D-Link DIR-655 Extreme-N Gigabit Wireless Router

Xtreme N Gigabit Router

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. Conveniently turn your existing USB printers and storage devices into network devices for everyone to share. Actual data throughput will vary. This enables multiple applications to stream smoothly to your TV or PC. Support for WPA and WPA2 standards ensure that you will be able to use the best possible encryption regardless of your client devices. See larger image. SharePortWith SharePort technology you can connect a USB printer or storage device to your router and allow users to access them from anywhere on the network. With D-Link's Intelligent QoS Technology, wired and wireless traffic is analyzed and separated into multiple data streams. Below is a list of DIR-655 features.

Why Intelligent QoS Is Better With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including VoIP, Video Streaming, Online Gaming, and Web browsing are mixed together into a single data stream. The web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network management features including:

• Content Filtering--Easily applied content filtering based on MAC Address, URL, and/or Domain Name.
• Filter Scheduling--These filters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of hours or minutes.
• Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions--The DIR-655 can pass through VPN sessions. Also, the DIR-655 uses advanced firewall features. SECURESPOT 2.0 SECURESPOT 2.0 (optional) is total network security for multiple computers in your home. These streams are then categorized by sensitivity to delay, so applications like VoIP, Video Streaming, and Online Gaming are given priority over Web browsing. SECURESPOT Features:
  • Firewall protection
  • Parental controls
  • Parental reporting and alerts
  • Identity protection
  • Pop-up blocker
  • Virus/spyware protection--powered by McAfee
  • Spam control
  • Access control
  • Remote management console

It supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-655 can securely access corporate networks.

Delivering best-in-class performance, network security, and coverage, the Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655) is the ideal centerpiece for your wireless network in the home or office. The D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655) is a draft 2.0 802.11n compliant device that delivers up to 14x faster speeds* and 6x farther range* than 802.11g while staying backward compatible with 802.11g devices. By handling data this way, applications like video streaming could pause or delay. The DIR-655 also includes a 4-port 10/100/1000 Gigabit switch that connects Gigabit wired devices for enjoying lag-free network gaming and faster file transfers.

With wireless prioritization technology and our award-winning intelligent QoS engine, jitter-free Internet phone calls (VoIP), high-definition video streaming and Web gaming are achievable on your wired and wireless networks. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, buildings materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Get 14x faster and 6x farther range than 802.11g with the D-Link Xtreme N Wi-Fi router (see larger image).
