've eaten through the power line insulation buried 6 ft deep to our well twice) to run only a power line and use bridge antennas to beam the service from the tower back to the house. To do this, I needed a small router to connect to our internet service and the bridge antenna on top of the hill. I selected the CISCO dual Gigabit Router, because I didn't need a wireless router, but it had to be small enough to fit in an outdoor breaker box enclosure along with the power supplies for the router, the internet service provider's antenna, and my bridge antenna. I plugged my laptop into port 1, my internet service antenna into the "Internet" port, and my bridge antenna into port 2. Following the quick setup instructions, and selecting the option that allows a username and password to be used to login to my internet service provider's server, I was up an running within a couple minutes. No software installation was necessary. I signed on to my Ubiquiti bridge antenna using my cell phone's wifi, allowed it to select a default IP address, entered the MAC address for the antenna on the house, and immediately could see that I had internet service beaming to the house. I went back to my house, changed my wireless router's setup from its original setting of attaching to the internet provider's server, to just being assigned an IP address automatically by the CISCO router. Finally, after 2-1/2 months we have internet service in our home once again. Not knowing too much about the latest in networking, I couldn't believe how easy it was to get the router communicating with my internet service provider's server, get the bridge antennas to talk to each other, and link back into my wireless router in the house. My service is as fast as it ever has been even though I now have my new CISCO router and two Ubiquiti antennas added in between. I can't talk to how long this CISCO router will last in an unvented 6" X 22" X 24"outdoor steel breaker box enclosure, but for now, it works great. If the summer heat kills the router, I'll deal with venting the box when the time comes. $100 for the CISCO router is peanuts compared to what it cost to run 520' of underground 30 amp power line and build a new tower. If I get 6 months with this router (with basically unlimited data), It's far better than paying $160/month and maxing out at 60 Gig for satellite service that isn't suitable for continuous on-line database management.
