D-Link DSL-2885A

details: Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+/VDSL2 Router
hardware type: DSL Wireless Router
date added: 2018-03-02
The D-Link DSL-2885A Wireless AC1200 Dual-Band Gigabit ADSL2+/VDSL2 Router shares your DSL Internet connection over Wireless AC, and uses advanced AC beamforming technology to maximize the speed and range of your wireless signal.

It also comes equipped with a Gigabit WAN port, two USB ports, and four Gigabit ports to provide speeds up to 10 times faster than standard 10/100 ports. Multiple WAN ports provide uninterrupted Internet service thanks to failover protection, allowing you to use
the DSL port to connect to your VDSL/ADSL service, the WAN port to connect to Ethernet based networks, or a supported mobile broadband USB dongle to connect to the Internet using your mobile provider.

With the addition of Advanced Quality of Service (QoS), data streams are separated, which helps organize and prioritize your network traffic so your video streaming, gaming, and VoIP calls run smoother over both your wired and wireless network.

The DSL-2885A is equipped with D-Link AutoZoning, which increases the coverage of your home wireless network. D-Link AutoZoning hand-off technology communicates with your router and other D-Link AutoZoning capable repeaters in your home network to ensure your wireless devices have a seamless connection. As you move around your house D-Link's AutoZoning technology automatically switches wireless devices to the access point, router, or repeater with the strongest signal, so you'll always get the best possible Wi-Fi, no matter where you are in your home.

The DSL-2885A's SharePort technology lets you take advantage of file sharing. Simply plug in a USB storage drive into a USB port on the back or side of your DSL-2885A and you can access files, stream videos, view photos, or listen to music on your laptop or mobile devices.
