TP-Link TD-W8960N

details: 300Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Router
hardware type: DSL Wireless Router
date added: 2009-10-04
updated: 2013-07-18
The TD-W8960N combines an ADSL2+ modem, 4-port Ethernet router and 802.11n wireless access point. It supports the latest ADSL2/2+ standards to provide network speeds of up to 24Mbps. An Ethernet WAN (EWAN) port offers another broadband connectivity option for connecting to Cable, VDSL or Fiber modems.

The integrated access point can operate in wireless bridge mode, as well. It supports WEP, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK wireless encryption to prevent unauthorized wireless access into your network.

This router supports VPN pass-through for IPSec, PPTP and L2TP, allowing you to establish up to 10 simultaneous IPSec tunnels. A built-in SPI firewall protects the network against malicious attacks.
