New Wireless Router to Serve Homes and Offices

New Wireless Router to Serve Homes and Offices
Consumers, small businesses and gamers, who demand the highest performance possible from their wireless networks, can now eye on a new router. D-Link India has rolled out Xtreme N router DIR-655, using the latest Draft 802.11n wireless technology. Contextually, DIR-655 is faster than Ethernet.
The D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655), the latest product from the Xtreme N family, has been designed for larger homes and offices with high-speed Internet using multiple PCs, game consoles and other digital home devices such as streaming media adapters.
According to D-Link, with faster speeds and further range than that found in 802.11g wireless products, the new device is the industry's first Gigabit Draft N router to incorporate Intelligent Wireless Quality of Service (QoS) Technology. The product automatically prioritizes high-bandwidth, latency-sensitive wireless data traffic, allowing users to experience smooth streaming HD video, lag-free gaming and jitter-free voice over Internet (VoIP) calls. It is powered by StreamEngine technology from Ubicom.
In the words of Jayesh Kotak, VP (Product Management) of D-Link India, "Hard-wiring a location for networking is not a viable solution for many consumers and small business owners. Our new Xtreme N family is the most advanced home networking family that we've introduced to date. It's designed to meet the needs of today's digital world by providing wireless speeds that rival that of a wired connection, along with greater signal coverage to reach the farthest corners of a home or office, enabling customers to get the most from their network and applications."
It may be noted that the Xtreme N router also ships with Gigabit local area network (LAN) and Gigabit wide area network (WAN) ports. In addition, the Xtreme N router comes with an integrated wireless security wizard, Windows Connect Now (WCN) support for easily connecting to WCN-enabled devices, Network Magic's management features from Pure Networks, removable antennas for flexible installation, and a wall-mount option.
