Description

It's like two routers in one. This Xtreme N® router operates on dual band Wi-Fi signals, making it easy to stream HD content while browsing the Internet without bogging down your network.

If you are using VoIP for phone calls, enjoying lots of videos from the Internet or playing online games, you know that bandwidth is the key to everyone on your network doing what they want without causing problems for everyone else. You need the D-Link® DIR-825 Xtreme N™ Dual Band Gigabit Router for a high-performance home network. As a true dual band Wi-Fi N router, you can assign typical tasks like surfing the web to the 2.4Ghz band along with your VoIP connections, and connect your game console or HD media player at 5Ghz — like two routers in one! The router has the intelligence to prioritize all the different kinds of traffic for uninterrupted performance. And you can simply plug your USB printer or storage device right into the router for everyone on the network to share!

BENEFITS OF DUAL BAND
The D-Link Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router (DIR-825) is the latest addition to the award-winning Xtreme N product family. The dual band technology in the DIR-825 supports 2.4GHz & 5GHz wireless signals at the same time. This allows you to check e-mail and browse the Internet using the 2.4GHz band while simultaneously streaming High-Definition (HD) movies and other media on the 5GHz band. The DIR-825 is designed for users looking to get a true HD wireless connection that can handle multiple HD video streams throughout the house, while being backward compatible with existing 802.11g and 802.11a products.

POWERED BY HD FUEL™
Use the power of HD Fuel to play your movies and games with superior technology over competing routers. We’ve combined the clarity of the 5GHz wireless band with our advanced Intelligent QoS engine to create a technology ideally suited for streaming your HD media.

SHAREPORT
With SharePort™ technology you can connect a USB printer or storage device to your router and allow users to access them from anywhere on the network. Conveniently turn your existing USB printers and storage devices into network devices for everyone to share.

WHY INTELLIGENT QoS IS BETTER!
With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including Voice over IP (VoIP), Video Streaming, Online Gaming, and Web browsing are mixed together into a single data stream. By handling data this way, applications like Streaming Video could pause or delay. With the D-Link Intelligent QoS Prioritization Technology, wired and wireless traffic are analyzed and separated into multiple data streams. These streams are then categorized by sensitivity to delay, so applications like VoIP, Video Streaming, and Online Gaming are given priority over Web browsing. This enables multiple applications like Streaming Video and Gaming to stream smoothly to your TV or PC.

Delivering best-in-class performance, network security, and coverage, the Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router (DIR-825) is the ideal centerpiece for your wireless network in the home or office.

WHAT THIS PRODUCT DOES
Create a dual band wireless network to share high-speed Internet access with computers, game consoles, or media players from greater distances around your home or office.
