Over the past month or so we’ve seen several, seemingly new Cisco routers pass through the FCC.  These included the E2000 and E3000 dual-band wireless N routers, as well as the M10 and M20 wireless N models.

We initially thought that these routers were part of new E and M series networking lines from Cisco, however a tipster has informed us that these new routers are actually just rebranded Linksys routers with slightly different firmware.  According to our source, the most notable improvement on these routers is a simplified hotspot set-up process, suggesting that these routers will be targeted at SMBs, not consumers.

The hardware on the Cisco M and E series products correspond to their Linksys brethren as follows:

Cisco M10 shares the hardware of the Linksys WRT160Nv3
Cisco M20 shares the hardware of the Linksys WRT310Nv2
Cisco E2000 shares the hardware of the Linksys WRT320N
Cisco E3000 shares the hardware of the Linksys WRT610Nv2

Thanks to our tipster who sent this in.

Cisco Linksys has been busy on the FCC with their ‘E-Series’ lineup, but today the company passed a new router called the M10 through the FCC, possibly indicating yet another line of consumer-targeted routers.

The M10 offers 802.11 b/g/n at 2.4 GHz, with up to 150 Mbps throughput with wireless N.  Other than that, we don’t know much else about the device.  However, label pics above do show a pretty standard Cisco Linksys form factor and design.

No word on pricing or availability.
