TRENDnet's Gigabit Multi-WAN VPN Business Router, model TWG-431BR, features internet WAN load balancing, a network fail-safe backup, and encrypted Virtual Private Network (VPN) access for remote users. Improve peak-network-loading performance and eliminates network downtime with the use of the VPN router's multiple WAN ports. Smooth network loading, minimize network downtime, and allow employees to access your network from the Internet—all with a single router. The VPN router features advanced management, high availability, QoS, VLAN, VPN, and other capabilities to ensure optimal performance, scalability, and protection of your network. Advanced SPI, NAT and SNAT protects against Internet attacks.

Multi-WAN

Connect up to four separate WAN internet connections to efficiently load-balance traffic by distributing network traffic to the best available link.

A diagram showing a virtual private network (VPN) connection over the internet. On the left, there’s an icon for ‘Headquarters’ with a tall building and a smaller adjacent structure, connected by a solid line to a cloud labeled ‘INTERNET’. Within this cloud, there’s a ‘VPN Tunnel’ with a padlock symbol, indicating encryption. The VPN tunnel extends from the headquarters to two other icons on the right: one labeled ‘Branch Office’, depicted as another tall building, and another labeled ‘Remote User’, represented by a laptop with a human figure. The connection to the branch office is shown as a solid line while the connection to the remote user is dashed, suggesting different types of connections or access levels. This image illustrates how VPNs securely connect multiple sites and remote users to a central headquarters over the internet.

VPN Router

The VPN router creates an encrypted VPN tunnel to access local area network resources remotely using IPSec, PPTP, L2TP w/ IPsec, and SSL VPN protocols.

High Availability

Group multiple TWG-431BR routers together to create a high availability network with router redundancy to minimize downtime.

The office is divided into three VLANs: Technical Support VLAN, Engineering VLAN, and Marketing VLAN. Each VLAN is highlighted in blue and labeled accordingly

Multi-WAN

Supports up to four separate WAN internet connections for load-balancing or fault-tolerance modes

VPN Router

The VPN router supports IPsec, PPTP, L2TP w/ IPsec, and SSL VPN protocols for encrypted remote access to local area network (LAN) resources over the internet
