Many homes or small businesses have high-speed internet and multiple computers, and users are facing challenges like remote access, directory management and network security. To solve similar problems at large enterprises, skilled administrators can deploy very expensive and complex tools like VPN, domain controller and corporate firewall. But home or small business users do not have the right tools that fit their needs.

Product Overview

NeoRouter is the ideal Remote Access and VPN solution for small businesses and home. It helps you manage and connect to all your computers from anywhere. It gracefully integrates Remote Access, File Sharing, Virtual Private Network, User and Access Management.

Many small businesses or homes have high-speed internet and multiple computers, and users are facing challenges like remote access, directory management and network security. To solve similar problems at large enterprises, skilled administrators can deploy very expensive and complex tools like VPN, domain controller and corporate firewall. But small business or home users do not have the right tools that fit their needs.

Our mission is to provide low-cost zero-configuration networking solutions for small businesses and homes. This is why we have built NeoRouter.
