Wireless-AC VPN Router
The Cisco® Small Business RV Series has a long tradition with our partners and
customers. The new Cisco RV160 and RV160W routers continue the tradition with a
blend of performance, security, and quality, plus simple configuration, deployment,
and flexibility.

Product overview
Reliable, secure routing is required for any business, regardless of its size. Like all of the routers in the Cisco Small
Business RV Series, the RV160 and RV160W are perfect for the small business, home office, teleworker, retail,
office, restaurant, small hospitality, medical/dental, real estate, or small branch deployment.

The RV160 and RV160W models are easy to configure and deploy, offer low-touch remote deployment, are
supported by our FindIT network platform, and deliver performance unheard of in a 100-level RV Series model.
The all-new user interface is easy to use and quicker to configure.

These models have a dual-core processor that provides performance usually found only in more expensive
solutions. A Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) WAN port provides flexible connectivity and investment protection.
Like the other models in the portfolio, the RV160 and RV160W include standard features such as a business-grade
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall, VPN security (IP Security [IPsec], Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
[PPTP], and OpenVPN), content filtering, and device wizards to make an easy setup even easier.

The RV160 is a wired model, offering a high-performance user experience at an affordable cost. The RV160W
offers the same plus 2x2 Wireless AC. This all-in-one model offers fantastic wireless performance and range for
the small business and remote office.
