Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the 10/100/1000 4-Port VPN Router. The Linksys 10/100/1000 4-Port VPN Router is an advanced Internet-sharing network solution for your small business needs. Like any router, it lets multiple computers in your office share an Internet connection. But the 10/100/1000 4-Port VPN Router allows you to connect gigabit-equipped PCs for gigabit networking, as well as including four 10/100/1000 ports for network connectivity.

The Virtual Private Network (VPN) capability creates encrypted “tunnels” through the Internet, allowing up to 50 remote office or traveling users to securely connect into your office network from off-site. Users connecting through a VPN tunnel are attached to your company's network — with secure access to files, e-mail, and your intranet — just as if they were in the building. You can also use the VPN capability to allow users on your small office network to securely connect out to a corporate network.

The 10/100/1000 4-Port VPN Router can serve as a DHCP Server, and has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks. It can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet, and has IP address filtering so you can specify exactly who has access to your network. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.

As the heart of your small office network, the 10/100/1000 4-Port VPN Router gives you the connection reliability your business needs.
