Dual WAN VPN Router
TX-201 connects your office to two internet providers at once. If one line fails, it moves to the other in under a second. WireGuard links your branches, and the built-in SoftEther client carries your SIP trunk.
Two internet lines, one secure network
WireGuard + SoftEther VPN
Two lines are better than one.
One internet line is a single point of failure for your calls, your branch links and your business. TX-201 runs two providers side by side, so work carries on when one of them doesn't.
Encrypted and protected
WireGuard and SoftEther tunnels, plus a built-in firewall and port forwarding for access control.
Automatic switch-over
When one line drops, traffic moves to the second line in under a second. No one has to touch a cable.
Gigabit, load balanced
Gigabit WAN and LAN ports, with traffic shared across both lines while both are up.
Wizard and dashboard
A set-up wizard and web dashboard, with remote management and live status for each line.
How it works
TX-201 sits between your two internet connections and your office network. It picks the best line, and keeps the VPN tunnels open on whichever line is up.
Connect two internet lines
Plug the first provider's ONU or modem into WAN1 on the front, and the second into WAN2 on the rear. Fibre, DSL or 4G.
Connect your office
Plug the LAN port into the office switch. The IP PBX, PCs and printers all sit behind TX-201.
Turn on the tunnels
WireGuard joins each branch TX-201. The SoftEther client logs in to the provider's VPN server and routes the SIP trunk through it.
Only office-to-office traffic and the SIP trunk travel in the tunnels. Websites and e-mail go straight out over whichever line is up.
Two VPNs, two jobs
Each tunnel carries only what it is meant to. Both reconnect on the other line if one goes down.
Head office ↔ branch
- One key pair per site
- Head-office and branch LANs work as one network
- Branch PCs and IP phones reach the head-office PBX
- Rides whichever line is up
TX-201 ↔ provider's VPN server
- SSL-VPN over TCP port 443
- Certificate and key login, one account per site
- Carries SIP signalling and RTP voice to the provider only
- Reconnects on the other line automatically
