Router LANCOM 1800EFW (EU) Dual-band IEEE 802.11

The LANCOM 1800EFW (EU) is a dual-band SD-WAN gateway and router that combines high-performance Wi‑Fi 6 with flexible wired WAN connectivity. It supports direct fiber connections via an SFP port as well as Gigabit Ethernet WAN, provides up to 1,200 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and up to 575 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band, and integrates award-winning LANCOM IPSec VPN and SD‑WAN functions to securely interconnect multiple sites and mobile users.

Advantages

The device offers high-speed Internet access through either an SFP fiber module or a Gigabit Ethernet WAN port, centralized SD‑WAN management including automated secure VPN setup (Auto‑VPN) and features such as High Scalability VPN and Advanced Mesh VPN for scalable site interconnection. It supports simultaneous dual‑band Wi‑Fi 6 for modern and legacy clients, includes a stateful inspection firewall with intrusion prevention and DoS protection, and provides multiple isolated IP contexts for advanced routing. Five integrated IPSec VPN channels are available by default and can be expanded to up to 25 with an option. The hardware and software are developed with long-term updates and security measures to ensure future-proof operation.

Suitable for

• Small company sites and branch offices requiring high data throughput
• Locations with FTTH or fiber connections and sites using Gigabit Ethernet WAN
• Environments with mobile employees and home offices needing secure VPN access
• Installations that require centralized SD‑WAN management and automated VPN provisioning
• Offices that need reliable Wi‑Fi 6 coverage for mixed client devices

Key specifications

How to use

Install the LANCOM 1800EFW in your network rack or on a desktop and connect the desired WAN interface — either insert a compatible SFP module for direct fiber (FTTH) or connect an external modem via the Gigabit Ethernet WAN port. Attach the external antennas and connect LAN devices to the RJ‑45 LAN ports or provide wireless access using the integrated dual‑band Wi‑Fi 6. Use the LANCOM Management Cloud or the device management interface to configure SD‑WAN, enable Auto‑VPN for site interconnection, set up IPSec channels, and define firewall and routing policies to match your network architecture.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use a certified SFP module for your fiber connection and keep the device firmware up to date. Enable SD‑WAN features together with the LANCOM Management Cloud for automated VPN provisioning and dynamic path selection to maximize bandwidth and failover capabilities. Expand VPN channels via the LANCOM VPN Option if additional site connections are required.
