Section 1 - Product Overview
• Superior Wireless Networking - The DIR-879 provides Gigabit wireless speeds of up to a combined 1900 Mbps
(1300 Mbps 802.11ac 5 GHz, plus 600 Mbps 802.11n 2.4 GHz)
users to participate in real-time activities online, such as HD video communication, online gaming, and use
mobile devices from anywhere in your home while still offering full 802.11n/g/b backward compatibility.
• Extreme Wired LAN and WAN Networking - With four 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, and a
10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet WAN port, the DIR-879 has an enormous amount of bandwidth to take full
advantage of the highest speed broadband connections available. Powered by a 1.0 GHz Dual Core CPU, the
DIR-879 has the brains and the power to simultaneously stream multiple HD videos to set top boxes and mobile
devices, participate in online gaming with consoles or PCs, run a cloud-enabled home surveillance system, and
copy massive files without slowdowns, lag, or stuttering.
• Smart Connect - Creates a 'single' wireless network for your devices to connect to. Behind the scenes, the
DIR-879 automatically determines whether to connect a device to the 2.4 or 5 GHz band, thereby providing the
best speed and range for each device and optimally distributing devices to each network.
• Advanced Firewall Features - The web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network
management features. Easily apply content filtering based on MAC address, URL, and/or domain name.
Schedule these filters to be active on certain days or for a duration of hours or minutes.
• Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-879 can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and
concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-879 can securely access corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use web-based user interface or QRS Mobile (Quick Router
Setup) App, the DIR-879 lets you quickly configure and secure your router to your specific settings in minutes.
• Router or Extender Mode - With the flick of a switch, you can easily set up your DIR-879 to operate as the core
device of your network in Router Mode, or add your DIR-879 to an existing network using Extender Mode using
Ethernet.
1 Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11n and 802.11ac specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and
environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental
conditions will adversely affect wireless signal range.
