today I have a product that might not be that interesting for the home users but if you work in a small business or if you own your own small business this should be pretty relevant so this is the RV 110 W from Cisco for small business it offers simple secure connectivity for small office and home office it enables faster file transfer using high-speed wireless technology you know 2 point 1 1 n so all that basically means so far is it's a router and it's 802.11 n it's a wireless n router for small business ok let's keep going you can access files on your business network securely while you're away from the office so by using IPSec tunnels using Cisco quick VPN or the quick VPN client you can actually support up to five remote workers using this particular router so that's kind of cool you can also allow guests to access the Internet securely now I've seen the set ups on some of Cisco routers including the valet where they show you how to set up your guest wireless network it's very intuitive and this one unlike some business class routers actually uses an intuitive easy interface so that's another thing that's kind of cool here we go let's see what they have to say for themselves on the side that's the package contents we'll get to that when we open the package and here is a little map of where this fits in to your network so this is a wireless n VPN firewall so basically what they're trying to say is that through the internet through the VPN tunnel you can have remote workers that are securely able to access your work by bypassing the firewall that is built into the router that keeps out your malicious software attacks so that's what this particular diagram means from here it can go out to your IP Phone your network storage your video cameras your wireless printers wireless laptops whatever else the case may be it uses fast ethernet port so you've got a four port hub that's built in Wireless in for wireless and let's see what else they've got on the back here so secure remote access using IPSec VPN technology okay we talked about that already and it is IP six and able to help future-proof your network easy to install and use this we've all talked about so far as well in terms of specifications I actually have a better sheet than this one so we can get into that a little bit after let's get it opened up and find out what you get with the rv1 10w first you get a readme first disk next you get a QuickStart guide in color and you where to plug things in all right next you get the wireless firewall unit itself let's take that guy up we got too many tenants on there so I'll show you I'll show you this in detail a little bit after we get a power adapter pretty typical standard fare all right and finally we get a single Ethernet cable so if you already have a modem then this will be that additional one that you'll need in order to connect the firewall to the modems so let's have a look at the unit itself okay we've got a Cisco logo on the front you want to come in a little bit closer taller yeah okay we got a Cisco logo on the front power LED we've got a WPS setup button so that's really handy to have if you have other WPS supporting devices internet LED we've got a wireless LED land LEDs for the four different ports okay on the side we've got some ventilation holes as well as the Kensington lock remember these are small business skews so these are not necessarily cheap this guy is in the mid 100 some odd range so yes it's an expensive wireless router but it does have technology built in that is not for consumers it's for businesses we've got a reset switch we've got the four ten hundred fast ethernet ports the one ten hundred WAN port so this guy is capable of delivering up to eighty megabit per second between the when and the LAN ports so that's the hardware that we have inside we've also got a power button as well as our power input and the two built-in antenna so those are built in on the other side we find more ventilation holes on the bottom we've got the little wall mount Clips as well as some rubber feet so it doesn't move around and finally on the top we find a Cisco logo so this guy compared to something like it's bigger brother the RV 220 W which I'll get to after supports a very basic number of IPSec connections so only five remote workers it has less thorough put between the when and the LAN ports so this guy right here has a Gigabit LAN port and is capable of delivering up to 800 megabit per second whereas this guy is only 80 megabit per second okay and then finally you don't have support for SSL tn Thoreau put so and there's also no cloud-based web protection what you also do get that you don't get with a consumer based solution though if you're just using consumer routers in your business right now is you get one year of phone tech support with Cisco and a three year warranty on it very few consumers routers are going to come with that much warranty and that much support so thank you for checking out my unboxing and overview of the RV 110 W don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips for unboxings reviews and other computer videos sorry guys one key feature I missed is that it allows you to create separate virtual networks so up to four of them you can divide either your wired or wireless networks into four zones so that they can or cannot have access to each other so that's one way that you can keep your files secure and then obviously I did mention the guest Wi-Fi before that one would not have access to any of your business files and it would just be a straight internet connection for you know someone visiting your company who wants to sit and get some work done while they wait or whatever else the case may be
