Vigor2925 series is a broadband router which 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 50 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.

Vigor2925 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.
