Product overview

The power of dual band

Double your network bandwidth with simultaneous dual-band N (2.4 and 5 GHz). The dual-band feature is designed to avoid interference and optimize throughput for smoother and faster HD video streaming, file transfers, and wireless gaming.

SpeedBoost

Higher quality antenna technology helps maintain high speeds across greater distances throughout your home.

State-of-the-art security

Keep Wi-Fi freeloaders and Internet threats at bay with WPA/WPA2 encryption. An SPI firewall helps keep your network protected.

Benefits of gigabit

Built-in USB port and UPnP media server

The USB storage port lets you add an external USB drive to your network and share files at home or over the Internet. It also features a built-in UPnP AV media server for seamless streaming of your video and media files to an Xbox 360, PS3, or other UPnP-compatible device.
