Product Overview

Thank you for choosing the Cisco CVR100W Wireless-N 300M Router. The

CVR100W provides simple, affordable, secure business-class connectivity to the

Internet for small office/home office (SOHO) and remote professionals.

The CVR100W is an advanced Internet-sharing network solution for your small

business needs. It allows multiple computers in your office to share an Internet

connection through both wired and wireless connections.

The CVR100W provides a Wireless-N access point, combined with support for

Virtual Private Network (VPN) clients to make remote access to your network more

secure. The CVR100W’s 10/100 Fast Ethernet WAN interface connects directly to

your broadband DSL or Cable modem.

Introduction

Product Overview

Cisco CVR100W Wireless-N 300M Router Administration Guide 8

LAN Ethernet Interface

The CVR100W provides four full-duplex 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN interfaces that

can connect up to four devices. You can connect a Cisco Small Business switch to

one of the available ports to expand your network as needed.

Wireless Access Point

The CVR100W’s wireless access point supports the 802.11n standard with MIMO

technology, which multiplies the effective data rate. This technology results in

better throughput and coverage than that provided by 802.11g networks.

Security

The CVR100W implements WPA Personal, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 personal,

WPA2 Enterprise, and WEP Security, along with other security features including

the disabling of SSID broadcasts, MAC- based filtering, and allowing or denying

“time of day” access per SSID.

Firewall and VPN Client Access

The CVR100W incorporates a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)-based firewall with

Denial of Service (DoS) prevention, URL filtering, and access control by schedule

to help keep business assets safe.

The CVR100W supports up to three client-to-gateway VPN tunnels to allow

mobile or remote workers to securely access your corporate resources through

encrypted virtual links. Users connecting through a VPN tunnel are attached to

your company’s network with secure access to files, e-mail, and your intranet as if

they were in the building.

Wireless Distribution System

The CVR100W’s wireless access point supports Wireless Distribution System

(WDS), which allows the wireless coverage to be expanded without wires.
