Firewall builder for cisco routers6/12/2023 ![]() But for 40 MHz bandwidth mode, the 220W still putts along at 20 MHz mode-like speeds, while the NETGEAR WNDR3700 and Cisco Linksys E4200 bump up to significantly higher throughput. And switching to Auto bandwidth mode to enable channel bonding did not appear to significantly improve speeds on either band.Ĭomparing the 220W to two leading dual-band consumer routers, the 2.4 GHz performance table below shows in-the-ballpark performance in 20 MHz bandwidth mode. Uplink speeds were generally lower than downlink, however. Highest 5 GHz band throughput of 69.8 Mbps was again in Location A, but downlink with 40 MHz (Auto) bandwidth mode.Ĭompared to other routers, I’d classify the 220W’s wireless performance as average not the best, but not the worst. Highest 2.4 GHz throughput of 61.5 Mbps was measured using our wireless test process in Location A running downlink in 20 MHz bandwidth mode. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is not supported, which is not surprising, given the business focus of the product.Īlso of note is that when Auto bandwidth mode is selected on either band, you can’t set the channel. I couldn’t test for 54 Mbps link limit for WPA / TKIP because the router only allows mixed TKIP+AES. It also properly limits link rates to 54 Mbps when using WEP security. On the wireless side, the RV 220W is Wi-Fi Certified and properly defaults to 20 MHz bandwidth mode out of the box. I didn’t find any controls, however, to keep wireless traffic from connecting to wired LAN clients, for setting up "guest" Internet-only access, for example. You can lower the maximum number of associated clients per SSID from the default of 20 and enable AP Isolation, which will keep clients from seeing each other. On the wireless side, the switchable dual-band radio supports four SSID, each with its own security settings. Connection to the web-based administration is via HTTPs by default but can be switched to HTTP. The PIX firewall is a dedicated hardware-based. ![]() Routing features include DHCP reservation, NAT / routing mode, static routes, dynamic DNS clients for TZO and DynDNS, one-to-one NAT, schedulable rule-based firewall, URL-based content filtering, traffic meter and remote management. Cisco Systems offers a number of security solutions for networks, including Cisco Secure PIX Firewall series. The four-port 10/100/1000 port switch has a good set of basic managed switch features including Jumbo Frames (disabled by default), port and tag-based VLANs with inter-VLAN routing, port enable / duplex / speed settings and priority, rate-based and 802.1p QoS for LAN to WAN traffic. It has an all-metal case (except for plastic front panel), upgradeable antennas (RP-SMA connectors) and bottom mounting slots for mounting flexibility. The RV 220W is a PPTP / IPsec / SSL VPN router with Gigabit ports and integrated switchable 2.4 / 5 GHz 802.11n access point positioned for the small business market.Ĭisco has packed a lot into the 220W, which appears to be its new top-of-line SMB wireless router. The Cisco RV 220W Wireless-N VPN Firewall has been added to the Router and Wireless Charts. ![]()
