Networking Buying Guide

Product Features

MU-MIMO technology sends a high-speed signal to multiple users

Allows high-bandwidth activities across many devices at a combined speed of up to 2.53 Gbps, so several users can experience fast connections at the same time.

Wireless-AC for a fast connection

Gigabit Wi-Fi is great for bandwidth-intensive applications, like streaming video, playing online video games and more. Backward compatibility with 802.11n networks means your old devices won't be left behind.

4 high-performance antennas for thorough coverage

Large, overlapping Wi-Fi patterns remove dead spots and widen the router's range. The antennas can be adjusted to the optimal position or detached for future upgrades.

Gigabit LAN ports for wired devices

Connect up to 4 devices at a time to your wired network using Ethernet cables.

Includes USB and eSATA ports for expanded functionality

USB 3.0 port allows you to add external storage devices for sharing content across your network. The eSATA port supports external SATA devices and can also function as a USB 2.0 port.

Smart Wi-Fi lets you control your network even when you aren't at home

Access your network remotely with a smartphone using the Smart Wi-Fi app, or with a laptop or desktop by using a Web browser.

Easy setup

Plug-and-play operation simplifies the setup process.
