The Wall Street Journal Takes our AC3200 Wi-Fi Router for a Ride (Literally)

By Dustin Illingworth · On February 4, 2015

We’ve been talking a lot about the AC3200 Ultra Wi-Fi Router (DIR-890L/R) lately (and why not – it’s super fast and beautiful for crying out loud!) – and now the Wall Street Journal has joined the conversation, too. In a solid networking round up, Joanna Stern notes that our AC3200 includes not only the faster speeds, better security protection, and new networking features you’d expect from a next-generation 802.11AC router – it also looks amazing, like “a cross between an alien spaceship and an upside-down crab.”

She wasn’t fooling around. With a modern smart home connecting a dozen or more devices at the same time (including the heavy lifting of streaming HD media to multiple devices simultaneously), it’s more important than ever to have an 11AC network powering the whole enterprise. And our AC3200 offers more than just raw speed and range. It’s got Tri-Band technology, which gives you an additional 5Ghz band to offload the most bandwidth intensive activities, and AC SmartBeam to track and deliver potent beams of Wi-Fi directly to your home’s devices.

So check out what the Wall Street Journal had to say and then watch the video below where Joanna…rides our AC3200 through space. What can’t this thing do?
