Specifically designed to keep IoT networks safe, this dual-band 802.11ac router uses McAfee’s Global Threat Intelligence to identify and correct malware and other malicious attacks before it has a chance to infect the devices connected to your network.

The device is expected to be popular in the specialist B2b reseller channel.

The device also requires two different apps, there is the D-Link WiFi app for set up and the McAfee Secure Home Platform app for remote management.

The tri-band system offers AC2200 WiFi and is capable of covering 5,500 metres, while the dual-band system provides AC1200 WiFi to an area up to 464 metres.

Users will get smart roaming, which allows you to transition between nodes without having to manually switch your connection as well as smart steering, which will automatically move connections between bands for optimum speeds.
