​11ac The Latest High-Speed Wireless Networking

The Edimax BR-6288ACL router supports the latest IEEE 802.11ac wireless standard, meaning higher data rates in the 5GHz band. With 150Mbps speeds in the 2.4GHz band and 433Mbps speeds in 5GHz, the BR-6288ACL is ideal for HD video streaming and large file transfers. The router is also backward compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n to ensure compatibility with legacy Wi-Fi devices.

Concurrent Dual-Band Wi-Fi Connectivity

The Edimax BR-6288ACL router provides simultaneous 2.4GHz (802.11n) and 5GHz (802.11ac) wireless network connectivity for maximum flexibility of use.

Smartphone App and Smart iQ Setup

Features smartphone app setup or web-based setup for quick, automatic installation with no CD required, to get your product up and running without any difficult configurations or hassle. The smartphone app and web-UI also feature a new automatic firmware update function.

Auto Firmware Upgrade

Don’t worry about downloading new firmware files and keeping your router up to date. The BR-6288ACL supports auto firmware upgrade through the smartphone app and web-UI, so you can check the firmware status and upgrade to the latest version quickly and automatically – minimum fuss required.

Green Wi-Fi TX Power Switch

Featuring a new hardware slide switch to easily adjust between normal and green TX power (the strength of the Wi-Fi signal). In normal mode the device transmits with maximum TX power for wide coverage in large homes. But if you only need Wi-Fi in your room or inside a smaller house, you can switch to green mode to reduce TX power to less than 75% and reduce energy usage by up to 30%.

Edimax’s Revolutionary iQoS

iQoS is Edimax’s solution for a quicker, easier, and more effective way to manage Internet bandwidth. While Quality of Service (QoS) functionality is a common feature in routers across the market, typically only advanced users have the knowledge required to set up the complex parameters. Edimax though has redesigned QoS with user-friendliness and accessibility in mind. A simple and intuitive user interface allows users to arrange bandwidth priority settings in just a few clicks. With iQoS, you can enjoy gaming, video streaming, VoIP applications and BT clients at the same time without the usual nightmare of lag and interruptions. An original, efficient and effective means of managing your Internet bandwidth.

Multi-SSID & VLAN Support

Multi-SSID enables users to configure up to ten separate SSIDs (2.4GHz x 5 and 5GHz x 5) in order to group and manage users according to your requirements. In addition, each SSID can be assigned a different VLAN ID, so users with multiple VLANs can manage the network access level of each SSID – ensuring security and protecting confidential or critical network resources.
