300Mbps).
The router supports multiple functions for the wireless interface: several security standards (WEP,
WPA/WPA2), MAC address filtering, WPS, WMM.
Smart adjustment of Wi-Fi clients is useful for networks based on several D-Link access points or
routers – when the smart adjustment function is configured on each of them, a client always
connects to the access point (router) with the highest signal level.

security settings and maximum rate limitation. Devices connected to the guest network will be able
to access the Internet, but will be isolated from the devices and resources of the router's LAN.

access to adult content on children's devices.
