The WL-550 (3CRWER101A-75) is a wireless router with one 10/100Base-T WAN port and four 10/100Base-T LAN ports. eXtended Range (XR) technology provides longer-range connectivity for wireless users.

The integrated access point complies with IEEE 802.11g, providing wireless transmission speeds of up to 54Mbps. It is WDS compatible and uses WMM (QoS) to prioritize the traffic over the network.

The router provides VPN pass-through for IPSec and PPTP. A built-in SPI firewall protects the network against hackers and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
