Introduction
The D-Link DIR-815 AC1200 Wi-Fi Router shares your Internet connection over a blazing-fast wireless connection of up to 1200 Mbps (up to 866 Mbps
over 5 GHz Wireless AC and up to 300 Mbps over 2.4 GHz Wireless N)
1
, using advanced AC beamforming technology to signicantly outperform
802.11n and other 802.11ac devices. Equipped with one Fast Ethernet WAN/Internet port and four Fast Ethernet LAN ports, providing speeds up
to 10 times faster than standard 10/100 ports and creating the best networking experience to date.
Featuring four antennas, the AC1200 Wi-Fi Router oers better data rates, fewer dead-spots, more coverage, and higher reliability. Operating
exclusively in the 5 GHz band, the DIR-815’s 802.11ac wireless connections avoid the crowded 2.4 GHz band, giving you faster speeds while still
maintaining backwards compatibility with older 802.11n/g/b devices. A stronger Wi-Fi signal means you can install more wireless surveillance
cameras, baby monitors, sensors, and alarms in the places where you need them.
The DIR-815 supports the latest security features to help prevent unauthorized access. Support for WPA™ and WPA2™ standards ensure that you
will be able to use the best possible encryption regardless of your client devices. This router is also equipped with a dual-active rewall (SPI and
NAT) to prevent potential attacks over the Internet.
The DIR-815 is full of features to improve your home network. The built-in USB 2.0 port lets you easily share a USB storage drive with all the devices
on your local network. The rich parental controls allow you to easily control when the Internet should be available in your home and what content
is allowed. With all this and more, the DIR-815 AC1200 Wi-Fi Router will serve your network well for years to come.
