Bought new router for home use, might be over kill!!!
We keep having issues watching Netflix, Hulu or Amazon with our WIFI router. In researching for a new Router I may have bought more hardware than I need. Since we live in a 3 story house, not counting the basement, I thought about hooking up two WIFI routers to a single Router via ethernet cable. I wanted gigabit ethernet with a robust back plane. So I convinced my wife that we should buy this:
Cisco 890 Integrated Services Routers
Now the online streaming will continue to work even if both WIFI routers stop working. Our TV and X-Box One are both hardwired into our network. It was only $350 on Amazon and new WIFI routers can cost at least $250.
Am I nuts for buying this???

xorpsh
xorp(1) General Commands Manual xorp(1) NAME
xorpsh -- XORP Command Shell SYNOPSIS
xorpsh [-c command] [-t directory] [-e] [-h] [-v] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the xorpsh command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. xorpsh is the command used to interact with a eXtensible Open Router Platform (XORP) router. This command starts up a command line inter- face (CLI), that allows the configuration of the router and monitoring of the router state. The xorpsh command provides an interactive command shell to a XORP user, similar in many ways to the role played by a Unix shell. In a production router xorpsh might be set up as an user's login shell - they would login to the router via ssh and be directly in the xorpsh. It can also be run directly from the Unix command line. xorpsh should normally be run as a regular user; it is neither necessary or desirable to run it as root. If an user is to be permitted to make changes to the running router configuration, that user needs to be in the Unix group xorp. The Debian package installation automatically sets up both a xorp user and a xorp group to which this user belongs. However, any user can run the xorpsh command unless locally restricted by the administrator. OPTIONS
xorpsh allows the following options: -h Show summary of options. -v Print verbose information. -c command Specify command(s) to execute. -t directory Specify templates directory. -e Exit immediately if cannot connect to the rtrmgr SEE ALSO
xorp_rtrmgr (8) This program is documented fully in the Xorp User Manual, chapter Command Structure, available at /usr/share/doc/xorp-doc/ in Debian sys- tems when the xorp-doc package is installed. AUTHOR
