The PLANET 802.11n Wireless VDSL2 Router, VC-230N, applies 2T2R MIMO antenna technology and provides office and residential users the ideal solution for sharing a high-speed VDSL2 broadband connection and four-10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet backbone. The VC-230N is developed with three core networking technologies: IEEE 802.11b/g/n, Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line 2). Via VDSL 2 technology, the VC-230N offers very high performance access to Internet, up to 100Mbps for both downstream and upstream data transmission. VDSL2 offers the absolute fastest data transmission speed over existing copper telephone lines without the need for rewiring.
The VC-230N complies with ITU-T G993.2 standard and provides two modes for network applications – Bridge and Router. With built-in IEEE 802.11b/g and 802.11n wireless network capability, the VC-230N allows any computer and wireless-enabled network device connect to it without additional cabling. 802.11n Draft 2.0 wireless capability brings users the highest speed of wireless experience ever; the data transmission rate can be as high as 300Mbps. The radio coverage is also doubled to offer high speed wireless connection even in wide space at your office or house.
To secure wireless communication, the VC-230N supports most up-to-date encryption, WEP, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. Moreover, the VC-230N supports WPS configuration with PBC/PIN type for users easily connect to a secured wireless network.
There are two selectable VDSL2 operating modes of VC-230N: CO and CPE, which can be adjusted by Web UI. Users can setup Point-to-Point application by connecting two VC-230N, in which one in CO mode and another one in CPE mode, to transmit data in high speed between two networks over existing copper telephone lines.
The VC-230N provides user-friendly management interface to be managed easily through standard web browsers. For networking management features, the VC-230N not only provides basic router functions such as DHCP server, Virtual Server, DMZ, QoS, and UPnP, but also provides full firewall functions including Network Address Translation (NAT), IP/Port/MAC Filtering and Content Filtering. Furthermore, the VC-230N serves as an Internet firewall to protect your network from being accessed by unauthorized users.
Peer-to-Peer Network Connection A pair of two VC-230N (or VC-230) can act as a standalone pair for Ethernet distance extension over existing telephone wires. With just one pair of AWG-24 copper wire, you can easily connect two Ethernet networks together with the data rate of maximum 100/100Mbps. Meanwhile, telephone service can still be used while the modems are in operation.
Very High-Speed Internet Connection with Wired / Wireless The VC-230N is the perfect solution for a small group of PCs accessing very high-speed broadband Internet connection simultaneously. With VDSL 2 standard network deployment, it supports downstream and upstream rates both up to 100 Mbps.
