3. Application Scenarios

 

• Used in conjunction with a 4G LTE SIM card, it can support a more flexible connection type than the traditional land line. For those who would like to use a 4G LTE as the backup WAN, ER706W-4G provides a very good solution.

 

• Ensure the security of data transmission between multiple sites. One-click auto IPSec VPN greatly simplifies VPN configuration and facilitates network management and deployment. It also secures and encrypts private site-to-site data communications traveling over the internet.

 

 

• The ER706W-4G V1 offers powerful wireless settings that allow network administrators to customize the wireless setup to meet their specific needs. With these settings, admins can easily manage the wireless network, including configuring the SSID, password, and other parameters to ensure a secure and efficient wireless connection. Additionally, the EAP Mesh feature enables easy formation of the network and reduces costs, making it an ideal solution for businesses of small and middle size.

 

 

• SSL VPN is a VPN remote access technology based on the SSL protocol. Using SSL VPN, mobile office workers can securely and conveniently access the corporate intranet, access corporate intranet resources, and improve work efficiency.

 

 

4. Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q1: What's the WIFI coverage of ER706W-4G?
