Hey guys i cant find any documentation on whether I need a special router for my application. I need to connect 2 tablets to the control network so they can run FT Viewpoint and use the factory HMIs.

My hunch tells me a standard Cisco router linked below will work, seems like Rockwell does recommend the Stratix 5100 though.

Thought Id chime in for some feedback before I recommend the wrong router to a customer...Thanks!
