Product Overview
The Cisco®
WRV210 Wireless-G VPN Router (Figure 1) is a VPN router with an integrated
wireless access point for small offices and home offices. The 10/100
Ethernet WAN interface connects directly to your broadband DSL or cable
modem. The LAN interface consists of a built-in 4-port, full-duplex 10/100
Ethernet switch that can connect up to four devices. The wireless access
point supports 802.11b/g and incorporates RangeBooster technology, which
utilizes multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) antennas to provide
increased coverage and reliability.
The dream shattered like a glass. Aleksandar woke up with his cheek pressed against the book, a small drool stain on the page where Marko’s name was written. The clock showed 6:00 AM.
He read the entire epic in one hour. But he didn't just read it—he lived it.
"Imagine you are the strongest person in the world. You can lift a horse. You can crush a rock with your hand. But one day, you look in a stream and see that your hair is gray. Your friends are gone. Your sword is rusty. And a little fairy appears and tells you: 'It's time.' That is Marko’s story. It's not about fighting. It's about saying goodbye."
From that day on, Aleksandar never skipped lektira again. He realized that every old book is just a dream waiting for someone to fall into it. And every great story, if told right, can grow wings.
Then it happened.
And so Marko told him. Not the dry verses about battles and dates, but the real story. He told him about his loyal horse, Šarac, who could understand human speech. He told him about the sadness of being the strongest man alive—how every victory felt hollow, how every friend eventually became an enemy. He told him about the moment he realized his time had passed, when his mace felt too heavy and the world no longer needed heroes with swords.
He dreamed he was standing on a misty plain under a gray sky. In front of him stood a giant of a man, with a bushy mustache, a wolf-skin cap, and a heavy mace over his shoulder. It was Marko Kraljević himself.
Marko laughed, a sound like rocks tumbling down a mountain. "Old? I am older than your grandfather’s grandfather. And yet, I am still here. Sit down, boy. Let me tell you what the book doesn't say."
Wireless networking in business environments requires flexibility. The Cisco
WRV210 can expand or reduce the area of your wireless network via a wireless
distribution system (WDS), which allows you to expand your network by
connecting select Cisco standalone access points, without the need for
additional wiring. This capability, along with the ability to increase or
decrease the RF output power, allows for optimal wireless coverage.
The WRV210"s support for wireless QoS (Wi-Fi Multimedia [WMM]) and wired QoS
(port prioritization) helps maintain consistent voice and video quality
throughout your network.

The maximum performance for wireless is derived from IEEE Standard
802.11 specifications. Actual performance can vary, including lower wireless
network capacity, data throughput rate, range, and coverage. Performance
depends on many factors, conditions, and variables, including distance from
the access point, volume of network traffic, building materials and
construction, operating system used, mix of wireless products used,
interference, and other adverse conditions.
Check the product package and contents for specific features supported.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
