VPN Client Accounts

You can allow remote users to easily establish a VPN connection to your Router using the Linksys QuickVPN client utility without using a compatible VPN Router with IPsec VPN settings. This is achieved by creating user accounts on the Router and authenticate users through Username and Password. After creating user accounts, it will be summarized in the table below.

For users using QuickVPN, it will first establish an SSL connection with remote Wireless Router to get authenticated. Then QuickVPN will automatically negotiate IPsec settings with the remote Router. All the data packets will be encrypted using IPsec thereafter.

The Wireless Router supports up to five Linksys QuickVPN clients by default. Additional QuickVPN Client licenses can be purchased separately.
