DIR-878

Overview

HD Streaming & Gaming on Multiple Devices

The DIR-878 delivers premium performance for users who demand faster Wi-Fi speeds for HD streaming and gaming on multiple devices. This router is designed to support MU-MIMO Technology that allows multiple devices to get high bandwidth Wi-Fi signal at the same time.

Dual‑band with a Kick

How about a dual-band wireless router with 3x3 data streams for faster Wi-Fi speeds? Independent data streams are delivered to each device on the network for speeds of up to 1900 Mbps (600 Mbps in 2.4 GHz + 1300 Mbps in 5 GHz). The best performance for streaming your favorite movie or playing games with your friends.

Coverage

Want Great Coverage?

Four high-performance external antennas deliver stronger Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home. This allows more devices around your home to connect faster and with fewer Wi-Fi dead zones.

Multi‑User MIMO (MU‑MIMO)

With MU-MIMO technology multiple devices are able to get high-bandwidth Wi-Fi signal at the same time, distributing data more efficiently, giving you the fastest Wi-Fi speeds in your home. You can stream HD media faster, transfer large files really fast and play buffer-free gaming.

More Processing Power

A Dual-core processor boosts multitasking computing power and improves throughput speeds for all of your applications.

Optimal Bandwidth Connection

Not all Wi-Fi bands are the same, but you don’t need to worry about that. The DIR-878 chooses from two Wi-Fi bands and automatically connects each device on your network to the best, clearest band available for the best connection every time.

Advanced AC Smart Beam

Improves coverage by directing bandwidth to your devices as you move around your home. You can seamlessly stream HD video, surf the web, Skype your friends and play online games from wherever you are so you’ll always get the best experience.
