Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Cisco CVR100W Wireless-N 300M Router. The
CVR100W provides simple, affordable, secure business-class connectivity to the
Internet for small office/home office (SOHO) and remote professionals.
The CVR100W is an advanced Internet-sharing network solution for your small
business needs. It allows multiple computers in your office to share an Internet
connection through both wired and wireless connections.
The CVR100W provides a Wireless-N access point, combined with support for
Virtual Private Network (VPN) clients to make remote access to your network more
secure. The CVR100W’s 10/100 Fast Ethernet WAN interface connects directly to
your broadband DSL or Cable modem.

LAN Ethernet Interface
The CVR100W provides four full-duplex 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN interfaces that
can connect up to four devices. You can connect a Cisco Small Business switch to
one of the available ports to expand your network as needed.
Wireless Access Point
The CVR100W’s wireless access point supports the 802.11n standard with MIMO
technology, which multiplies the effective data rate. This technology results in
better throughput and coverage than that provided by 802.11g networks.
Security
The CVR100W implements WPA Personal, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 personal,
WPA2 Enterprise, and WEP Security, along with other security features including
the disabling of SSID broadcasts, MAC- based filtering, and allowing or denying
“time of day” access per SSID.
Firewall and VPN Client Access
The CVR100W incorporates a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)-based firewall with
Denial of Service (DoS) prevention, URL filtering, and access control by schedule
to help keep business assets safe.
The CVR100W supports up to three client-to-gateway VPN tunnels to allow
mobile or remote workers to securely access your corporate resources through
encrypted virtual links. Users connecting through a VPN tunnel are attached to
your company’s network with secure access to files, e-mail, and your intranet as if
they were in the building.
Wireless Distribution System
The CVR100W’s wireless access point supports Wireless Distribution System
(WDS), which allows the wireless coverage to be expanded without wires.
