D-Link DIR-878 and DIR-882 Gigabit routers launched

D-Link has announced the launch of two new routers, designed specifically to meet the demands of the modern home. The DIR-878 EXO AC1900 and DIR-882 EXO AC2600 offer the fastest wireless speeds and most extensive coverage currently available on the market.

The newly launched Gigabit Wi-Fi Routers meet the needs of the modern home, supporting web surfing, high-definition streaming, online gaming, video calls, and smart home devices.

D-Link DIR-878 and DIR-882

Both the DIR-878 EXO AC1900 and DIR-882 EXO AC2600 Wi-Fi Gigabit Routers come with Multiple-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) with Advanced AC SmartBeam.

MU-MIMO technology allows the routers to send and receive large amounts of data to and from devices simultaneously. This equates to increased throughput and application responsiveness.

Additionally, Advanced AC SmartBeam steers the wireless signal to where it is needed to significantly improve wireless range.

Furthermore, thanks to innovative 802.11ac Wave 2 technology, both routers also offer combined wireless speeds of up to 1.9 Gbps and 2.533 Gbps respectively.

So what?

This may all be very interesting, or not, but why should you care? Well, the increasing number of connected devices within a modern home, combined with the increasing prevalence of 4K streamed media, means that it is essential that a home’s network speed and bandwidth is able to meet these requirements.

The routers’ innovative technology therefore enables consumers to stream video in 4K, enjoy seamless online gaming, transfer large files and browse the internet with a greater number of devices simultaneously and seamlessly.

D-Link DIR-878 and DIR-882 round up
