EnGenius X-TRA RANGE ESR1750 IEEE 802.11ac Wireless Router

The EnGenius ESR1750 is a draft IEEE 802.11ac Dual Band cloud router with a built-in Gigabit switch and 5 GHz wireless speeds (up to 1300 Mbps) that are faster than wired Gigabit and nearly 3x faster than Wireless N. It also features remote media sharing and router management with EnShare.Designed for the serious audio/videophile, the EnGenius ESR1750 is a draft IEEE 802.11ac Dual Band Wireless AC1750 Cloud Router with a 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet switch, Gigabit Ethernet WAN port and USB port. With the free EnShare app, families can use their Apple iPhones, iPads or Android-based tablets or smartphones to transfer video, music and other files to and from a router-attached USB hard drive when they're in the home or when they're away from home. Parents can also use EnShare to remotely monitor Cloud Router usage or disconnect devices connected to the Cloud Router whenever they're away from home via an Internet connection.While this AC router is backwards compatible with previous 802.11 a/b/g and n products its 5 GHz band utilizes Quantum Beam, that concentrates and accelerates wireless speeds with AC computers and other devices (up to 1300 Mbps) exceeding wired Gigabit speeds and nearly 3x faster than Wireless N. As a result, the ESR1750 is ideal for connecting home entertainment devices like HDTVs, Blu-ray players, set top boxes or game consoles so they can access a family's Internet connection either through its wired Gigabit ports or wirelessly.The ESR1750 also supports several security features and settings including industry standard wireless encryption, such as WPA/WPA2 (Wireless Protected Access) to prevent unauthorized access to the home network; an advanced SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall to block malicious software from the Internet from accessing networked devices; MAC Address filtering to grant only known computers and devices network access; and URL filtering to block access to unwanted or offensive websites. The ESR1750 also includes robust VPN (Virtual Private Network) features so remote workers can securely connect to a corporate office while still meets the sharing and Internet access needs of other family members and their devices.Users can also enable up to eight separate and discrete SSIDs, Service Set Identifiers (four SSIDs per frequency band) or ways to access the network. One Guest Access option can be applied to each frequency band giving families the ability to offer friends or visitors Internet access or access to specific devices, like networked printers, while protecting other networked computers or hard drives in the home that may contain private information.This smart router also employs Advanced QoS (Quality of Service) to prioritize bandwidth-intensive applications like video and gaming or bandwidth sensitive applications like VoIP (Voice over IP) telephone calls for optimal connectivity whether over wired or wireless connections.
