Product details

The Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Gigabit Router (DIR-842) combines the latest fast dual-band Wi-Fi standard 802.11ac with Gigabit Ethernet ports to ensure consistently high network performance.

Its advanced security features protect data from unwanted network intruders. At the same time, thanks to the increased range and reliability of Wireless AC technology, you stay connected even during high network traffic or in areas with weak Wi-Fi signals.

With very high Wi-Fi speeds of up to 1200 Mbps (867 Mbps on the 5 GHz frequency band and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz), you are equipped to handle the growing bandwidth demands of multimedia applications.

Additionally, Gigabit Ethernet ports provide a fast and reliable wired connection for devices such as smart TVs, gaming consoles, and network storage. Simply open the setup wizard in your browser and follow the step-by-step instructions.

You can even configure a guest network so that visitors can access the internet without being able to access the rest of your network.

Alternatively, you can download the free QRS (Quick Router Setup) app for iOS and Android and use it on your smartphone or tablet for setup, without the need for a computer.
