Mind-Blowing Speed and Range
The DIR-X1860 AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Router brings a host of new technologies to create the best wireless networking experience to date. Unlike the 
existing 11ac wireless standard that operates only in the 5 GHz range, 11ax Wi-Fi fully utilizes both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. It also comes with 1024 
QAM to boost throughput to devices by up to 25%. All this adds up to whopping combined speeds of up to 1800 Mbps (1200 Mbps + 574 Mbps). 
Built-in Power Amplifiers and beamforming extend the reach of your Wi-Fi and direct the signals where they need to go. 11ax lets you unleash all 
that lightning-fast Wi-Fi goodness over larger areas than ever - from bedroom and bathroom all the way to basement and backyard.
Made for Smart Home
The DIR-X1860 upgrades your network to the latest  11ax wireless technology which supports  8 simultaneous streams so it  easily  handles  all 
the connected devices you can throw at it all at the same time. Enjoy simultaneous throughput to multiple devices for seamless high definition 
streaming media, VR gaming, and cloud storage. In addition, the 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet WAN port gives you fast paced Internet 
access. The built-in Quality of Service (QoS) engine allows you to prioritize traffic to your preferred client, ensuring that your favorite devices are 
receiving optimal bandwidth.
Exceptional Capacity
If  you thought MU-MIMO in your Wi-Fi was  cool, wait till you meet Orthogonal Frequency  Division Multiple Access  (OFDMA). It’s a signature 
technology in 11ax that splits a channel into four sub-channels. The result? Signals from multiple devices get transmitted together in one shot and 
never have to queue up again. Get an incredible 4x boost in your bandwidth capacity - perfect for smart homes filled with bandwidth-hungry IoT 
devices threatening to devour your Wi-Fi capacity.
