Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the WLR-6000 Wireless Concurrent Dual
Band Gigabit Router 450N. The WLR-6000 is compliant with 802.11a and
802.11n and up to 6 times faster than standard 802.11g based routers while
still being compatible with 802.11g & 802.11b devices. The WLR-6000 is not
only a Wireless Access Point, but also doubles as a 4-port full-duplex Gigabit
switch that connects your wired-Ethernet devices together at 10/100/1000
Mbps speeds.
At 300/450 Mbps wireless transmission rate, the Access Point built into the
Router uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output) technology to
transmit multiple streams of data in a single wireless channel, giving you
seamless access to multimedia content. The robust RF signal travels farther,
eliminates dead spots and extends the network range. For data protection and
privacy, the WLR-6000 encodes all wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, or
WPA2 encryption.
With the built-in DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall, the WLR-6000 protects
your computers against intruders and most known Internet attacks and also
provides safe VPN pass-through. With the incredible speed and QoS function
of 802.11n the WLR-6000 is ideal for media-centric applications like streaming
video, gaming, and VoIP telephony to run multiple media-intense data
streams through the network at the same time, with no degradation in
performance.
With Sitecom Cloud Security, Sitecom goes one step further and ensures that
you can surf the Internet even more safely, not only on your PC, but on all
the devices in your home which you use to access the Internet. It does not
matter whether you surf the Internet on a laptop, a tablet, a mobile telephone
or your television. Thanks to the security that is integrated in the router, all
the Internet devices in your home are protected against the dangers of
Internet criminality.
