Features
• High-Power Wi-FI - The COVR-3902 features a high-power AC2600 router oering blazing-fast wireless speeds
of up to a combined 2533 Mbps (1732 Mbps 802.11ac 5 GHz, plus 800 Mbps 802.11n 2.4 GHz)1 combined with
the AC1300 seamless extender to bring high-performance Wi-Fi to the hard-to-reach places in your home.
COVR-3902 provides you with the speed you need to fully enjoy data-intensive activities such as 4K video
steaming and online gaming.
• Smart Roaming - The Covr Wi-Fi System creates a single, seamless wireless network throughout your entire
home using a single wireless network name (SSID). This means that once you connect, your connection
is maintained seamlessly as you and your wireless device roam throughout your home, allowing you to
experience an uninterrupted connection without buering, drop-outs or dead spots.
• 4 x 4 MU-MIMO Technology - Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) sends and receives data to and from multiple
devices simultaneously to increase speed and eciency. Your laptop, tablet, media player and game console
can all be sending and receiving data at the same time, with no need to wait in turn, allowing you to get more
out of your home Wi-Fi network than ever before.
1Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11n and 802.11ac specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and
environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental
conditions will adversely aect wireless signal range.

Section 1 - Product Overview
• Smart Steering - Behind the scenes, the COVR-3902 automatically determines whether to connect a device to
the 2.4 or 5 GHz band, thereby providing the best speed and range for each device and optimally distributing
devices to each network.
• Expandable Network - Covr’s Wi-Fi System is pre-paired and works straight out of the box, so you just need to
plug them in and get started. Covr is also a scalable solution; extra extenders can be added to increase the reach
of your network. Scale up your Wi-Fi by adding another extender to get true whole-home coverage.
• Easy Setup - Through its intuitive web-based user interface or the free D-Link Wi-Fi app, you can quickly set up
the COVR-3902 and congure your network to your specic settings in a matter of minutes.
