1 Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11ac and IEEE 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors may adversely affect wireless signal range. Wireless range and speed rates are D-Link relative performance measurements based on the wireless range and speed rates of a standard Wireless G product from D-Link. Maximum throughput based on D-Link 802.11n devices.
2 Up to 600 Mbps data-rate with 256 QAM compatible wireless client.
3 Extender mode requires future firmware update, expected availability in Q1 2016.
