Objective

The Cisco RV132W ADSL2+ Wireless-N VPN Router offers great performance and is easy to set up, deploy, and use. This device can be used to connect to a regular Ethernet Wide Area Network (WAN) interface or to an Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line 2 plus (ADSL2+) interface. It also supports Cisco FindIT Network Management, which allows you to manage supported Cisco devices, such as Cisco switches, routers, and wireless access points.
