The Vigor2912Fn is an integrated network management solution that comes with 1 Fiber slot WAN and 4 Fast Ethernet LAN Switch. The 1st LAN port can be configured as a secondary WAN for load balancing or failover, and 3G/4G cellular connectivity can also be added to Vigor2912Fn via its USB port. The Vigor2912Fn is also a robust VPN server for up to 16 concurrent tunnels, it has Firewall and Content Filtering features built-in to secure the local network, and it offers bandwidth management functions to optimize the bandwidth allocation and make the most out of the limited bandwidth.
The primary WAN interface of Vigor2912Fn is a fiber slot, a secondary WAN can be enabled on the W2/P1 switchable port, and a 3G/4G USB modem can be attached to the USB port to add a cellular connectivity as WAN 3. All 3 WANs can be active simultaneously to share the traffic load, or some of them can be set up in "failover", which means the WAN interface will be standing-by normally, but be activated automatically in the event of link failure or heavy traffic.
Vigor2912Fn is also a robust VPN server for 16 concurrent VPN tunnels, including Site-to-Site VPN and Remote Access VPN. For Site-to-Site VPN, Vigor2912Fn also allows a redundant VPN tunnel to be built on the alternative WAN, so that if the main VPN fails due to the disconnection of the WAN, a backup VPN can be established automatically over the alternative WAN.
Vigor2912Fn has built-in Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) Firewall and supports flexible filtering rules to help you protect the network clients from insecure websites, and also improve productivity by preventing time and network resource wasting on inappropriate network activities.
With an annual subscription to CYREN Web Content Filtering service (a free 30-day trial is included in every new router.), you may also filter the websites by their categories, and set up restrictions to block the whole categories of websites (such as Social Networking, Gambling.. etc.) without the need to specify every site you would like to block.
Vigor2912Fn features Bandwidth Limit and Session Limit to restrict the maximum bandwidth or session number that a host can use, thus to prevent the bandwidth and the router's resources being occupied by a single host. Quality of Service (QoS) allows you to reserve a certain amount of bandwidth for the critical clients or time-sensitive applications, such as audio and video, it also offers VoIP prioritization to ensure the best call quality even if the Internet speed is slow.
Vigor2912Fn has built-in Wi-Fi that is compliant with the 802.11n standard, delivers data rate up to 300Mbps. Up to 4 SSID can be enabled, and each of them can be mapped to different VLAN of the router, allows you to separate the Wi-Fi clients and apply different policies easily.
