Product Overview
The Cisco® WRV210 Wireless-G VPN Router (Figure 1) is a VPN router with an integrated wireless access point for
small offices and home offices. The 10/100 Ethernet WAN interface connects directly to your broadband DSL or
cable modem. The LAN interface consists of a built-in 4-port, full-duplex 10/100 Ethernet switch that can connect up
to four devices. The wireless access point supports 802.11b/g and incorporates RangeBooster technology, which
utilizes multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) antennas to provide increased coverage and reliability.
The Cisco WRV210 has the advanced security functions needed for business networking, including a stateful packet
inspection (SPI) firewall with denial-of-service (DoS) prevention, as well as a VPN engine for highly secure
communication between mobile or remote workers and branch offices. It offers support for multiple service set
identifiers (SSIDs) and VLANs for traffic separation. The WRV210 implements Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared
Key (WPA2-PSK), WPA2 Enterprise, and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption, along with other security
features, including MAC-based filtering and the ability to enable and disable SSID broadcasts.
Wireless networking in business environments requires flexibility. The Cisco WRV210 can expand or reduce the
area of your wireless network via a wireless distribution system (WDS), which allows you to expand your network by
connecting select Cisco standalone access points, without the need for additional wiring. This capability, along with
the ability to increase or decrease the RF output power, allows for optimal wireless coverage.
The WRV210’s support for wireless QoS (Wi-Fi Multimedia [WMM]) and wired QoS (port prioritization) helps
maintain consistent voice and video quality throughout your network
