The growth in mission critical, high bandwidth applications, such as storage and voice in the work place, has made network performance and security essential. With the introduction of 802.11n, wireless technology is no longer lagging behind wired performance. The Linksys Business Series WRVS4400N wireless router answers the growing business' need for access, speed and security.

The WRVS4400N implements draft 802.11n (Wireless-N) technology with a Virtual Private Network (VPN) Router that features a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet switch. By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate resulting in greater throughput and coverage over 802.11g. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area. At the same time, Wireless-N is backwards compatible with Wireless-B and -G devices.

The WRVS4400N has incorporated advanced firewall and intrusion prevention (IPS) features to secure your network from external threats, including worms, DDoS attacks, and viruses. The VPN tunnels gives your mobile workers a secure and easy to use way to stay connected. In addition, the VPN "gateway to gateway" IPSec tunnels facilitates branch office connectivity through encrypted virtual links. The integrated QoS features provide consistent voice and video performance on both the wired and wireless networks, enabling the deployment of business quality VoIP and video applications.
