The internet is no longer just a tool used for checking e-mail, browsing sites, or joining a chat room; people can now have live video conversations, stream high-definition video directly to their TVs, or game online with thousands of others, at the same time! More |
Unfortunately, wireless technology suffered setbacks with slower speeds and congested wireless bandwidth, which caused streaming video to pause or games to lag constantly. But not anymore! Thanks to D-Link’s award-winning Xtreme N technology, we can now enjoy movies, games, music and online shopping at ultra fast speeds, anywhere in our home or office, without the burden of being hardwired to a modem, switch or router. The Xtreme N Duo Media Router from D-Link utilizes dual wireless signals to split tasks between low bandwidth and high bandwidth applications, ensuring that content transitions smoothly to your TV or PC.
- Built-in Wireless N technology supports up to 6x greater range than previous Wireless G routers, while remaining backward-compatible with 802.11g devices, including game consoles and digital media players
- Includes 4 gigabit LAN ports for hardwiring high-performance gaming PCs and media equipment directly to the network
- Features intelligent QoS technology, which prioritizes and separates critical incoming traffic such as VoIP and streaming video from the rest of the traffic, to minimize delay and maximize performance
- Network is protected with advanced firewall features and secure wireless access with WPA or WPA2 encryption
- Includes SharePort™ technology for sharing USB devices such as printers and external hard drives with everyone on your network
- Three intelligent dual-band antennas split the signal into two 5GHz and one 2.4GHz wireless bands to reach a wide range of devices from greater distances around your home or office
