FAQ
What broadband technologies does this Cisco router support?
The Cisco 867VAE router supports both ADSL2+ and VDSL2 broadband transmission technologies. This dual compatibility ensures it works with a wide range of DSL service providers using either ADSL2+ (up to 24 Mbps downstream) or VDSL2 (up to 100 Mbps downstream) standards over basic telephone service lines, making it versatile for various internet service environments.
How many network devices can I connect directly to this router?
This router provides five Fast Ethernet ports, allowing you to connect up to five wired network devices directly. These RJ-45 ports support transfer rates up to 100 Mb/sec, suitable for computers, printers, network storage, and other Ethernet-enabled devices. For additional connections, you would need to add a network switch to expand port capacity.
Does this router support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, the Cisco 867VAE does not include Power over Ethernet capabilities. The RJ-45 ports are standard Fast Ethernet ports that provide data connectivity only. If you need to power devices like VoIP phones or wireless access points through Ethernet cables, you will require separate PoE injectors or a PoE switch in your network setup.
What are the installation options for this router?
This router offers flexible installation with both desktop and rack-mountable form factors. For desktop use, it can be placed on any flat surface as a standalone unit. For rack installation, it can be mounted in standard 19-inch server racks using appropriate mounting hardware (not included). The compact dimensions of 9.5" wide × 9" deep × 1.75" high make it suitable for various office environments.
What security features does this router include?
The primary security feature is VPN (Virtual Private Network) support, which allows creating secure encrypted tunnels over public networks for remote access. This enables secure connections to office networks from remote locations. The router does not include advanced security features like built-in firewalls or intrusion prevention systems, so additional security appliances may be needed for comprehensive network protection.
