SHAREPORT
D-Link has created SharePort™ technology to bring more flexibility to
your network. With SharePort technology you can connect a USB printer
or storage device to your router and allow users to access them from
anywhere on the network. Conveniently turn your existing USB printers
and storage devices into network devices for everyone to share.
WHY INTELLIGENT QoS IS BETTER
With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including VoIP,
Video Streaming, Online Gaming, and Web browsing are mixed together
into a single data stream. By handling data this way, applications like
video streaming could pause or delay. With D-Link's Intelligent QoS
Technology, wired and wireless traffic is analyzed and separated into
multiple data streams. These streams are then categorized by
sensitivity to delay, so applications like VoIP, Video Streaming, and
Online Gaming are given priority over Web browsing. This enables
multiple applications to stream smoothly to your TV or PC.
ADVANCED NETWORK SECURITY
The Xtreme N Gigabit Router supports the latest wireless security
features to help prevent unauthorized access, be it from over a
wireless network or from the Internet. Support for WPA™ and WPA2™
standards ensure that you will be able to use the best possible
encryption regardless of your client devices. In addition, this Xtreme
N router utilizes Dual Active Firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent
potential attacks from across the Internet. Also, the DIR-655 uses
advanced firewall features. The web-based user interface displays a
number of advanced network management features including:
- Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-655
can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and concurrent
