Firewall & segmentation
Stateful firewall. 802.1Q VLANs, NAT, GeoIP, address groups. Guest, camera and server networks stay apart without extra boxes.
Firewall, router, VPN concentrator. Same system. No per-feature fees, no module unlocked later for extra.
One compromised device on a flat network means the whole network is compromised. Segmentation makes the damage stop at the VLAN edge.
A cheap camera that gets popped has a direct path to the database. Nothing stands in the way.
The same camera still gets popped. It just has no route into VLAN 10, and that is where it stops.
Stateful firewall. 802.1Q VLANs, NAT, GeoIP, address groups. Guest, camera and server networks stay apart without extra boxes.
IPsec IKEv2, WireGuard, OpenVPN. Between branches, out to remote staff, across to your provider.
Static, policy-based and dynamic routing over OSPF and BGP. Multi-WAN failover. An HA pair keeps sessions alive.
IDS/IPS engine, DNS filtering, IP reputation. Rule sets refreshed on a schedule, not once at install.
Shaping and limits per VLAN, per host, per application. A video call does not lose to a download.
LDAP, Active Directory, RADIUS. TOTP two-factor. An internal certificate authority.
Traffic logs, usage reporting, an audit trail for every change made through the interface.
A design decision, not a limitation. Safe updates run on your schedule. The ones that can drop traffic get scheduled together.
Every update from the interface lands in the device audit log: who, when, result.
Sizing guidance by user count, network cards and storage.
