The 4-Port Gigabit Security Router with VPN from Linksys combines the functions of a Cable/DSL router, an IPSec VPN gateway, a network switch, and network firewall into one compact device. The router allows you to share your Internet connection between several computers that can connect via four standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports. The router also features a firewall to protect you from malicious software that can attack your computer from the Internet, making it an excellent choice for your home or office network.
Integrated Firewall
The router features a powerful firewall to help protect your computer against malicious attacks that often target computers connected to the Internet, giving you peace of mind while you are connected to the web.
IPSec VPN Tunneling
The router works as a Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway, allowing for up to five simultaneous QuickVPN tunnels. The device also supports five IPSec Gateway-to-Gateway tunnels for interoffice connectivity.
DMZ Port
The router features DMZ capability, allowing you to connect a computer directly to the Internet, bypassing the integrated firewall. This allows advanced users to connect a computer on their network in order to work with applications that a firewall may interfere with. This can be configured on any LAN port via the device's control panel.
