Multi-Device Efficiency
MU-MIMO (Multiple User - Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology serves multiple devices simultaneously instead of one at a time, for better performance and efficiency on networks with multiple devices. Four streams with blistering 11ac Wave 2.

Smarter Wi-Fi Roaming
A seamless connection while you move around your home without hassle of switching SSIDs (network name). Your extender and router use the same SSID for seamless roaming* that automatically switches your Wi-Fi device to the best signal. (*Use with an Edimax Gemini RE11S add-on extender for always-connected Wi-Fi.)

Flexible Concurrent Dual-Band Connectivity
Providing simultaneous 2.4GHz (802.11n) and 5GHz (802.11ac) wireless network connectivity for maximum flexibility of use and the best of both worlds.

VPN Remote Network Access for Privacy & Security
Built-in Virtual Private Network (VPN) support for easy VPN access on all your devices. VPNs enable you to access secure, remote networks from anywhere and can offer privacy and security online. Log in to your work/school network remotely or avoid geoblocking, protect privacy on public Wi-Fi and bypass Internet censorship.

Home Users: Avoid regional restrictions and access geoblocked content such as Netflix or iPlayer from anywhere. Ensure your privacy and anonymity online and defeat censorship and other location-based content restrictions. You can also remotely access your home network when you’re away, and use your encrypted VPN for security when out and about using potentially unsafe public Wi-Fi hotspots. 

Small Office Users: Enable your employees to access company resources remotely such as email, documents saved on the company server and any programs/systems when they are outside the office.

Guest Network
Supports a guest network to provide connectivity while isolating guests from your primary network.

Smart iQ Setup
