One-multi-function network edge router

Nowadays, with the increasing demand for IT products by enterprises, routers have become an indispensable product for everyone. But this kind of router is different from what we usually call high-end core routers. It is actually a network edge access device. However, this kind of access device is very different from the original traditional routers, which is reflected in the fact that wireless functions are generally added. Because the company's network is small, or it may be a branch or virtual office with strong mobility, wireless devices are more popular with users; security features are indispensable. For a network access device, directly connect its own network to the Internet, so the security function must be guaranteed, and VPN function is generally adopted; this kind of network device is mostly a product of several-in-one, both a router and a print server. Because generally small office networks will not pay for those single-function devices, all-in-one devices are more popular, as long as they do not affect normal access to the Internet, this is possible.

Okay, let’s introduce a few edge routers below to see if there are any suitable products for you.

D-Link DI-824VUP+802.11g wireless VPN router

D-Link DI-824VUP+ is an 802.11g wireless VPN router that supports broadband Internet sharing with VPN firewall function, a print server and a built-in 4-port switch. It can quickly connect printers and workstations, and is suitable for users who need high-speed wireless connections, secure VPN connections, enhanced firewall protection and policy-based filtering mechanisms. The router provides you with a cost-effective solution for installing a fast and secure network, which can effectively avoid bottlenecks to external networks.

The router has a built-in wireless LAN, a 4-port switch and print server, allowing for quick wired and wireless connections to workstations, file servers and printers. These built-in designs save costs and eliminate the hassle of installing separate wireless access points, Ethernet switches and print servers.

If used concurrently with other 802.11g wireless devices, the router can provide wireless LAN users with transmission rates up to 54Mbps. In addition, the router is also compatible with existing 802.11b and 802.11b+ wireless devices. That is, if you use the router with existing 802.11b and 802.11b+ devices, you can ensure a stable connection to the network, but you cannot reach the maximum speed the router can provide.

The router supports VPN functionality, through which you can set up multiple IPSec tunnels with the remote site/client. IPSec uses DES3, DES, AES and other encryption methods, as well as automatic IKE/ISAKMP key management. You can create a VPN tunnel from the router to the remote site or mobile user for secure transmission through three-level DES encryption, which allows users to securely access and transmit sensitive data. You can create multiple VPN tunnels without establishing IKE (Internet Key Exchange). In addition to VPN tunnels, the router also supports VPN transmissibility, and you can use your own VPN client software.
