details: 125M Broad Range Wireless Router
hardware type: Wireless Router
date added: 2009-12-04
updated: 2012-08-08
The WL-520gC is a wireless router with a single 10/100Base-T WAN port and four 10/100Base-T LAN ports. It also features a Download machine and UPnP Media Server.

The integrated access point complies with the IEEE 802.11b/g standards. It supports WEP and WPA/WPA2 wireless encryption and uses WMM (QoS) to prioritize the traffic over the network. "BroadRange" technology provides 300% more coverage and 135% faster speeds when compared to 802.11g. For best result, the client device should support this technology as well.

The router provides VPN pass-through for IPSec, L2TP and PPTP. It features a built-in SPI firewall to protect the network from malicious attacks.
