Features
Handle More with a High-Power Processor
With the EXO Series Routers, you’re not only enjoying buer-free gaming and lightning fast surng, you’re also enjoying features such as an
integrated mesh for a higher coverage network, an automatically optimizing QoS with a built-in speedtest, an automatic rmware update system
that ensures the best protection and the latest features, and compatibility with voice assistants. All this is possible with the router’s 880 Mhz
dual-core high-power processor, 128 MB of ash memory and 256 MB of RAM.
Extend and Customize Your High-speed Wireless AC Network
D-Link’s Wi-Fi Mesh is a scalable solution that allows you to easily increase the coverage of your home or oce wireless AC network. Expand your
Wi-Fi coverage by adding compatible D-Link access points. Mix and match suitable D-Link devices according to your budget and preferences to
t any oorplan. Setup is eortless; conguration of multiple access points can be done in minutes.
Security for Your Network with McAfee Protection
Kick security up a notch with McAfee protection for your network. Keep your kids safe online with age-based proles and the ability to pause the
internet when you need to. All this is part of the comprehensive parental controls oered by the McAfee Secure Home Platform. With the McAfee
Secure Home Platform you can also take control of your devices and be the rst to know and respond to potentially threatening activity on your
network, such as devices trying to connect to malicious addresses, or unidentied devices joining your network. When you are away from home
you can also deny any new devices from connecting to your network. The McAfee Secure Home Platform works with Amazon Alexa to give you a
new way to command and monitor your home network using your voice. You can scan your network, block devices, and get up to speed on your
network notications - all without lifting a nger.
Easy to Set Up and Manage
Sharing your Internet connection doesn’t have to be a complicated process; just download the free D-Link Wi-Fi app for your mobile device and
follow the onscreen step-by-step instructions to set up your EXO Series Router.
Always Up-to-Date with the Latest Features
The router will automatically check daily for updates to make sure that the device always has the latest features and the most secure rmware,
and will install the update silently in the background.
Enhanced Quality of Service Features
The built-in Quality of Service (QoS) engine allows you to prioritize important trac to ensure that your favorite applications are receiving
optimal bandwidth. Also included as part of the QoS feature is the speedtest, which not only allows you to check the current upload and
download speed of your Internet connection, but also gives you the option of automatically conguring your router to optimize your trac
according to speedtest results.
