The Vigor2950 Security Firewall is a broadband router with high throughput, high capacity VPN capabilities and a dual-WAN interface. It provides policy-based load-balance, fail-over, BoD (Bandwidth on Demand), and also integrates IP layer QoS in conjunction with NAT session/bandwidth management to help users control and allocate the bandwidth on networks. With a dedicated VPN co-processor, the hardware encryption of AES/DES/3DES and a hardware key hash of SHA-1/MD5 are seamlessly handled, thus maintaining maximum router performance. For telecommuters and inter-office links, the Vigor2950 supports up to 200 simultaneous VPN tunnels (such as IPSec/PPTP/L2TP protocols) and 50 sessions of SSL VPN.

The 2950 allows users to access Internet and combine the bandwidth of the dual WAN to speed up the transmission through the network. Each WAN port can connect to different ISPs, Even if the ISPs use different technology to provide telecommunication service (such as DSL, Cable modem, etc.). If any connection problem occurs on one of the ISP connections, all the traffic will be guided and switched to the normal communication port for proper operation.

Without the necessity of installing a VPN client on individual PC, the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) virtual private network (VPN) facility lets remote workers connect to the office network at any one time. SSL is supported by standard web browsers such as FireFox and IE. For users of small offices and teleworkers who need to access an enterprises's internal applications, file server and file sharing, Vigor2950 security router series allow up to 50 concurrent SSL sessions.

The Vigor 2950 also provides high-security firewall options with both IP-layer and content based protection. The DoS/DDoS prevention and URL/Web content filter strengthen the security outside and inside the network. The enterprise-level CSM (Content Security Management) enables users to control and manage IM (Instant Messenger) and P2P (Peer to Peer) applications more efficiently. The CSM hence prevents inappropriate content from distracting employees and impeding productivity. Furthermore, the CSM can keep office networks threat-free and available. With CSM, you can protect confidential and essential data from modification or theft.

With high-performance Super G™ wireless connectivity, the router enables the wireless access rate up to 108Mbps. Besides the encryption methods of WEP/WPA/WPA2 and MAC address control, it also offers wireless LAN isolation, Wireless VLAN and 802.1X authentication. WDS (Wireless Distribution System) can help users extend wireless coverage easily. Moreover, the wireless rate control can adjust the connection rate of each wireless station.
