The Cisco name is on several kinds of router. There are the small business RV and CVR routers, the DPC and EPC cable gateways (formerly Scientific Atlanta) supplied by cable companies, and the home routers sold while Cisco owned Linksys (Valet M10/M20, X2000/X3000, some E-series). These guides cover all of them. If your router says "Linksys by Cisco", our Linksys guides apply too.
