Introduction
The D-Link DIR-842 is an IEEE 802.11ac compliant device that delivers up to 3x faster speeds than 802.11n while staying backward
compatible with 802.11n/g/b/a devices. Connect the DIR-842 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 and equipped with four external antennas, this router
provides superior wireless coverage for larger homes and offices, or for users running bandwidth-intensive applications. The
DIR-842 also includes a 4-port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet switch that connects to wired devices for uninterrupted video
calling and faster file transfers.
D-Link Intelligent QoS Technology helps to increase network efficiency by analyzing wired and wireless network traffic and
prioritizing it in order of importance. This way, important network traffic such as VoIP and video streaming, take priority over
background network traffic such as a file downloads and print tasks, ensuring you have optimal network performance.
The DIR-842 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 is equipped with a dual-active firewall (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential
attacks over the Internet.
