Linksys - Dual WAN Gigabit VPN Router - Black
- Key Specs
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: false (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Number Of LAN Ports: 4 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)
- General
- Brand: Linksys
- Model Number: LRT224
- Product Name: Dual WAN Gigabit VPN Router
- Color: Black
- Security
- Firewall Type: SPI (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
- Network
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Frequency Band: Not Applicable (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: false (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Transport Protocol: PPTP, L2TP, PPPoE (The protocol used for connection-oriented transmissions, flow control, etc. within the transport layer of the network.)
- Certifications Listings & Approvals
- ENERGY STAR Certified: false (Devices carrying the ENERGY STAR service mark, such as computer products and peripherals, kitchen appliances, and other products, generally use 20% to 30% less energy than required by federal standards.)
- Features
- Integrated Modem: false
- Wireless: false
- Ports
- Port Type(s): RJ-45 (USB 2.0 connects external drives, gaming controllers, smartphones, MP3 players and other accessories.USB 3.0 transfers data faster than USB 2.0, but only when used with USB 3.0 devices.USB Type-C provides fast speeds and versatile power, featuring connectors with identical ends that plug in upside down or right side up. Adapters allow for video as well as backward compatibility.Thunderbolt provides ultra-high bandwidth for fast data transfer between devices featuring a Thunderbolt or MiniDisplayPort connection.HDMI allows you to connect a projector or display HD media on your HDTV or monitor.Media card slots allow you to transfer photos from your digital camera or camcorder.)
- Number Of LAN Ports: 4 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)
- Speed
- Wired Speed: 1000 megabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and router using an Ethernet cable.)
- Gigabit Ethernet Speed: true (Supports the gigabit Ethernet networking standard, which has a data rate of at least one gigabit per second, or 1,000 Mbps.)

The Linksys LRT series integrates Gigabit firewall, site-to-site VPN, and various remote access VPN technologies into a single box. With two models to choose from, Linksys Business Gigabit VPN Routers provide secure and reliable network service for employees whether they’re at the office or on the road.
- Up to 1000Mbps data transfer speed: Ensures fast, efficient operation.
- OpenVPN server support: Allows OpenVPN clients running on employees’ laptops, smartphones, and tablets to connect to the offices using two-factor authentication.
- WAN Failover: Supports WAN Failover, which allows a business to continue its network operation when one of its WAN connections to the Internet fails.
- Dual-WAN load balancing: Aggregates bandwidths of both WAN connections to achieve a higher Internet bandwidth than what a single WAN connection can provide.
- Integrated firewall: Supports URL filtering and access rules that allow the administrator to further regulate the traffic within the business network based on the services (i.e. TCP/UDP ports) and source/destination IP addresses.
- 802.1q (VLAN tagging): Keeps resources in different SSIDs/VLANs separated, while allowing specified traffic to traverse between VLANs with inter-VLAN routing.
- Intuitive web administrative interface: Allows small business owners to deploy and manage the routers without professional IT staff onsite.
- Built-in 4-port Ethernet switch: For wired connection of up to four computers.
- SPI firewall, VPN site-to-site and IP address filtering: Advanced security ensures your private information stays private.
- Setup wizard: Quickly and easily guides you through the step-by-step installation process.

A: Hi, Gill. We would like to assist you further with your concern. You can share more details at [email protected] with the link to this post for our reference.
A: Hi, Nova. The LRT224 is a dual WAN router and is capable of supporting 2 ISP. It has a Link Failover feature wherein you can specify the ISP which will serve as the Primary WAN while the 2nd ISP will act as a back-up and will only activate if Primary WAN goes down. If you want to use both ISPs then you can select the Load Balance feature. Check this out to know more about the router: https://www.linksys.com/us/p/P-LRT224/
A: Hi. You can configure the VPN settings on the Linksys LRT224 Dual WAN Business Gigabit VPN Router.
Q: can you configure the WAN port with a /31 subnet
A: Yes, tank. The WAN supports /31 as long as it’s the subnet mask provided by the ISP.
Q: Can i run a wireless access point off this unit
A: Yes, Eddie. Access points should work on this gigabit router.
A: Hello, Rich. The tested IPSEC VPN between the Linksys LRT224 routers and a Mac computer is the client to gateway VPN using IPSecuritas (see link: https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=138322). The Mac computers are also known to work with OpenVPN or Tunnel Blick. Feel free to send us an email at [email protected] if you have other concern so we can assist you accordingly.
