D-Link launches new Gigabit Wi-Fi routers offering ultra-fast and extensive home broadband
DIR-878 Gigabit Router
D-Link has announced the launch of two new routers, designed specifically to meet the demands of the modern home. The DIR-878 Gigabit Router and DIR-882 Gigabit Router offer the fastest wireless speeds and most extensive coverage currently available on the market.
Both Wi-Fi Gigabit Routers come with Multiple-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) with Advanced AC SmartBeamâ„¢. MU-MIMO technology allows the routers to send and receive large amounts of data to and from devices simultaneously, increasing throughput and application responsiveness, whilst Advanced AC SmartBeamâ„¢ steers the wireless signal to where it is needed to significantly improve wireless range. Using innovative 802.11ac Wave 2 technology, both routers also offer combined wireless speeds of up to 1.9 Gbps and 2.533 Gbps respectively.
The increasing number of connected devices within a modern home, combined with the increasing prevalence of 4K streamed media, means that it is essential that a home’s network speed and bandwidth is able to meet these requirements. The routers’ innovative technology therefore enables consumers to stream video in 4K, enjoy seamless online gaming, transfer large files and browse the internet with a greater number of devices simultaneously and seamlessly.
Key features:
- Better Wi-Fi for more devices – 802.11ac technology on the 5 GHz band means higher quality connections for a greater number of devices, providing greater throughput for each of a consumers’ wireless devices.
- Quality of Service – built-in QoS engine allows prioritisation of traffic, to ensure the most important applications receive optimal bandwidth.
DIR-882 Gigabit Router
- Increased performance and reliability –Â Dual-band technology with SmartConnect distributes traffic over two dedicated Wi-Fi radios, optimising network performance and reliability.
- Dependable wired performance – Gigabit Ethernet ports for Network Attached Storage (NAS) and gaming consoles.
- Easy to secure – Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) establishes encrypted wireless connections to new devices without the need to enter settings or create passwords. The built-in firewall provides access controls and protects against malicious attacks.
- Instant file sharing – Super Speed USB 3.0 port and USB 2.0 port on the DIR-882 facilitates easy sharing of documents, movies, pictures and music across your entire home network
