General Information

DSL-G2452GR is a multifunction LTE/3G/VDSL/ADSL/Ethernet router with Wi-Fi and built-in
switch. The router allows accessing the Internet via LTE or 3G network (with a USB modem
connected). In addition, the device allows accessing the Internet via VDSL/ADSL technology and
via Ethernet technology.
The router is equipped with a DSL port to connect to a high-speed VDSL line and 4 Ethernet ports
to connect workstations. Due to this feature, DSL-G2452GR represents a moderate-priced solution
for creating wired networks without an additional switch. Any Ethernet port of the device can be
used to connect to a private Ethernet line. In addition, Gigabit Ethernet WAN port enables you to
connect the device to a high-speed Ethernet line. Also the router has a USB port designed to connect
a USB modem, printer, or USB storage.
Using the DSL-G2452GR device, you are able to quickly create a high-speed wireless network at
home or in your office, which lets computers and mobile devices access the Internet virtually
anywhere (within the operational range of your wireless network). Simultaneous activity of 2.4GHz
band and 5GHz band allows performing a wide range of tasks. The router can operate as a base
station for connecting wireless devices of the standards 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and
802.11ac (at the wireless connection rate up to 1167Mbps
The router supports multiple functions for the wireless interface: several security standards (WEP,
WPA/WPA2), MAC address filtering, WPS, WMM.
In addition, the device is equipped with a button for switching the Wi-Fi network off/on. If needed,
for example, when you leave home, you can easily switch the router's WLAN by pressing the
button, and devices connected to the LAN ports of the router will stay online.
Multi-user MIMO technology allows to distribute the router's resources to let multiple wireless
clients use the Wi-Fi network efficiently, keeping high rates for HD media streaming, lag-free
gaming, and fast transfer of large files.
Support of guest Wi-Fi network allows you to create a separate wireless network with individual
security settings and maximum rate limitation. Devices connected to the guest network will be able
to access the Internet, but will be isolated from the devices and resources of the router's LAN.
The wireless router DSL-G2452GR includes a built-in firewall. The advanced security functions
minimize threats of hacker attacks, prevent unwanted intrusions to your network, and block access
to unwanted websites for users of your LAN.
The device is equipped with two FXS ports which allow connection of analog phones for calls via
Internet.
