Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Cisco Small Business RV 110W Wireless-N VPN
Firewall. The Cisco RV 110W 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 Cisco RV 110W provides a Wireless-N access point, combined with support
for Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to make your network more secure. Its 10/100
Ethernet WAN interface connects directly to your broadband DSL or Cable
modem. There are four full-duplex 10/100 Ethernet LAN interfaces that can
connect up to four devices. The 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 provided by 802.11g
networks.
