DWA-182EOL EOS
Wireless AC1200 Dual Band USB Adapter
Description
The DWA-182 Wireless AC1200 Dual Band USB Adapter delivers powerful wireless AC technology to your desktop or notebook computer. Simply plug the adapter into an available USB port and connect to a wireless network to access a secure, high-speed Internet connection over the 2.4GHz (300Mbps) or 5GHz (up to 867Mbps) bands*. In addition, with integrated Dual Band technology, you’ll have reduced Wi-Fi interference to maximize throughput for faster streaming, gaming, and VOIP calls.
Interference-Free Bandwidth
The DWA-182 Wireless AC1200 Dual Band USB Adapter delivers Dual Band technology to your home network for intelligent, versatile, interference-free bandwidth. Check your email and surf the Internet on the 2.4GHz band; play online games, make Skype calls, and stream HD movies to multiple devices using the cleaner, interference-free 5GHz band. Whatever you like to do online, Dual Band has you covered.
Easy WPS Push-Button Setup
Use Wireless Protected Setup (WPS) to quickly and easily establish a highly secure home network that will have you browsing, streaming, and watching in minutes. The latest encryption technology ensures that information transmitted on your network remains safe and secure, while preventing unauthorized access. It’s as easy as push and connect!
Compatible With All Your Wireless Products
While the Wireless AC1200 Dual Band USB Adapter delivers cutting-edge 802.11ac speed to your home network, it’s also backward compatible with all of your current wireless products – no updates or adapters necessary.
What is wireless AC?
802.11ac is a new networking standard that produces high-throughput
wireless speed on the 5GHz band. What does this mean for your home network? Flawless HD video streaming, faster gaming, and lag-free VOIP and video calls, all with less Wi-Fi interference for smooth, lightning-fast performance. What’s more while your computer gains all the cutting-edge benefits of 802.11ac, the DWA-182 is also backwards compatible with all of your current wireless n/g/b products.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from draft IEEE 802.11ac specification and IEEE Standard 802.11n specification. D-Link makes no warranties as to forward compatibility with future standards or compatibility with draft 802.11ac devices from other manufacturers. 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 may adversely affect wireless signal range. Up to 867Mbps wireless speeds achieved when connecting to other 802.11ac devices. Data throughput may also be limited by the product’s interface, less than 480Mbps for a USB 2.0 interface. The inclusion of a specific product or manufacturer does not imply its endorsement of D-Link or the D-Link product. Computer must adhere to Microsoft’s recommended System Requirements.
