Vigor2850 series is a VDSL2 router with multi-subnet for secure and efficient workgroup
management. It integrates IP layer QoS, NAT session/bandwidth management to help
users control works well with large bandwidth.

By adopting hardware-based VPN platform and hardware encryption of AES/DES/3DES,
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 32 VPN
tunnels.

The object-based 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. In addition, DoS/DDoS prevention and URL/Web content filter strengthen the
security outside and control inside.

Vigor2850 series supports USB interface for connecting USB printer to share printing
function, 3G USB modem for network connection, or connectivity for network FTP
service.
