Setup

Enable DHCP Server  To use the Router as your network’s DHCP server, select Enable DHCP Server. If you already have a DHCP server on your network, remove the check mark.

Dynamic IP

Client Lease Time  The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the Router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be “leased” this dynamic IP address. The range is 5-43,200 minutes. The default is 1440 minutes.

Dynamic IP Range Start/End  Enter a starting IP address and ending IP address to create a range of available IP addresses. The default range is 100-149. (Make sure the Router’s LAN IP address is not in this dynamic IP range.) For example, if the Router uses the default LAN IP address, 192.168.1.1, then the starting value must be 192.168.1.2 or greater.

Static IP

You can assign a static IP address to a specific device based on its MAC address.

corresponding MAC addresses. The Unknown MAC Addresses List appears.

Unknown MAC Addresses List

To add an IP address and MAC address set to the Static IP list, select Enable, and then click Apply. To add all IP addresses and MAC addresses to the Static IP list, click Select All.

To update the on-screen information, click Refresh. To exit this screen and return to the Setup screen, click Close.

Static IP Address  Enter the static IP address. You can enter 0.0.0.0 if you want the Router to assign a static IP address to the device.

MAC Address  Enter the MAC address of the device. Name  Enter a descriptive name for the device.

Enable  Select Enable to assign the static IP address to this device.

Click Add to List, and configure as many entries as you would like, up to a maximum of 100. To delete an entry, select it and click Delete selected Entry.

Block MAC address on the list with wrong IP address  To block traffic from devices with MAC addresses on the Static IP list but using the wrong IP addresses, select this option. It prevents users from changing device IP addresses without your permission.

Block MAC address not on the list  To block traffic from devices using dynamic IP addresses, select this option. It blocks all devices with MAC addresses not listed on the Static IP list.

DNS

DNS Server  You can assign DNS server(s) to the DHCP clients so the Router will use the DNS server(s) for faster access to functioning DNS server(s). Enter the IP address of at least one DNS server.

WINS

WINS Server  Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) is a service that resolves NetBIOS names to IP addresses. WINS is assigned if the computer (DHCP client) requests one. If you do not know the IP address of the WINS server, keep the default, 0.0.0.0.

Boasting dual WAN ports, the RV042 allows users to have two internet connections, providing load balancing and failover capabilities. This means that the router can automatically switch to a secondary Internet connection if the primary fails, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity crucial for business operations.

A key feature of the RV042 is its support for Virtual Private Networking (VPN). It can accommodate up to 50 VPN tunnels simultaneously, enabling secure remote access for employees who need to connect to the office network from various locations.

In terms of connectivity, the Linksys RV042 is equipped with four Ethernet ports, supporting speeds of up to 1 Gbps through its LAN (Local Area Network) connections. This allows for high-speed data transfer within the office premises, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video conferencing and large file transfers. Additionally, the router features an integrated firewall, which helps protect the network from external threats by filtering incoming and outgoing traffic.

The RV042 also excels in its Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, which enable users to prioritize traffic for more critical applications. This is particularly beneficial in environments where multiple applications rely on the same bandwidth, allowing businesses to maintain optimal performance for essential tasks.

For businesses looking to manage their network more effectively, the RV042 offers a web-based interface that simplifies configuration and monitoring. The user-friendly dashboard allows administrators to track network usage, configure access controls, and set up security measures easily.

Overall, the Linksys RV042 VPN router stands out for its reliability, security features, dual WAN support, and ease of management. It is an excellent choice for organizations that require a secure, stable, and high-performance networking solution, enabling seamless connectivity and productivity in an increasingly digital business landscape.
