D-Link DIR-628

The D-Link DIR-628 is a RangeBooster N Dual Band Router designed for providing high-speed Internet access to multiple computers, game consoles, and media players. This unit’s dual-band technology allows it to tune into both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless signals simultaneously, allowing users to surf on one band and download HD content on the other. Plus, the DIR-628 includes a QoS (Quality of Service) engine that prioritizes time-sensitive online traffic to enable smooth Internet phone calls (VoIP) and responsive gaming. Most notable about the DIR-628 is its SharePort technology, which allows a USB printer or storage device to be directly connected onto the network via the router. Additional features of the D-Link DIR-628 router include advanced security with WPA and WPA2 encryption algorithms, dual active firewalls (SPI and NAT), and parental controls. The D-Link DIR-628 retails for $99.99 and comes with a 1 year limited warranty.
