Edge routing for a small to medium-sized
business
Even if you do yet not need VPN connectivity, you can use the router as an edge router
with firewall functionality in a small to medium-sized business network that gives users
Gigabit-speed access to network devices and the Internet.
The following figure shows the router functioning as an edge router in a small business
network. The router is connected to the Internet over a modem. Two switches are
connected to the router, providing ReadyNAS storage connectivity, computer
connectivity, and WiFi connectivity through WiFi access points that are connected to
one of the switches.
After the router is connected to the Internet, you can use the NETGEAR Insight app or
Insight Cloud portal to discover the router on the network and add the router to the
Insight app and Insight Cloud portal.
