How to use

Mount the appliance in a suitable network location and connect WAN and LAN interfaces according to your topology. Configure basic parameters using the device's web-based or console management interface: set up WAN addressing, define LAN subnets, and enable firewall policies to control inbound and outbound traffic. Create VPN profiles for remote users or site-to-site links, selecting AES-based encryption and appropriate authentication methods. If using the integrated Wi‑Fi, configure SSIDs, security modes, and radio settings for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to match client capabilities.

Usage recommendations

Regularly update firmware and apply security patches, enforce strong authentication for administrative access, and monitor VPN and firewall logs to detect anomalies. For optimal performance, align firewall rules with minimal required services and separate guest wireless access from internal networks.
