It depends (:-)) on just what you're asking.
If you're asking if you can use your 25xx routers and connect them to the
cable/dsl modem - if dsl is better than cable........
then, most DSL providers are DHCP, so the 25xx could not connect directly to
the cable/dsl as the address may change. Well you could do this but you
would have to find out what the address was and then change the router
interface. Really a bother.
In Canada, Rogers#Home Cable trys to keep you static - but with no
guarantees. I've had the same address for about 18 months now. For a long
time I had a 2509 directly connected to the cable modem.
if you're asking if the 25xx will connect directly to the provider replacing
the cable/dsl router - then no, that won't happen.
But, if you put a Internet Appliance between them, say a Linksys Firewall,
(did I say I love mine!!!) then the FW negotiates with the cable/dsl on the
WAN side and you use 192.168.x.x on the inside and then the 25xx address
stays the same, no muss - no fuss.
So it depends on just where your question is going.
