Cisco RV042G Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Router

Highly Secure, Reliable Connectivity for the Small Business Network

The Cisco® RV042G Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Router delivers highly secure, high-performance, reliable
connectivity—to the Internet, other offices, and employees working remotely—from the heart of your small
business network. This proven router provides the performance and security you need to help keep your
employees, and your business, productive.

The Cisco RV042G enables two connections, either to a single service provider, with load balancing to improve
performance, or to different providers to support business continuity. High-capacity virtual private network (VPN)
capabilities let multiple offices and dozens of employees access the information they need from anywhere, just as
securely as if they were working at your main office.

To further safeguard your network and data, the Cisco RV042G includes business-class security features and
optional cloud-based web filtering. Configuration is a snap, using an intuitive, browser-based device manager
and setup wizards.
