Cisco C887VAG-4G-GA-K9ISR 4G LTE VDSL2 ADSL2+ Dual WAN Router · NO ADAPTER

Cisco C887VAG-4G-GA-K9 Dual WAN ISR with 4G LTE

A dual-WAN Cisco 887 series router pairing a VDSL2/ADSL2+ broadband port with an integrated 4G LTE modem, so a branch site can fail over to mobile when the fixed line drops. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty. Please note this unit is supplied without a power adapter.

Key benefits

• True dual WAN — VDSL2/ADSL2+ on one path and 4G LTE on the other, in a single box with no external modem required.
• Automatic failover — IOS can bring the LTE link up when the fixed broadband service fails, keeping a branch trading.
• Integrated 4-port switch — the built-in 10/100 LAN switch connects desk sockets or an access point without extra hardware.
• Firewall and VPN capable — runs the same IOS security feature set as the rest of the 800 series for policy and IPsec tunnels.
• GA band variant — the -GA part number covers LTE bands 1, 3, 7, 8 and 20, with Australia listed by Cisco as a supported region.
• Tested and factory reset — prior configuration is wiped and the unit verified by our technicians before listing.

Performance in use

The reason this model still sells is failover. A single-WAN router turns a broadband outage into a closed shop; the 887VAG carries a second, physically independent path over the mobile network. Put a data SIM in one of the two sockets, configure the backup route in IOS, and an outage on the fixed line becomes a brief slowdown rather than a day of downtime. For a retail counter, a clinic or an unattended site running EFTPOS or telemetry, that is the whole value proposition.

The xDSL side supports VDSL2 and ADSL2+, which matters mostly for legacy and regional connections. If your site has already been cut over to an NBN service handing off Ethernet, you would typically ignore the DSL port entirely and use the router for its LAN switching, firewalling and LTE backup instead.

As with the rest of the 800 series, the ceiling here is throughput. The LAN and WAN Ethernet interfaces are 10/100, and IPsec encryption consumes CPU on top of that. This is a router for reliability and reach at a small site, not for pushing a fast fibre service. Match it to the job and it is a genuinely useful piece of kit; expect gigabit performance and it will disappoint.

Frequently asked questions

Is a power adapter included?

No. As stated in the listing title, this unit ships without a power adapter. You will need to source the correct Cisco 887 series supply separately.

Is a SIM card or data plan included?

No. The router has two mini 2FF SIM sockets, so it can hold services from two carriers, but you supply your own SIMs and data plans.

Does it have Wi-Fi?

No. This model has a 4G LTE cellular radio, not a wireless LAN radio. Clients connect by cable, or you can add a separate access point to a LAN port.

Will the 4G work on Australian networks?

The -GA variant covers LTE bands 1, 3, 7, 8 and 20 — that is 2100, 1800, 2600, 900 and 800 MHz — and Cisco lists Australia as a supported region. Band support still depends on your carrier, so confirm compatibility with them before purchase.

Do I need the DSL port if I am on NBN?

Not usually. Most NBN services hand off Ethernet, in which case you would use the Ethernet WAN path and keep the LTE modem for backup.

Is it configured, or does it arrive blank?

It arrives factory reset. Configuring dual WAN failover requires console or SSH access and working knowledge of Cisco IOS.

What warranty is included?

Every unit carries a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT, return to base, covering hardware faults. If it fails within the warranty period we repair or replace it.

Do you ship Australia-wide?

Yes. This item ships from our Melbourne warehouse to anywhere in Australia. Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.
