QNAP QHora-321 6-Port 2.5GbE SD-WAN Router

Efficient Wired Networking Performance

The QHora-321 provides six 2.5GbE ports (compatible with 2.5G/1G/100M) for high-speed wired networking performance. In default mode, the first port from the left is WAN and each network port is independent. To set the ports to the same network segment, configure them using the QuRouter OS.

WAN/LAN Flexible Deployment

As a next-generation router, every port of the QHora-321 gives you flexible high-speed LAN/WAN deployment.

Wired Network Deployment for Every Scenario

IoT Direct-to-Device Connectivity
Directly connect individual IoT devices to the QHora-321 through independent network segments, so that different devices can operate smoothly together.

Note: Each network port and network segment are independent by default.

High-Speed LAN
Set multiple LAN ports in one LAN using the QuRouter OS. A high-speed Intranet is ideal for large file transfer or communication between workstations.

VLAN Network Slicing
Use the VLAN function to segment domains for different applications, so that multiple applications can connect to the network through a single network port.

Auto Mesh Multi-Site VPN
Enable QuWAN SD-WAN at multi-site QHora-321 and multi-points will automatically form a Mesh VPN network, providing a simpler and faster multi-point secure connection solution.

Secure Access to Your NAS

To secure your remote access and prevent potential attacks, it is highly recommended to connect the QHora-321 in front of your NAS device. The NAT (Network Address Translation) enables private network security by hiding the actual IP address used in the private network from users outside the firewall.

Mesh VPN + HBS = Easy and Secure Remote NAS Backup

Through the QuWAN cloud platform, the QHora-321 can automatically establish a mesh VPN network with other QNAP devices to quickly deploy a mesh VPN environment. To effectively complete remote backup tasks for your organization, use the Hybrid Backup Sync (HBS) app in QNAP NAS to easily back up or sync NAS data to another NAS, remote server, or the cloud. Build your 3-2-1 backup up strategy and prevent data loss with HBS now.

A Modern Design for Every Usage Environment

The QHora-321 has near-silent operation. Even when connected to multiple devices, it maintains dependable performance for office and home use. With a modern appearance and highly effective cooling, the QHora-321 fits perfectly alongside other devices in modern digital homes and offices.

Network Security Solution

Secure local NAS devices
QHora supports L3 firewall, NAT, and Port Forwarding to improve LAN Security.

Secure Remote Devices
QHora at different sites enables interconnected Mesh VPN topology via SD-WAN for secure access to your NAS.

Secure End Devices
Mobile devices can securely access NAS data via the QVPN service (supports OpenVPN, L2TP, and QNAP's proprietary QBelt VPN protocols) offered by QHora.

Secure NAS Applications
Cross-site NAS data transfers, such as file backup, synchronization, and sharing, are protected within the SD-WAN network.

QuRouter OS: User-Friendly Router Management

The QHora-321 uses the QuRouter OS, providing a user-friendly web-based GUI, at-a-glance dashboard, and port indicators to assist in everyday network management tasks. With the QuRouter OS, not only can users efficiently manage all connected wired and wireless devices in real-time, but they can also configure the firewall, VPN, security, and QuWAN advanced functions.

User-Friendly VPN Setup

The traditional multi-site VPN setup is extremely time-consuming and requires subsequent maintenance work. The QHora-321 is equipped with QNAP's next-generation QuWAN SD-WAN technology to greatly simplify installation. Setting up a VPN no longer requires additional fixed IP application as local and remote configuration information can be automatically exchanged through the Cloud Orchestrator. In this case, IT professionals can complete VPN setup with minimal user intervention.

• Use the PPPoE connection provided by your ISP to set up WAN. After setting the PPPoE connection, you can obtain a public IP instead of applying for a dedicated line or fixed IP.
• Open QuWAN settings and sign in to your QNAP Account.
• Select the organization/region/site where the device will be added (you can add all devices to the preset organization/region/site by default).
• Access the remote site machine to set the remote site IP (it cannot be identical to the local site IP; the default IP segment on the LAN side is 192.168.100.1, you can change the remote default IP to 192.168.200.1 segment).
• Repeat steps 1-3 at the remote site. Complete the VPN setup, then log in and check the VPN status.

Centralized QuWAN Orchestrator for Efficient Cloud Management

QuWAN Orchestrator is a powerful and convenient centralized network management cloud platform, enabling IT staff to remotely deploy and manage edge network devices. Its Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) allows IT staff to easily build a large-scale WAN remotely and without the assistance of personnel at each location. IT staff can also monitor bandwidth, set parameters, and analyze network traffic on a single platform, making it perfect for multi-site, multinational network management and maintenance. Connected to the QHora-321 via wired or wireless connections, client devices can easily access the SD-WAN network.

QVPN: Secure Communication with Remote Devices

The QHora-321 incorporates both the VPN server and client capabilities of the QVPN Service, allowing you to create a VPN client that connects to a remote server or third-party provider to access content or services. It also allows the QHora-321 to be used as a VPN server for connecting to end devices with OpenVPN, L2TP/IPSec, and QNAP's proprietary QBelt VPN protocols.

• The QVPN Client, QVPN Server and QuWAN service cannot be enabled at the same time. The QVPN Server and QuWAN service can only be enabled at the same time when using Qbelt or OpenVPN, but are disabled when using L2TP.
• QVPN Service in QHora-321 currently supports OpenVPN connections with the QNAP devices configured OpenVPN server/client.
