Introduction

The DIR-866L AC1750 Wi-Fi Router provides revolutionary 802.11ac wireless speed - up to 1750Mbps - for flawless HD video

streaming to multiple devices.

With mydlink™ Cloud Services, you can monitor your home network from anywhere, anytime, using your iPhone, iPad, and

Android device(s). Monitor what websites are being visited, block access from unwanted devices, and receive automatic e-mail

alerts when unauthorized connections are attempted.

With the mydlink SharePort™ app, you can wirelessly access your media that is stored on a connected USB drive from your

mobile devices. Best of all, you can get free apps for network management and file access.

* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11ac, 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and

environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental

conditions will adversely affect wireless signal range.
