Description

Two bands and AC1200 Wi-Fi for everyday use

AC1200 describes the combined Wi-Fi speed of both bands, and 802.11ac is the Wi-Fi 5 standard. Two bands mean that phones and laptops can use the faster 5 GHz network, while 2.4 GHz suits distant rooms and older devices. The 10/100 Mbit/s LAN ports are fine for a TV, an IP phone or a printer for which that speed is enough.

Who this 4G router is for

Summer houses, country homes or flats where internet comes from the mobile network and there is no fixed line; small offices that need a simple router with dual-band Wi-Fi; and users for whom an AC1200 Wi-Fi network covers everyday browsing, streaming video and video calls.
