Product Overview

RV082 Dual WAN VPN Router (Figure 1) is an advanced connection-sharing network
solution for your small business needs. Like any router, it lets multiple computers in your office
share a connection to a public or private network. However, with dual WAN ports, the Cisco RV082
lets you use a second connection as a backup to help you stay connected, or it can be used to
access a second provider to increase available bandwidth and balance traffic.
The Cisco RV082 also features a built-in 8-port full-duplex 10/100 Ethernet switch to connect eight
PCs directly, or you can connect more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need.
The VPN capability creates encrypted “tunnels” through the Internet, allowing up to 100 remote
offices or traveling users to securely connect into your office network from offsite. Users
connecting through a VPN tunnel are attached to your company’s network -- with secure access to
files, email, and your intranet -- just as if they were in the building. You can also use the VPN
capability to allow users on your small office network to securely connect out to a corporate
network.
The Cisco RV082 can serve as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and has a
powerful stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most
known Internet attacks. It can be configured to filter internal users’ access to the Internet and has
IP address filtering so you can specify exactly who can connect to your network. Configuration is a
snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.
