IPv6 support
IPv6 is a promising protocol for the future. The number of IPv4 addresses is limited to 4,294,967,296 in contrast to IPv6, which supports 2 to the power of 128 addresses.
Wi-Fi Support
Wi-Fi Class
АС1200
Maximum speed at a frequency of 2.4 GHz
Devices with a 2.4 GHz data transmission standard provide speeds up to 300 Mb / s. Such indicators are usually sufficient for social networks and watching videos on YouTube in 1080p quality.
300 Mbit/s
Simultaneous operation in two ranges
The router simultaneously operates in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, which allows the device to be used by older devices without 5 GHz support simultaneously with modern models (smartphones, smart home devices).
Transmitter power
In accordance with the standards, the maximum power for a 2.4 GHz network is set at 20 dBM, for a 5 GHz network 24 dBM. The standards were introduced with the aim of limiting the influence of the electromagnetic field on the human body.
20 dBm
The antenna gain
The characteristic affects the range of propagation of the router signal in space.
5 dBi
Connection Security
WPA , WPA2 , WEP
Maximum speed at a frequency of 5 GHz
Shorter 5 GHz wavelengths with a higher frequency than 2.4 GHz allow you to take full advantage of the gigabit Internet (1000 Mb / s and even higher).
867 Mbit/s
Number of 5 GHz bands
1
Number of LAN ports
A large number of LAN ports allows you to connect a large number of wired devices to the router (usually an RJ 45 connector is used). Connecting personal PCs via a wired network allows for minimal latency (which can be important for online games), unlike Wi Fi.
4
Transfer rate over a wired connection
For a wired network, LAN ports with a speed of 100 or 1000 Mbps are usually used. Professional models can use SFP ports up to 25Gbps.
1000 Mbit/s
USB port
DHCP support
DHCP allows you to automatically assign a unique intranet IP address to connected devices (usually 192.168. *. *). Without this function, it is necessary to register a unique IP address manually for each device.
Static routing
Dynamic DNS
Allows you to assign a permanent domain name to a public dynamic IP address that the router receives from the provider. This is necessary to access the settings of the router via the Internet when you are not connected to your home network.
Firewall (Firewall)
Allows you to filter or block all network traffic except for permitted data.
NAT
Network Address Translation allows you to limit the number of public IP addresses for security and economy purposes. The router redirects traffic from the public IP to the specified computers within the network using the specified ports or other settings.
SPI
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
An additional level of security in the local network, which allows you to minimize damage from attacks by segments of public services (without affecting private ones).
VPN Features
PPTP , OpenVPN
Possibility of outdoor installation
Such devices are adapted for stable outdoor operation and have a moisture-proof housing and sealed connectors.
MESH
A scalable system of multiple routers forming a single Wi-Fi network. Devices will automatically switch from one router to another, choosing the best signal without the user noticing. Such networks can contain hundreds of routers and cover gigantic areas. If you need to cover huge areas with Wi-Fi, you should purchase devices with MESH support.
