Equipped with three adjustable antennas, this wireless-AC router delivers speeds of up to AC1900 Mbps (N600 +AC1300)--up to 4.3 times faster than conventional wireless-N--and offers exceptional range, making it great for large homes. Simultaneous dual bands (2.4 and 5 GHz) double the bandwidth to avoid interference while maximizing throughput. In addition, quality of service (QoS) capabilities let you prioritize bandwidth for smooth media streaming.Integrated DSL Modem for Versatility Unlike typical wireless-AC routers, the XAC1900 contains a built-in DSL modem, making it easy to connect to your DSL Internet service and enjoy fast, reliable Wi-Fi throughout your home without having to purchase an additional device. The XAC1900 can also connect to a cable modem and serve as a traditional wireless router, giving you maximum flexibility, particularly if you ever decide to change your Internet provider. Three High-Performance Antennas for Maximum Coverage and Reliability To provide strong, reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home, the XAC1900 features three external adjustable antennas to ensure that your Wi-Fi signal is always at maximum strength, keeping everyone simultaneously gaming, downloading, and streaming without lag. The antennas also enhance 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz simultaneous dual-band performance for a strong, reliable Wi-Fi signal that eliminates dead zones even in multistory homes. The antennas can be detached for future upgrades. Beamforming for Strong Wireless Signals Leveraging the wireless-AC standard, the XAC1900 delivers innovative beamforming technology enabling the router to strengthen the wireless signal to specific devices, rather than simply sending out Wi-Fi in a general direction. Now you can experience faster network speeds, better wireless range, reduced interference from other devices, and stronger Wi-Fi connections. Most Advanced Wired Connections For blazing-fast performance, we equipped the XAC1900 with four Gigabit Ethernet ports--which are 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet--to provide the fastest wired speeds. Using the USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, you can add external storage or other devices, while the built-in DLNA-certified media server allows you to easily search for and play media across your network.
