Efficient Green TechnologyD-Link Green Ethernet features save power and help cut energy costs. The D-Link Green WLAN Scheduler shuts down your wireless network automatically according to a schedule you define, allowing you to turn off your wireless network during off-peak hours, saving energy and keeping your network secure. The D-Link Green Ethernet feature can detect the length of the cables connected to the router and can adjust power usage accordingly to save energy automatically without sacrificing performance. It can also detect if a link is down on a port and automatically puts that port into a sleep mode, reducing the amount of power used. In addition, compliance with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directives make D-Link Green certified devices an environmentally responsible choice. |
Robust VPN FeaturesA fully featured virtual private network (VPN) provides your mobile workers and branch offices with a secure link to your network. The DSR-250 is capable of simultaneously managing 5 Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN tunnels respectively, as well as10 Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels, empowering your mobile users by providing remote access to a central corporate database. Site-to-site VPN tunnels use IP Security (IPSec) Protocol, Point-to- Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), or Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) to facilitate branch office connectivity through encrypted virtual links.The DSR-250 support up to 25 IPSec VPN tunnels respectively, and 25 additional PPTP/L2TP tunnels. |
Limited Lifetime WarrantyD-Link offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the DSR-250 VPN Router to further its commitment to product quality and long-term customer confidence. |

Only caveat, but not enough to remove a star, all my other network devices have either brackets or screw hole slots in the bottom for wall mounting which I used to mount them in my power/network closet, this device does not have, so I had to use a couple of large zip ties to hold it to the wall. doesn't look as nice but works fine.
