Araknis Networks AN-220-RT Single-WAN Router Multi-Gigabit VPN

Fast Multi-Gig Routing for Modern Networks

The Araknis AN-220-RT is a compact single-WAN multi-gigabit router designed for homes, offices, AV systems, smart-home networks, and security systems that need faster wired routing, VLAN segmentation, VPN access, firewall protection, and remote network management.

It is part of the Araknis Networks ecosystem and works as the network gateway between your modem or ISP connection and the rest of your wired and wireless network.

2.5 Gigabit WAN and LAN

• 1 × 2.5G BASE-T RJ45 WAN port
• 1 × 2.5G BASE-T RJ45 LAN port
• Multi-gigabit WAN-to-LAN support up to 2.5Gbps
• Auto-sensing and auto-negotiating Ethernet interfaces

The 2.5GbE WAN port supports internet services above 1Gbps, while the 2.5GbE LAN connection can feed a compatible network switch without immediately limiting the network to a 1Gbps uplink.

4.3Gbps Stateful Firewall Throughput

• Stateful firewall throughput: up to 4300Mbps
• Stateful Packet Inspection
• Denial-of-Service prevention
• SYN flood protection
• Port forwarding
• Port triggering
• MAC/IP filtering and access controls

The published 4.3Gbps firewall figure is a manufacturer maximum under test conditions. Real-world performance depends on internet service, network configuration, traffic type, VPN use, and connected hardware.

OpenVPN and PPTP Remote Access

• OpenVPN throughput: up to 600Mbps
• Up to 20 OpenVPN tunnels
• PPTP throughput: up to 275Mbps
• Up to 5 PPTP tunnels
• IPSec and PPTP passthrough

The AN-220-RT does not support IPSec VPN termination. IPSec passthrough is supported for compatible devices behind the router.

If you need dual-WAN redundancy or higher-performance IPSec VPN support, compare the Araknis AN-520-RT.

VLAN and Advanced Routing

• IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support
• Inter-VLAN routing
• Static routing
• QoS
• DHCP server and reservations
• DDNS and local DNS
• 1:1 NAT
• Port Address Translation
• DMZ host
• IPv6 support
• IP/MAC access control
• IP bandwidth control

VLANs can help separate security cameras, guest devices, AV equipment, smart-home devices, and computers while keeping them on the same physical network infrastructure.

Embedded OvrC Pro

OvrC and OvrC Pro are built into the AN-220-RT for compatible remote monitoring, configuration, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and visibility into other IP devices on the network.

The router can also be managed through its local web interface.

Supports Up to 1024 DHCP Clients

Araknis specifies a maximum of 1024 DHCP clients. This is a technical addressing capacity rather than a guarantee that 1024 heavily active devices can operate simultaneously without additional network planning.

No Built-In Wi-Fi

The AN-220-RT is a dedicated wired router and does not include Wi-Fi. Add one or more wireless access points based on the size and layout of the property.

Using separate access points allows the router to remain in a rack or structured wiring location while Wi-Fi equipment is positioned where coverage is actually needed.

No Built-In PoE Switching

The router does not provide PoE outputs. If your network includes wireless access points, IP cameras, intercoms, or other PoE devices, use a compatible PoE network switch.

Single-WAN Design

The AN-220-RT has one WAN interface and does not provide dual-ISP failover or load balancing. If internet redundancy is required, the AN-520-RT is the more appropriate Araknis option.

Compact and Fanless

• Fanless operation
• Dimensions: 6.69 × 1.18 × 6.69 inches
• Weight: approximately 1.43 lb
• 1U rack spacing with included mounting hardware
• Rack, desktop, VersaPlate, structured wiring can, and wall mounting supported
• Operating temperature: 32°F to 104°F

Power and Included Accessories

• External power supply
• Idle power consumption: approximately 1.62W
• Maximum power consumption: approximately 10.82W
• Rack-mount kit
• Rubber feet
• Structured wiring mounting hardware
• VersaPlate mounting hardware

For better uptime, consider protecting the router, modem, switches, and other network equipment with an appropriate power management solution.

Complete the Network

• Network switches
• Wireless access points
• Power management

Need Help Planning Your Network?

Send Bear Security Shop your internet speed, device count, Wi-Fi coverage requirements, security-camera setup, and VPN needs. We can help confirm whether the AN-220-RT and the right switch and access points fit your network.

Does this router include built-in Wi-Fi?

No. This is a wired professional router. If you need Wi-Fi coverage, pair it with one or more wireless access points.

Is this a good router for small business networks?

Yes. It is a strong fit for small offices, retail spaces, studios, and other business networks that need secure routing, VLAN control, VPN access, and remote management.

Can I use this router for a security camera system?

Yes. It can work well as the main router for a camera system when paired with the right PoE switch, NVR, and network layout. It is especially useful when remote support and network visibility matter.

Does this router support multi-gigabit speeds?

Yes. It includes 2.5G WAN and 2.5G LAN interfaces, which makes it a good fit for higher-speed wired network setups.

Is this a dual-WAN router?

No. This model is a single-WAN router. If you need dual-WAN, ISP failover, or load balancing, you should review a higher-level router model.

Does it support VPN?

Yes. The AN-220-RT supports OpenVPN and PPTP. The 220 series does not support IPSec.

How many VLANs does it support?

The AN-220 router series supports up to 32 VLANs, which can help segment traffic for devices such as cameras, guest networks, business devices, and smart home systems.

Do I still need a network switch?

Most likely, yes. This router has one LAN interface, so larger wired networks usually need a separate switch for additional devices, access points, cameras, and NVRs.

What is the benefit of OvrC Pro?

OvrC Pro gives better remote visibility, monitoring, and troubleshooting for the network. This is useful for managed installs, support teams, and professional low-voltage projects.

Where can it be installed?

It can be installed in racks, structured wiring cans, wall-mounted setups, shelves, and compact network locations when installed with proper airflow and cable routing.
