Main features:
- N900 router (450Mbps concurrent band)
- Gigabit interfaces
- Two USB ports
- Native VPN up to 5 IPSec tunnels
- Ideal for HD media network
In the HD media era today, many wireless router manufacturers are competing in introducing the ultimate speed and range of HD media routers, the routers with wireless N900 technology delivering the speeds up to 450Mbps each band concurrently. The following are some routers which adopt the N900 technology:
- Trendnet TEW-692GR 450Mbps wireless dual band gigabit router
- Netgear WNDR4500 N900 dual band gigabit router
- And the Zyxel NBG5715 450Mbps concurrent dual band gigabit router
All the three routers above use the same wireless spec – the wireless N900. The first two routers have been discussed previously, now let see how good the Zyxel NBG5715 is.
High Speed
Zyxel 450Mbps concurrent band adopts wireless N900 technology with Beam forming technology which focuses beams of bandwidth for each of individual client for seamless connection. In addition to extend the longer distance coverage, it is equipped with three detachable external antennas with 2dBi gain and with MIMO antenna technology for fast data rate transfers up to 450Mbps each band.
Like other routers which are designed for HD media network, the Zyxel 450Mbps is also embedded with gigabit interfaces for both LAN and WAN Ethernet ports, the fastest wired connection available today for home or business routers. you can utilize these gigabit speed for hungry bandwidth applications such as streaming HD media, video and voice applications etc.
Two USB Ports
Thank to the routers that include two USB ports that allow you to host both storage and printer concurrently and are accessible across the network. This feature is very essential to support your “work and play” environment, eliminating wireless print-server.
Native VPN
This is another feature that is not available on the other home wireless routers, the native VPN that allow you create up to 5 IPSec secure VPN tunneling for remote users. Typically home wireless routers support VPN pass-through – just passing the VPN protocols, this Zyxel N900 router concurrent dual bands also supports VPN pass-through.
With these main features, you’ll thank to this router’s rich features to support your HD media environment as well as to support your work environment with two USB ports functionality.
