RV042 Dual WAN VPN Router delivers highly secure, high-performance, reliable connectivity - to the
Internet, other offices, and employees working remotely - from the heart of your small business network. This proven
router provides the performance and security you need to help keep your employees, and your business, productive.
The Cisco RV042 enables two connections, either to a single service provider, with load balancing to improve

capabilities let multiple offices and dozens of employees access the information they need from anywhere, just as
securely as if they were working at your main office.
To further safeguard your network and data, the Cisco RV042 includes business-class security features and optional
cloud-based web filtering. Configuration is a snap, using an intuitive, browser-based device manager and setup
wizards.
