Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the WLR-4002B Wireless Gigabit VPN

Router 300N. The WLR-4002B is compliant with 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-4002B is not only a Wireless Access

Point, but also doubles as a 7-port full-duplex Gigabit switch that connects

your wired-Ethernet devices together at 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.

At 300 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-4002B encodes all wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, or WPA2

encryption.

With the inbuilt DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall, the WLR-4002B 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-4002B 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.

The router includes Sitecom Cloud Security to protect your home network

against cybercrime.
