Both routers include mydlink Cloud Services for straightforward management and configuration in addition to integrated SharePort mobile functionality for sharing files and multimedia stored on an attached USB storage device.

D-Link Cloud routers address the growing demand for app-based solutions and high-speed wireless networking. “In the past, routers have often been a ‘set it and forget it’ kind of device,” said Tushar Sighat, CEO-D-Link (India) Limited. “That is, many owners didn’t give their wireless router a second thought after initial installation. However, the increased reliance on wireless requires a more proactive approach to network security and management.” Mr. Sighat continued, “It’s vital to know who is connecting to your wireless network and what they are viewing. D-Link cloud routers offer a convenient and simple user interface for doing just that, streamlining previously daunting tasks like checking which websites are being visited, blocking unwanted devices, and configuring automatic e-mail alerts for whenever unauthorized connections are attempted. Better yet, these functions can all be carried out from an iPhone, iPad, or Android device.”

D-Link Cloud Routers help owners to monitor and control their network from virtually anywhere using the industry-leading mydlink Cloud Services platform. Routers can be accessed from the web or via an iPhone, iPad, or Android device with the free mydlink Lite app available exclusively to D-Link customers.

When a USB hard drive or flash storage drive is connected to the router, the SharePort Mobile app for iPhone, iPad, or Android devices serves up effortless access to stored personal files and multimedia. Music, video, and photos can be streamed or transferred from the connected USB drive to multiple mobile devices from an intuitive touchscreen interface.

D-Link cloud routers can optionally be configured for the first time from the comfort of a couch, using the QRS (Quick Router Setup) Mobile app for iPhone or iPad. Owners with these devices need simply plug in the router, open the app, and follow a few easy steps to establish a wireless network throughout the home without ever once needing to touch a computer. Once a network is established, new devices can be securely added to a network at the touch of a button using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). WPA/WPA2 encryption and a built-in dual-active firewall (SPI and NAT) ensure that data sent wirelessly is secure.

The Cloud Router 1200 and Cloud Router 2000 establish a fast and reliable wireless network for delivering broadband Internet to devices throughout the home. Wireless N technology extends coverage and reduces dead spots and preserves compatibility with earlier wireless networking standards. The router’s high-powered amplifier boosts signal strength, while integrated intelligent antenna technology transmits multiple streams of data by bouncing wireless signals off of walls and sending a wireless connection to the farthest corners of a home or office. As a dual-band wireless router, the Cloud Router 2000 uses the 5Ghz frequency band to avoid interference with other nearby wireless devices like cordless phones and microwave ovens. The 5Ghz band is used in tandem with the 2.4Ghz band delivering up to double the bandwidth of single-band wireless solutions.

D-Link DIR-636L & DIR-826L will be made available all across India through leading retail outlets & its vast channel network at an estimated street price of Rs. 5100/- & Rs. 6000/- respectively. Both the products carry 1 year warranty.
