Allied Telesis TQR Series Wireless Routers: Getting Started with the Device GUI

Introduction

The Allied Telesis TQR Series Wireless Routers offer high-speed Wi-Fi 6/6E connectivity and secure Internet access through a built-in VPN router. This integrated design provides a simplified yet robust network solution suitable for small businesses and multi-location enterprises like retail stores and cafes.
