welcome to my unboxing of the Cisco small-business RV 220 W this is a wireless and network security firewall which basically means that it is a highly secure and high performance high reliability it has a lifetime warranty okay router with a firewall for small business so why don't we go ahead and have a look at what's included with it first and then we'll talk about it a little more and maybe do some quick comparisons to its little little brother the RV 110 W so the first thing we find is a read this first disc you might want to read that first okay next we have a QuickStart guide shows you how to mount it to the wall and plug some cables into it these are all good things next we have a lead the female has my feet so that would be in French next we have the firewall unit itself I'm going to go ahead and pull that out for now and then we'll see what other accessories we can find in the eco-friendly packaging by the way very nice appreciate that always helps when everyone's doing their part to save the environment and I mean this actually is oftentimes more expensive to produce than a phone based insert because someone has to actually fold this believe it or not so so yeah getting the guys made up for for the packaging for something like this is not not cheap it does cost money to be eco-friendly this thing feels like a tank holy smokes alright so the RV 220 W let's have a look at the unit itself before we talk about what makes it special I'm going to throw these antennas on here on the back comes with two antennas these are user replaceable so you could swap them out for other antennas should you desire okay so the front of the unit here we have a power LED we have a diagnostic LED we have a demilitarized zone indicator we have a wireless indicator we've also got indicators for the speed of the various land port so these go up to gigabit and the LAN port is also gigabit what part of what makes this guy special is it is capable according to Cisco spec of delivering up to 800 megabit per second throughput between the land and the land ports so what that means is you could have an internet connection that is almost gigabit down and you would be able to fully almost fully utilize it using a router such as this one we've got some ventilation holes on this side we've got some ventilation holes on the other side here on the bottom we find some rubber non-slip feet as well as options to mount it on the wall either this way or this way whatever you should desire and then on the back we find a power switch our power input which dinner not even show you the power adapter in the ethernet cable it comes with sorry about that guys there they are our four LAN ports so as I mentioned before gigabit and our Gigabit LAN port as well as a hard reset button now this guy also has 802.11 2.4 gigahertz five gigahertz dual band wireless and so you can obviously use it for wireless although the performance you're going to get out of this is going to be predominantly wired because it is a gigabit router but if you are using Wireless in your office it can be handy to have that option as well and then let's talk a little bit about some of the other features that it has that make it neat so they are v2 20w because it's for business and every business needs reliability is all about security and reliability you do not want downtime so between the Cisco forum which is an online support community for small businesses to come together and talk to other Cisco customers and partners you can get support that way you also have support directly from Cisco on a product like this and compared to its little brother you have the same security features including hybrid VPN with SSL and IPSec capabilities but more so so for example where the rv1 10w supports only five IPSec connections this little guy while little guy should really say it's a little guy weighs like a couple pounds actually supports 25 connections and it also has as I mentioned before a limited lifetime warranty whereas it's littler brother at about a third of the price only has a three-year warranty and I shouldn't really say only because most consumer routers only come one year warranties so thank you for checking out my first look at the RV 220 W don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from unboxings reviews and other computer videos
