Overview

THE PRI-885 IS THE HIGHEST PERFORMANCE AND THROUGHPUT OF ANY RISC BASED MULTIWAN ROUTER

It is 3 times the performance of PRI-684 at less than twice the price. It has the most power for demanding environments such as educational institutions, printing companies, architectual firms, government offices, Games cafe,...etc.

The PRI-885 includes all the functions and merits of the PRI-684 plus:
  PRI-885 PRI-684

Get Industrial Strength Load-balancing and Fault-tolerance for Non-stop Access to Your Self-hosted Internet Servers

The most unique feature of the Edimax's Professional and Industrial grade PRI-885 PentaWAN broadband routers is the support for inbound load-balancing. This is the critical feature that enables you to have reliable, fail-safe, self-hosting of Internet servers. Inbound load balancing is with respect to the PRI-885, whereby Internet service requests are incoming to the PRI-885 (Inbound) to access your Internet Web servers on the LAN. We are the only manufacturer in the world that has a Inbound load balancing Quad WAN router. If you have your own Web server, mail server, and FTP server, then using the PRI-885 is a smart choice because by using multi-WAN, it will provide additional bandwidth as well as non-stop fail-safe redundancy. You will have the same capabilities as multi-million dollar web hosting company, i.e. higher upload bandwidth and bulletproof, fail-safe redundancy.

Replace your costly T1 or E1 monthly fee with multiple WAN Lines and the PermaLINK PRI-885

The PermaLINK PRI-885 "paid-for-itself" in 2 months by replacing your expensive T1 or E1 monthly fee with low cost ADSL or Cable Lines. You'll also get better performance and non-stop fault tolerance as well as substantial money saved every month.

Increasing Internet Speed is as simple as 1 + 1 = 2

The advent of widespread broadband accesses makes the business case, that two links is better than one?in fact, the more the better. With multiple WAN connections and the PRI-885, you will get the effective combined Quad-WAN speeds for all your LAN users. You will also get a redundant, fault-tolerant, and fail-over capability to insure that you will have non-stop Internet access when some of the ISP?s link is down. If you have five WAN connections from different ISPs, it would be exceeding rare for all 5 WANs to be disconnected simultaneously. To some businesses this reliable connection is vital because the downtime of even just a few minutes is equal to quite a bit of revenue loss. That is why we named our product PermaLINK

In addition to the standard features of a professional grade router, our PRI-885 has the following exclusive features:

  • Supports up to 5 WAN ports
  • Has a Built-in DNS Server providing inbound load balancing
  • Supports both Inbound and outbound load balancing
  • Performs Outbound load balancing by session, weight round robin or traffic
  • Includes Quality of Service (QoS) control
  • Sends Email alert
