The quick answer is no. VC-231 is an Ethernet Extender. It does not have any routing capabilities like the router. VC-231 must be used as a pair. It extends the Ethernet connection via DSL technology. The speed may vary depending on the distance. VC-231 can connect two local area networks as long as the networks have the same IP settings.

I would recommend the DCE 5204V-BM. ## Frequently Bought Together - VC-231 Single port 100/100 Mbps Ethernet to VDSL2 Converter - 30a profile - Orbram Cat 8 Ethernet Cable 15 ft, Nylon Braided High Speed Heavy Duty Network LAN Patch Cord, 40Gbps 2000Mhz SFTP RJ45 Flat Internet Cable Shielded in Wall, Indoor&Outdoor for Modem/Router/Gaming/PC - TP-Link 8 Port Gigabit Switch | Easy Smart Managed | Plug & Play | Desktop/Wall-Mount | Sturdy Metal w/ Shielded Ports | Support QoS, Vlan, IGMP and LAG (TL-SG108E) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/57536797-vc-231-single-port-100-100-mbps-ethernet-to-vdsl2](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/57536797-vc-231-single-port-100-100-mbps-ethernet-to-vdsl2) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
