BENEFITS OF DUAL BAND

The D-Link® Wireless N Dual Band Router DIR-815 uses dual band technology to support 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz wireless signals at the same time. This allows you
to check e-mail and browse the Internet using the 2.4 GHz band while simultaneously streaming movies and other media on the 5 GHz band. The DIR-815 is
designed for home users looking for a wireless connection that can handle video streaming throughout the house, while being backward compatible with
existing 802.11g and 802.11a products.

WHY SMART QOS IS BETTER!

With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including Voice over IP (VoIP), video streaming, online gaming, and web browsing are mixed together into a
single data stream. By handling data this way, applications such as streaming video may stutter or have an unstable connection. With the D-Link Smart QoS
Prioritization Technology, wired and wireless traffic are analyzed and separated into multiple data streams. Different applications like voice, video, and data
will be automatically detected and the transmission sequence will be automatically prioritized. This enables multiple applications to stream smoothly to your TV
or PC.

IPV6 READY

This router is ready for the future of the Internet with support for the upcoming move from IPv4 to IPv6. It carries the IPv6 Ready Gold Logo, signifying that it not
only supports the IPv6 protocol, but is also compatible with IPv6 equipment from other manufacturers. This allows you to change to a 128-bit addressing system
and directly connect to anybody in the world using your unique IP address. Using a dual-stack architecture, this router can handle routing for both IPv4 and
IPv6 networks at the same time, so you can be assured that your equipment is forward and backward compatible.

Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g, 802.11a, and 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions

and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate.
Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range. Wireless range and speed rates are D-Link relative performance measurements based on the
wireless range and speed rates of a standard Wireless G product from D-Link. Maximum throughput based on D-Link’s 802.11n devices.
