Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the AC2600 WiFi Router. This router is compliant with

802.11a/b/g/n/ac and up to 6 times faster than standard 802.11n based routers while still being compatible with 802.11g & 802.11b devices. This router is not only a Wireless Access Point, but also doubles as a 4-port full-duplex Gigabit switch that connects your wired-Ethernet devices together at 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.

At 800Mbps wireless transmission rate on 2.4GHz and 1750 Mbps wireless transmission rate on 5GHz, the Access Point built into the router uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output) technology to transmit multiple streams of data in a single wireless channel, giving you seamless access to multimedia content. The robust RF signal travels farther, eliminates dead spots and extends the network range. For data protection and privacy, the router encodes all wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption.

With the built-in DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall, the router protects your computers against intruders and most known Internet attacks and also provides safe VPN pass-through. With the incredible speed and QoS function of 802.11n, the router is ideal for media-centric applications like streaming video, gaming, and VoIP telephony to run multiple media-intense data streams through the network at the same time, with no degradation in performance.
