For a site of five to thirty users — a regional office, a clinic, a depot, a franchise store — this is usually all the network hardware the location needs. The eight Gigabit LAN ports mean workstations, printers, an access point and a security appliance all land directly on the router.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px 0;\"\u003eThe VDSL2\/ADSL2+ modem is the Annex A (over POTS) variant, which is the configuration used on Australian copper services. That makes the C897VAG a straightforward drop-in where a site is still on a DSL tail, without needing a separate carrier modem in bridge mode. Where the site has moved to a fibre or Ethernet handoff, the Gigabit RJ-45\/SFP combo WAN port takes over instead — the same router covers both, which is why these turn up so often in staged NBN migrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px 0;\"\u003eThe 4G LTE side is the differentiator, and it is also the part that needs planning. Configured properly, the cellular interface gives you automatic failover when the fixed line goes down, which is often the whole business case for the model. To use it you will need three things this unit does not include: a pair of SMA cellular antennas, an activated carrier micro-SIM, and confirmation that the router's LTE band support matches your carrier. Treat the LTE radio as a capability you commission, not something that works out of the carton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#0060a9;font-size:17px;margin:26px 0 10px 0;\"\u003eTechnical
