Or do you have to have the WIC-1DSU-T1-V2? Our current router uses the
non-V2 version and we want to know if we can bring those over or if we
need to order all new WICs.

Thanks,
Mick

Hi Mick,

I just bought a 2821 and replaced a 2600 and was in the same position,
the answer is no it will not take anything but a V2 WIC. It is a shame
because it adds an extra $1000 to the cost of the router.

More for us, we have 3 T1's . I've found some companies that sell
the V2 version for around ~ $270, but I'm not sure if those are
refurbished or not. Thanks for the info.

Cisco does have a trade-in program, and when upgrading to a platform where
your old cards don't work on the new one, Cisco is usually pretty generous
on those cards. Contact your Cisco Sales rep or reseller about this.

Good point.

Right.

I suspect the real reason the non-V2 cards won't work is the rampet
piracy of Cisco WIC-1DSU-T1s on the gray-market.

Otherwise, it certainly would have been nice to support upgrades like that.
