ShowStoppers @IFA, Berlin – September 3, 2015 – D-Link today announced an advanced home Wi-Fi router designed to deliver more content to users faster, more consistently and to more devices. For the family, the gamer or the HD video streamer, the AC3150 Ultra Wi-Fi Router (DIR-885L) offers a seamless experience with combined wireless data throughput of up to 3150Mbps.

The ULTRA Performance Series brings an aggressive and stylish design to home networking with a premium red finish designed to match the ultra-performance delivered by this new router. In addition, sleek form factor features a broad base with angular points and high-powered antennas to offer extreme performance in a modern form-factor for today’s homes. 

The router has a number of features that will appeal to users who demand high speed, and reliable connectivity. Multi User-Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) significantly increases Wi-Fi bandwidth utilisation, providing a more stable and faster connection to devices. SmartConnect assigns the best connection for each device to the 2.4 or 5 GHz band, this not only optimises performance automatically but also prevents overloading on a particular band. Four external antennas using Advanced AC Beamforming dramatically enhance wireless signal strength in your home.

“People want more from their router today: streaming music, HD video, online gaming – without realising this is far more than the average router can cope with. Add to this the growing demands as the number of online devices in every household increases,” said Kevin Wen, President of D-Link Europe Ltd. “Routers of this quality are the future of home connectivity, as more and more devices are brought online and demand for data intense applications rises. Consumers who are serious about high performance connectivity at home should look to switch to a router that matches their expectations.”

The AC3150 Ultra Wi-Fi Router has a super-cool, futuristic design, and is easy to set up in just a few steps using the Quick Router Setup Mobile app on your smartphone or tablet. Advanced features are also easy to access through the touch-optimised browser-based configuration, on the smartphone or tablet. The mydlink SharePort feature allows you to connect a USB drive and share photos or videos with the family, where they are. Using the free mydlink Lite app, you can access and manage your home network wherever you are - for example, parents can check which websites their children are visiting.
