How to Make Wi-Fi Dead Zones a Thing of the Past

By David Lux · On September 15, 2016

There are many factors that can impact Wi-Fi performance and coverage throughout your home. The size of your home, the number of devices you’re connecting, and obstacles in the way of your router, are just a few variables that can lead to poor wireless signal in certain areas. As we’ve discussed before, there are a few ways to fix poor Wi-Fi. But one of the easiest ways is to utilize a Range Extender.

A range extender works with your router to extend wireless coverage to even the farthest corners of your home. If you have a room that doesn’t seem to get much love from your router, our newest range extender is perhaps the perfect solution.

The all-new AC2600 Wi-Fi Extender (DAP-1860) not only delivers blazing fast 11AC Wi-Fi dual band connectivity – with up to 1,732Mbps on the 5GHz band and 800Mbps on the 2.4GHz band – but it also features MU-MIMO technology. This next-generation Wi-Fi feature helps the DAP-1860 deliver high-bandwidth network traffic on multiple devices at the same time.

Other features packed into the DAP-1860 include SmartConnect, which allocates the best possible band for optimal Wi-Fi performance, as well as Smart Beam Forming that tracks your connected devices for enhanced speed. A high-speed gigabit port is included to ensure the best wired online experience for 4K/HD streaming and gaming. And, with a built-in setup wizard and QRS Mobile app, setup and configuration of the DAP-1860 is incredibly simple. Plus, a Smart Signal Indicator on the front of the device will help you find best location for optimal coverage.

Boosting the range of your existing Wi-Fi is a common problem, but it’s one that’s easily solvable with the new AC2600 Wi-Fi Range Extender. With the push of a button, you’ll be able to extend high-speed Wi-Fi coverage for all of your devices in hard-to-reach areas like basements, upstairs bedrooms, outdoor areas, and throughout your home.
