Wireless AC1200 MU-MIMO Dual-Band Router
DIR-842
Home is where the SMART is
The DIR-842 Wireless AC1200 MU-MIMO Dual-Band Router combines the latest high-speed
Wave 2 802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi with Gigabit Ethernet ports to provide a seamless networking
experience. The DIR-842’s advanced security features keep data safe from unwanted network
intruders, whilst the increased range and reliability of Wireless AC technology allows you to
stay connected even under heavy network utilisation or in rooms that have bad wireless signal.
High-Speed Wired and Wireless Connectivity
The Wireless AC1200 MU-MIMO Dual-Band Router upgrades your network to the latest high-
speed wireless technology to bring you lightning-fast Wi-Fi speeds of up to 1,167 Mbps
1
(867
Mbps on the 5 GHz frequency band and 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz frequency band) so you can
meet the ever-greater demand from multimedia applications. Featuring Multiple-User MIMO
(MU-MIMO) technology, it can send and receive data to and from devices simultaneously to
increase speed and eciency. It is like having multiple routers in your home. Enjoy streaming
media, Internet phone calls, online gaming, and content-rich web surng throughout your
home or oce. In addition, 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports give you solid, dependable
wired performance for devices such as smart TVs, gaming consoles and network storage
devices. The built-in Quality of Service (QoS) engine allows you to prioritise important trac to
ensure that your favourite applications are receiving optimal bandwidth.
Dual Band Wireless for Seamless Performance
The Wireless AC1200 MU-MIMO Dual-Band Router features dual-band wireless, allowing you to
operate two concurrent, high-speed Wi-Fi bands for ultimate wireless performance. Surf the
web, chat and play online games on the 2.4 GHz band with your smartphones and computers,
while simultaneously streaming digital media on the 5 GHz band on your streaming media
players and tablets. What’s more, each band can operate as a separate Wi-Fi network, giving
you the ability to customise your network according to your connectivity needs. You can even
congure a guest zone to give visitors Internet access without giving them access to the rest
of your network.
