DSR-500N 

Wireless Ser vices Router

The D-Link® Wireless Services Router

D-Link offers a secure, high performance networking 

solution to address the growing needs of small 

businesses. Integrated high-speed IEEE 802.11n 

wireless technology offer comparable performance to 

traditional wired networks, but with fewer limitations. 

Optimal network security is provided via features such 

as virtual private network (VPN) tunnels, IP Security 

(IPSec), Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), Layer 

2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP), and Secure Sockets Layer 

(SSL). Empower your road warriors with clientless remote 

access anywhere and anytime using SSL VPN tunnels.

Comprehensive Management Capabilities

The DSR-500N includes dual-WAN Gigabit Ethernet 

which provides policy-based service management 

ensuring maximum productivity for your business 

operations. The failover feature maintains data traffic 

without disconnecting when a landline connection 

is lost. The Outbound Load Balancing feature

 adjusts 

outgoing traffic across two WAN interfaces and 

optimizes the system performance resulting in high 

availability. The second WAN port can be configured as a 

DMZ port allowing you to isolate servers from your LAN.

Superior Wireless Performance

Designed to deliver superior wireless performance, the 

DSR-500N includes 802.11 b/g/n, allowing for operation 

on the 2.4 GHz radio band. Multiple In Multiple Out 

(MIMO) technology allows the DSR-500N to provide 

high data rates with minimal “dead spots” throughout 

the wireless coverage area.

Robust VPN Features

A fully featured virtual private network (VPN) provides 

your mobile workers and branch offices with a secure 

link to your network. The DSR-500N are capable of 

simultaneously managing 10 Secure Sockets Layer 

(SSL) VPN tunnels respectively, empowering your 

mobile users by providing remote access to a central 

corporate database. Site-to-site VPN tunnels use IP 

Security (IPSec) Protocol, Point-to-Point Tunneling 

Protocol (PPTP), or Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) 

to facilitate branch office connectivity through 

encrypted virtual links. The DSR-500N supports up to 35 

simultaneous VPN tunnels.

Efficient Green Technology

As a concerned member of the global community, 

D-Link is devoted to providing eco-friendly products. 

D-Link Green WiFi and D-Link Green Ethernet save 

power and prevent waste. The D-Link Green WLAN 

scheduler reduces wireless power automatically during 

off-peak hours. Likewise the D-Link Green Ethernet 

program adjusts power usage based on the detected 

cable length and  link status. In addition, compliance 

with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and 

WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) 

directives make D-Link Green certified devices the 

environmentally responsible choice.
