What is a smart managed router?

A smart managed router is a business-grade networking device that combines advanced traffic management, security, and wireless control in a single unit. Unlike a home router — which simply shares an internet connection — a managed router gives administrators granular control over every device, user, and data flow on the network, with capabilities like VPN, VLAN segmentation, and centralized cloud management. The Hikvision Smart Managed Router also integrates a built-in AP Controller and PoE switch, making it a complete 3-in-1 SMB networking solution.

What does “3-in-1” mean?

The Hikvision Smart Managed Router's 3-in-1 design integrates three devices SMBs would traditionally buy and configure separately: Business Router — multi-WAN load balancing, IPsec/OpenVPN/PPTP/L2TP VPN, VLAN segmentation, guest captive portal. Wireless AP Controller — manages up to 16 Hikvision access points in gateway mode, up to 64 in bypass mode. No separate controller hardware needed. PoE Switch — powers APs and IP cameras over a single Ethernet cable. No separate PoE injectors or power adapters. One device. One management platform. Significantly lower CAPEX and setup complexity.

What VPN protocols does the smart managed router support?

The Hikvision Smart Managed Router supports IPsec, OpenVPN, PPTP and L2TP VPN . IPsec is ideal for stable, high-throughput encrypted tunnels between office or retail branch locations. OpenVPN provides flexible remote access for individual employees working from home or travelling. These protocols are configured and monitored through the HPP cloud platform.

What is multi-WAN load balancing and why does my business need it?

Multi-WAN load balancing allows the smart managed router to distribute traffic to maximize throughput and automatically rerouting if one link drops. For SMBs running POS systems, VoIP calls, cloud applications, or IP cameras, this means fewer disruptions, better performance at peak times, and true business continuity without expensive redundant hardware.

How is the smart managed router managed day-to-day?

All management is through the free Hik Partner-Pro (HPP) cloud platform — accessible from web browser or the HPP mobile app. You can configure network settings, monitor all connected clients, security and networking devices, run diagnostics, and troubleshoot issues remotely — no on-site visit required. NAT traversal also enables remote management of third-party devices. There is no subscription fee for HPP.
