DSR-250: 8-Port Gigabit VPN Router

Secure, high performance networking solutions that address the growing needs of small and medium businesses.

Efficient Green Technology

D-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 Features

A 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.

    Faster than advertised
    5 Stars
    Faster than advertised
    I bought this because my old "gigabit" firewall only provided wan2lan of 25mbs per port which was a huge waste when paying for gigabit internet. This is advertised to have a wan2lan of 750mbs so its much better for giganet. That being said I speedtested a 940 through a 150' cat8 on it which is the same as tested thought the modem so it may be more.
