Vigor2952 is a broadband router with dual-WAN interface. It provides
policy-based load-balance, fail-over and BoD (Bandwidth on Demand), also it
integrates IP layer QoS, NAT session/bandwidth management to help users
control works well with large bandwidth.

By adopting hardware-based VPN platform, hardware encryption of AES/DES/3DS
and hardware key hash of SHA-1/MD5, the router increases the performance of
VPN greatly, and offers several protocols (such as IPSec/PPTP/L2TP) with up to

100 VPN tunnels.

The object-originated design used in SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall
allows users to set firewall policy with ease. CSM (Content Security Management)
provides users control and management in IM (Instant Messenger) and P2P (Peer
to Peer) more efficiency than before. By the way, DoS/DDoS prevention and
URL/Web content filter strengthen the security outside and control inside.

Vigor2952 series supports USB interface for connecting USB printer to share
printing function, 3G/4G USB modem for network connection, or connectivity for
network FTP service.

This section will guide you to install the router through hardware connection and
configure the router’s settings through web browser.

Before starting to configure the router (taking Vigor2952n for example), you
have to connect your devices correctly.

1. Connect a cable Modem/DSL Modem/Media Converter (depends on your
requirement) to any WAN port of router with Ethernet cable (RJ-45). Or,
connect the fiber cable to the WAN (SFP) port of router.

2. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) to one of the LAN ports of the
router and the other end of the cable (RJ-45) into the Ethernet port on your
computer (that device also can connect to other computers to form a small
area network).

3. Connect the power cord to the router’s power port on the rear panel, and
the other side into a wall outlet.

4. Power on the device by pressing down the power switch on the rear panel.

5. The system starts to initiate. After completing the system test, the ACT LED
will light up and start blinking. The WAN1/WAN2/LAN connector LED (Left
or Right) will light up according to the network card feature (1000 or 100) of
the device that it connected.

If Fiber connection is used, check if SFP LED lights up or not.
