Fast Dual-Band WiFi

Dual-band Wi-Fi allows you to connect your demanding devices to the faster and clearer 5 GHz band, while a tradition 2.4 GHz band provides a far-reaching, stable connection to the rest of your devices.

Boosted Signal throughout Your Home

Access your entertainment from every corner of your home with 4 external high-performance antennas. Beamforming technology detects devices and concentrates wireless signals towards them, even if they are far away or low-powered.

Talk to Devices Simultaneously

Equipped with MU-MIMO technology to connect more devices and maintain low latency. Concurrent streamings on 2 different MU-MIMO devices now will just be smooth as connecting only one, as long as you have enough bandwidth from your ISP.

* Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Range, coverage, and the maximum number of connected devices are based on test results under normal usage conditions. Actual wireless data throughput, wireless coverage, and the number of connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects, and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead, and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection quality, and client condition.

 Actual network speed may be limited by the rate of the product's Ethernet WAN or LAN port, the rate supported by the network cable, Internet service provider factors and other environmental conditions.

** Use of MU-MIMO requires clients to support MU-MIMO.
