Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Wireless-G VPN Router with RangeBooster. The WRV200 is a VPN router with a Wireless-G access point for small offices and home offices. The 10/100 Ethernet WAN interface connects directly to your broadband DSL or Cable modem. For the LAN interface, there is a built-in 4-port, full-duplex 10/100 Ethernet switch that can connect up to four devices. The wireless AP supports 802.11b/g and incorporates Linksys RangeBooster technology, which utilizes a MIMO antennae configuration to provide increased coverage and reliability over standard 802.11g.

The WRV200 has the advanced security functions needed for business networking. It has a SPI based firewall with DoS prevention, but also a Virtual Private Networking (VPN) engine for secure communication between mobile or remote workers and branch offices. For your wired and wireless local area network, there is support for multiple SSIDs and VLANs for traffic separation. The WRV200’s Wireless AP implements WPA2-PSK, WPA2-ENT, and WEP encryption, along with other security features including enabling/disabling SSID Broadcasts and MAC-based filtering.

Wireless networking in business environments requires additional flexibility. The WRV200 has the capability to expand or reduce the area of your wireless network. There is support for Wireless Distribution System (WDS), which allows the wireless coverage to be expanded without wires through wireless bridging between it and select Linksys stand alone access points. That, along with the ability to increase or decrease the RF output power, allows for optimal wireless coverage.

To support VoIP, the WRV200 has a SIP application layer gateway (ALG) and advanced QoS functionality. SIP based VoIP data has problems traversing through standard firewalls with NAT, especially when you deploy multiple SIP clients. The SIP ALG allows SIP traffic from multiple clients to pass through the router’s firewall. QoS functionality can improve the quality of your voice or video over IP. With support for Wireless QoS (WMM) and wired QoS (port prioritization), consistent voice and video quality is maintained throughout your business.
