Gigabyte's Wireless VPN Broadband Router is the advanced, complete networking solution for your small business, incorporating all the essential networking functions in one powerful box.  The GN-BR404W includes a wireless 802.11g compliant access point (AP), which lets users connect wireless 802.11g devices to the network while the router function lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. And finally, the Virtual Private Network (VPN) function allows remote or traveling users to securely connect to your office or home network via the Internet, or users in branch offices to connect to a corporate network.

Stay Secure and Mobile with VPN
With the Virtual Public Network (VPN) function, the GN-BR404W permits remote or traveling users with a VPN endpoint to securely access the office or home network over the Internet. For those that are meeting clients or are working from home, they can immediately link to their company network and obtain relevant business data.  The data packages along with all traffic are encrypted, with both ends of the traffic requiring authorization of one another.  Thus, VPN is a secure and ideal feature for businesses with mobile employees or employees that work from home.

Extra Features
The GN-BR404W also includes a unique feature aimed at broadening the network range through point to point connections between AP's.  This feature, called the Extended Distribution Wireless System (EDWS), expands on the Wireless Distribution System (WDS).  The GN-BR404W can be converted from 802.11g to 802.11a compliance with the addition of Gigabyte's GN-WLMA101 wireless LAN card for greater wireless flexibility.  With such robust features, the Gigabyte VPN router truly gives you the flexibility, speed, and security you need for your office network.
