The Future of Wireless Encryption
One of the biggest concerns with IoT devices and Wi-Fi networks is privacy. Selected devices feature the latest WPA3™ encryption. It's the most advanced Wi-Fi Alliance security standard available and begins a new era of wireless encryption, ensuring greater privacy throughout users’ devices and networks.
The Future of Wireless Encryption
The latest WPA3 encryption will replace previous industry-standard encryptions on Wi-Fi devices
Enhanced Protection from Brute Force Attacks
Stronger protection for users against password guessing attempts
Futureproof and Compatible
D-Link routers will not be the ones holding your network back with previous encryption protocols
Conserve Energy, Save Battery Life
Target Wake Time (TWT) helps reduce battery consumption for connected devices by communicating with them and deciding when and how often the device requires data transfers. TWT increases the device’s sleep time, therefore cleverly conserving energy and helping save battery life.
BSS Coloring
Your neighbors’ Wi-Fi could be interfering with your wireless signals and slowing things down. Wi-Fi 6 puts an end to the Wi-Fi strife with BSS Coloring technology. It makes transmissions more unique by ‘coloring’ them with their own unique code.
The result? Devices can decide whether to transmit signals or ignore them, based on their “color”. Get less interference, less Wi-Fi slowdowns and more range.
WORKS WITH THE GOOGLE ASSISTANT AND ALEXA
Turn on/off your guest Wi-Fi, ask for your guest Wi-Fi credentials, reboot your router or update your firmware. Do it ALL hands-free using voice commands.
Just speak the words of command to your Google Assistant or Alexa, and the router bends your smart home Wi-Fi to your will (without you having to lift a finger).
Perfect for when you’ve got your hands full entertaining guests or just want to wow them with your smart Wi-Fi.
