Product Description

The Dualband HD Media Router (DIR-857) is part of D-Link's next generation of high performance solutions and has been designed for home users looking for a wireless connection that can handle video streaming throughout the house, whether streaming films or high-performance gaming. With Wireless N technology, the HD Media Router gives you the very best in speed and coverage around your home.

The DLNA-certified Media Server built-into this router allows you to stream media content directly onto computers, game consoles and media players like the Boxee Box by D-Link. Insert a SD card complete with your photos, music and videos in to the card slot to share content with everyone in your home. You can even share any USB device (like a Printer or Hard Drive), courtesy of D-Link's SharePort technology across your network with friends and family.

This powerful Media Router provides you with an easy, straightforward way to access files, photos, music and videos on a USB storage device directly on your iPhone and iPad, with the free SharePort Mobile app, available on the App Store. Just download the app and start streaming movies and playlists on your iPhone/iPad wirelessly. You can also backup your files and free up space in your mobile device, all without cables. No computer needed!

With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including Voice over IP (VoIP), video streaming, online gaming, and web browsing are mixed together into a single data stream. By handling data this way, applications such as streaming video may not have the bandwidth they need to give you a flawless viewing experience. With D-Link's QoS technology, wired and wireless traffic is analyzed and separated into multiple data streams. Different applications like voice, video, and data will be automatically detected and prioritized so that you can game, talk with friends online overseas or stream the latest films without any lag or glitches.

The Dualband HD Media Router can forward data to and from the Internet onto your home network faster than any other broadband router in the market. At speeds of up to 2 Gbps in IPv6 mode, this router provides ample bandwidth for online TV, Skype videocalls, and the fastest possible downloads simultaneously.

The Dualband HD Media Router uses Dualband Technology to support 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz wireless signals at the same time. This allows you to check emails and browse the Internet using the 2.4 GHz band while simultaneously streaming movies and other media on the 5 GHz band. This router is backward compatible with existing 802.11g and 802.11a products.

With the growing number of Internet-enabled applications requiring IP addresses, the supply of IP addresses under the current Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) system has already been exhausted. The IPv6 protocol solves this network addressing exhaustion by creating more IP addresses, but migration from IPv4 to IPv6 is not necessarily automatic. This D-Link product is IPv6 Certified and ready for the future.

D-Link's Dualband HD Media Router is part of D-Link Green, D-Link's program for providing eco-friendly alternatives without compromising performance. It supports WLAN Scheduler, which switches off the wireless network when not needed, for example at night or during working hours. Also the power consumption is further reduced with its Energy Star power supply.
