applications. The DIR-862L also includes a 4-port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet switch that connects wired devices to enjoy

D-Link has created SharePort™ technology to bring more flexibility to your network. With SharePort™ technology, you can
connect a USB printer and share it throughout your network. You can also share a USB storage device, providing network
storage for everyone to share.
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, bandwidth intensive applications like video streaming could
pause or delay. With D-Link Intelligent QoS Technology, wired and wireless traffic are analyzed and separated into multiple
data streams.
The DIR-862L supports the latest wireless security features to help prevent unauthorized access, be it over a wireless network
or the Internet. Support for WPA™ and WPA2™ standards ensures that you will be able to use the best possible encryption
regardless of your client devices. In addition, this router utilizes Dual Active Firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks
from across the Internet making it the ideal centerpiece for your wireless network in the home or office.
