BENEFITS OF DUO
The D-Link®Xtreme N®Duo Media Router (DIR-855) is the latest addition to the award-winning Xtreme N product family. The Duo technology in the DIR-855
supports dual band (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-855 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 your existing 802.11g and 802.11a products.
5GHz TECHNOLOGY
The DIR-855 utilizes the 5GHz band, which is the best technology available for wirelessly streaming multiple HD videos across your network. It achieves this by
operating in a clear wireless band to avoid interference that may slow down and limit the range of current wireless technologies like 802.11g1.
SHarEpOrT™2
D-Link has created SharePort™ technology to bring more flexibility to your network. With SharePort technology, you can connect a USB printer and share it
throughout your network. You can also connect a USB storage device, providing network storage 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.

1Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g, 802.11a, and draft 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions
and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate.
Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range. Wireless range and speed rates are D-Link RELATIVE performance measurements based on the
wireless range and speed rates of a standard Wireless G product from D-Link. Maximum throughput based on D-Link’s draft 802.11n devices.
