D-Link is launching a wireless AC router that connects to both high speed fixed and mobile broadband. It combines multiple Internet connections to offer increased overall bandwidth as well as a fail-safe Internet.

The Wireless AC750 Dual-Band Multi-WAN Router (DWR-118) is ideal for households that rely on constant connectivity, such as those with smart home technology, people who run businesses from home, or gamers. This includes those in areas where fixed line connectivity is not always reliable.

For households with heavy-data users, the router’s load-balancing capabilities mean both mobile and fixed Internet connections can be used at the same time – making large downloads faster or streaming of better quality. Households can also set up personal hotspots with combined dual-band wireless speeds of up to 750 Mbps, allowing more devices to be connected to the Internet simultaneously. 

The router can also be used outside the home, perhaps for the holiday home, summer house or a hotel, to create personal wireless hotspots. Using a 4G or 3G dongle connected to the router’s USB port, and therefore one SIM, the whole family can get online, wherever they are.

Kevin Wen, President of D-Link Europe Ltd said: “Whether they have critical requirements for a fast and reliable Internet connection, or are part of a household with average needs, people today want fail-safe, fast connectivity. Using the power of both fixed and mobile networks means faster Internet connections and credible back-up options to make sure the household is always online. Online games, streaming video or video calls will never be interrupted again.”

The Wireless AC750 Dual-Band Multi-WAN Router is also suitable for small businesses, as the alternative Internet source means there is always a back-up option for connectivity.
