802.11g Wireless VPN Router
The WR404 is a high-speed wireless VPN router with a 4-port fast Ethernet
switch. The WR404 features the Virtual Private Network (VPN) function,
which creates encrypted “tunnels” through the Internet allowing offsite users,
telecommuters or branch office to securely connect to your office network.
With the implementation of WEP,WPA ,802.1x, etc… users will be able to
have high performance, secure wireless communication within the enterprise.
When equipped with two different radios, i.e., 802.11g and 802.11b, the
WR404 can also provide dual band wireless connections for all 802.11g and 802.11b client users.
The WR404 has multiple security capabilities to protect your company resources and data security. These firewall capabilities
include Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to prevent malicious DoS attacks, Intrusion Detection System (IDS), etc.
The WR404 comes with dual WAN ports, which provides dual connections to the Internet to reduce the risk of a potentially
catastrophic shutdown if one of the connections should fail. Both WAN links backup each other automatically. Internet
connection never fails. In addition, the included built-in 4-port switch allows direct connection of up to four wired computers
or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches, while several wireless clients can also securely connect to the network. You can
create a network as big as you need. Plus, the user-friendly web-based utility provides the freedom and flexibility for anytime,
any place management.
