In its most significant new product launch for some time, D-Link has kicked off 2022 by unveiling its all-new R15 EAGLE PRO AI AX1500 Smart Router, M15-2PK and M15-3PK EAGLE PRO AI AX1500 Mesh Systems and E15 AX1500 Mesh Range Extender. The powerful new EAGLE PRO AI series combines the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology with artificial intelligence (AI) to offer incredible Wi-Fi coverage and speed – delivering a continuously optimising and improving network, ideal for home users and small offices.
D-Link A/NZ MD, Graeme Reardon said, “The EAGLE PRO AI Series is particularly significant as it is the first series to offer a complete range of products that not only integrate the latest in Wi-Fi 6 technology with artificial intelligence to offer incredible Wi-Fi coverage and speed, but have been specifically designed to do so together, from the ground up. This means users get the most seamless, powerful, efficient and easy to use Wi-Fi experience possible.”
The R15 EAGLE PRO AI AX1500 Smart Router offers dual-band wireless speeds of up to 1,500 Mbps, delivering blazing-fast Wi-Fi with increased range and reliability and Wi-Fi coverage of up to 230 square metres. This allows Wi-Fi to be experienced like never before and offers a perfect solution for those who require stable Wi-Fi with minimal interference.
Bringing Wi-Fi 6 technology and AI into one place, the R15 offers 1024 QAM, MU-MIMO and OFDMA to boost speed, range, and network efficiency. The built-in AI Wi-Fi Optimiser continuously scans for the Wi-Fi channels with the least interference to always offer the best connection.
At the same time, the AI Traffic Optimiser prioritises the most critical Internet usage for optimal online experience and stability. AI Parental Control offers users flexibility and control over children’s online activities ensuring their safety is always prioritised.
The new router is easy to set up and manage and you can even create an extended mesh Wi-Fi with the E15 EAGLE PRO AI Mesh Extender or the M15-2PK and M15-3PK Mesh Systems. It also features the AI Mesh Optimiser, which strengthens the connection between mesh nodes with unique AI beamforming technology, to deliver seamless and reliable Wi-Fi.
Managing your Wi-Fi has never been easier with the integrated AI Assistant which continuously reviews the network and monitors data usage, sending recommendations and weekly reports to the EAGLE PRO AI app.
D-Link’s new M15-2PK two-pack and M15-3PK three pack EAGLE PRO AI AX1500 Mesh Systems and E15 AX1500 Mesh Range Extender again offer incredible Wi-Fi 6 coverage and speed, similarly and continuously optimised and improved like the R15 through artificial intelligence and faultless connectivity.
The EAGLE PRO AI AX1500 M15-2PK and M15-3PK Mesh Systems are designed to offer seamless Wi-Fi coverage of up to 370 square metres and 500 square metres respectively, with the option to expand to a maximum of four units. Again, the AI Mesh Optimiser establishes the strongest link between them to give you a robust mesh network across your entire home.
The E15 EAGLE PRO AI AX1500 Mesh Range Extender allows you to extend your Wi-Fi to where it is needed most to experience next-generation Wi-Fi. When combined with an existing EAGLE PRO AI Smart Router or Mesh System it fully utilises all the AI functionality to once again create an intelligent Mesh Wi-Fi network that is continuously optimising and improving. At the same time, the integrated Gigabit Ethernet port allows you to easily connect a wired device such as a Smart TV to your Wi-Fi network.
Similarly, the built-in AI Assistant automatically reviews the network, sending recommendations and reports, accessible through the EAGLE PRO AI app or the device web configuration page, while WPA3 support means your Wi-Fi network is protected by the latest in wireless encryption technology.
What’s more, the EAGLE PRO AI Series is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, allowing users to use voice control to easily manage their network in the most convenient way.
