D-Link DIR-855 Xtreme N Duo Media Router.

The D-Link® Xtreme N Duo™ Media Router (DIR-855) is the latest addition to the Award-winning Xtreme N product family.

The Duo technology in the DIR-855 supports dualband (2.4GHz & 5GHz) wireless signals at the same time.

This allows you to check e-mail and browse the Internet using the 2.4GHz band while simultaneously streaming High-Definition (HD) movies and other media on the 5GHz band.

The DIR-855 is designed for users looking to get a true HD wireless connection that can handle multiple HD video streams throughout the house, while being backward compatible with your existing 802.11g products.

Why Intelligent QoS is Better

With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including Voice over IP (VoIP), Video Streaming, Online Gaming, and Web browsing are mixed together into a single data stream. By handling data this way, applications like Streaming Video could pause or delay.

With the D-Link Intelligent QoS Prioritization Technology, wired and wireless traffic are analyzed and separated into multiple data streams. These streams are then categorized by sensitivity to delay, so applications like VoIP, Video Streaming, and Online Gaming are given priority over Web browsing.

This enables multiple applications like Streaming Video and Gaming to stream smoothly to your TV or PC.

Mediaband Technology

The DIR-855 utilizes MediaBand™ (5GHz), which is the best technology available for wirelessly streaming multiple HD videos across your network.

It achieves this by operating in a clear wireless band to avoid interference that may slow down and limit the range of current wireless technologies like 802.11g.
