Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
Now you can monitor and manage your home network right from your laptop, iPhone®, iPad®, or Android™ device. The cloud-
enabled router can be configured to send an email to keep you informed anywhere, anytime when new devices are connecting
to your network or unwanted access is detected. Monitor in realtime websites that are being visited with recent browser history
displayed on the mydlink™ Lite app – which is great for parents. The D-Link Cloud Service can detect and block unwelcomed
guests who try to get into your wireless network and suspicious activities will be displayed right on your mydlink™ Lite app
or browser.
The D-Link DIR-818LW is a IEEE 802.11ac compliant device that delivers up to 3 times faster speeds than 802.11n while staying
backward compatible with 802.11a/g/b devices. Connect the DIR-818LW to a cable or DSL modem and provide high-speed
Internet access to multiple computers, game consoles, and media players. Create a secure wireless network to share photos,
files, music, videos, printers, and network storage. Powered by the 802.11ac technology, this router provides great wireless
coverage for larger homes and offices, or for users running bandwidth-intensive applications. The DIR-818LW also includes
a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch that connects wired devices for enjoying lag-free network gaming and faster file transfers.
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. By handling data this way, applications like video streaming could pause or delay. With the
D-Link Intelligent QoS Technology, wired and wireless traffic are analyzed and separated into multiple data streams.
The DIR-818LW supports the latest wireless security features to help prevent unauthorized access, be it from over a wireless
network or the Internet. Support for WPA and WPA2 standards ensure that you will be able to use the best possible encryption
regardless of your client devices. In addition, this router utilizes dual active firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks
from across the Internet for the ideal centerpiece for your wireless network in the home or office.
