Introduction
The D-Link Wireless N 600 Dual Band Gigabit Cloud Router (DIR-826L) comes equipped with 4 Gigabit ports to provide speeds
up to 10x faster than standard 10/100 ports. It also uses 802.11n technology with multiple intelligent antennas to maximize
the speed and range of your wireless signal to significantly outperform 802.11g devices.
With the addition of Intelligent 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 D-Link Cloud Service will allow you to always have access to your home network no matter where you go. Now you can
monitor and manage your home network right from your laptop, iPhone®, iPad®7, 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 real-time 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.
