Dual-Band AC1200 Speed
The router runs two Wi-Fi bands at once: up to 867 Mbps on 5 GHz and up to 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, for a combined 1200 Mbps of wireless capacity.
Put phones, smart TVs and laptops that need speed on the faster 5 GHz band, and leave the 2.4 GHz band for devices further away or older gadgets. Splitting the load keeps everyone's connection smoother.
Four Antennas, Wider Coverage
Four external antennas spread the signal across the house or office, helping reach rooms that a single ISP router leaves with weak Wi-Fi.
Point the antennas in different directions to cover several floors or rooms. It is a simple, low-cost way to fix dead spots without buying a mesh system.
Guest Wi-Fi and Parental Controls
A separate guest network lets visitors get online without seeing your shared files, printers or main password.
Parental controls let you limit when children's devices can go online, and WPA2 encryption keeps the network protected from neighbours and passers-by.
Easy Setup in Minutes
Plug the router into your fibre or cable modem, connect to its Wi-Fi and follow the setup steps from a phone or browser. No technician needed.
It also works as an access point or range extender, so it can be reused later to add coverage to another part of the building.
