The Pakedge K62U Preconfigured, Multi-VLAN, Gigabit Router and 24-Port Configurable Audio/Video Bridging System; Preloaded with Parental Website Controls and System Antivirus provides the highest levels of audio/video bridging and smart home networking performance, along with easy installation and robust security including Pakedge’s exclusive Parental Website Controls and System Antivirus. The K62U includes the Pakedge R6V router, SW-24GBM fully managed 24-port gigabit Ethernet switch and mounting brackets. It offers extensive connections including 23 VLAN gigabit switch ports to accommodate larger networks, five preconfigured VLANs including a secure guest VLAN, and two fiber ports for longer cable runs. The K62U is designed for easy installation. It comes preconfigured for a wide variety of applications, from basic networks to complex residential systems. If desired, the VLANs can be easily reprogrammed via any network port. The K62U also provides dual WAN (Wide Area Network) ports for ensuring Internet redundancy, and a DMZ port, for easy connection of web servers, ftp servers or gaming consoles without additional configuration. The K62U’s gigabit speed delivers the fastest possible network and WAN speeds to ensure reliable audio/video bridging performance for all connected devices. The Pakedge K62U provides extremely high parental and security protection, thanks to its UTM Unified Threat Management functionality that blocks viruses, questionable websites and other unwanted content at the router before it can get past the firewall. UTM lets parents select three levels of user access (for example, teens and adults can access social media but younger children can’t). UTM blocks unwanted website groups for the entire home and blocks selected devices from questionable websites. The K62U includes additional pro-active security services that provide superior protection against phishing and pharming and other threats. Security scanning is done within hardware rather than software, for increased network speed.

Features

The Pakedge K62U is specifically designed for custom-installation applications, unlike other manufacturers' products that are not optimized for audio/video bridging and smart home networking. It is an enterprise-grade product that is engineered to provide the highest levels of reliability and performance. The K62U is designed to make installation easy, with features like preconfigured VLANs, color-coded rear-panel jacks that enable a faster, cleaner installation in an A/V rack without any messy wires protruding from the front, and quiet operation that enables the K62U to be placed in an equipment rack or entertainment cabinet without disturbing anyone with unwanted noise. The K62U incorporates Pakedge's exclusive UTM Unified Threat Management capability, which blocks viruses and unwanted websites before they ever reach the network. This feature provides a high degree of security eliminating the need for store bought software at the gateway level. It also allows parents to select different levels of password-protected access for different users. Visitors who bring their devices into the home, such as a teenage daughter's friend, will also be blocked from accessing unwanted content. The K62U also enables the installer to set up a guest network apart from the main network, and control the level of access that guest users have. All cables are installed from the back. This feature was pioneered by Pakedge and unique to the custom-installation market, and enables a clean, uncluttered installation in a structured wiring panel, equipment rack, cabinet or on a shelf. Blue front-panel LED status indicators provide real-time status monitoring.
