Next-Generation six-port 2.5GbE SD-WAN Router, providing a secure networking experience for NAS and IoT environments

The QHora-321 enables high-speed connection with six 2.5GbE ports, while also providing enterprise-grade Mesh VPN networking. You can achieve multi-site LAN development via the cloud through QuWAN Orchestrator, with full software-controlled routing to build a next-generation network. It is strongly recommended to pair QHora-321 with a QNAP NAS for businesses to perform secure remote backup: By using the Hybrid Backup Sync app through QuWAN, you can transfer files and snapshot files between multiple NAS through a secure encrypted network. For enhanced security, you can also connect your NAS (QNAP or otherwise) directly behind the QHora-321 to prevent attacks.

Ultimate wired networking performance
The QHora-321 provides six 2.5GbE ports (compatible with 2.5G/ 1G/ 100M) for high-speed wired networking performance.

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.

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, 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.

QHora – Best-in-class network security solution
Featuring cutting-edge network security techniques, the QHora offers an all-in-one solution for building a secure next-generation network.

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.

VPN setup has never been easier
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.

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 – 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.

QuWAN Agent
Install QuWAN Agent on your QNAP devices and configure the setting parameters to be connected to each other in a Mesh VPN (Topology view in QuWAN Orchestrator).

QVPN Client
Install QVPN on mobile devices and computers for easy connection to the QHora-321 for accessing multi-site VPN resources.

Deploy a multi-site VPN with the subscription-free QuWAN solution
QuWAN can be installed on QNAP NAS, QGD switches and QuCPE servers*. When co-working with the QVPN App, remote workers can be easily connected to SSL VPN via their computer or mobile device. Whether scaling up to accommodate worldwide offices or simply to different departments in the same building, devices in different locations are flexibly segmented to be connected with each other in a micro-segmented network.
