D-Link announced two new whole-home Wi-Fi solutions, the Covr Wi-Fi System (DKT-883) and the Covr PowerLine Wi-Fi System (DHP-W732AV). The Covr Wi-Fi system is a simple, intelligent solution that uses a high-performance router and seamless extender to create a single network with ultra-fast speeds and reliable connectivity, to even the farthest reaches of a home. The Covr PowerLine Wi-Fi System (DHP-W732AV), one of the first whole-home Wi-Fi solutions to utilize PowerLine technology as a foundation, uses the existing home router and a set of adapters to create a full coverage solution. While other mesh network solutions rely on multiple access points, D-Link's Covr Wi-Fi System uses a premium router as the backbone of the wireless network. The router provides the advanced features and speed needed to power bandwidth intensive activities like 4K streaming and gaming on multiple devices. Combined with seamless extenders to cover hard to reach areas, Covr delivers a Wi-Fi signal to all areas of the home including upstairs, basements and backyards. D-Link's line of Covr products utilize award-winning Wi-Fi solutions with self-organizing network (Wi-Fi SON) features from Qualcomm Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, to simplify networking and deliver exceptional whole-home coverage. The Covr PowerLine Wi-Fi System (DHP-W732AV)1 creates a whole-home Wi-Fi network using advanced PowerLine technology as the foundation. PowerLine uses the home's existing electrical wiring to transfer network data, essentially turning electrical circuitry into a high-speed wired network and making every power socket a potential network outlet3. Using the existing home router, the Cover PowerLine Wi-Fi System extends Wi-Fi coverage to hard-to-reach areas of the home as well as the wired network. Featuring three Gigabit Ethernet ports per adapter, users can connect computers, smart TVs and other devices, eliminating the need to run Ethernet cables throughout the home. As more devices are added to Covr's network, its intuitive features take away the complexity of managing a home wireless network. Smart Steering technology works to balance the load between the 2.4 and 5GHz wireless bands. Covr intelligently prioritizes activities and steers devices between bands as more devices connect, making sure each device has optimal performance. Covr, unlike a traditional router-extender solution, creates a seamless network with a single network name (SSID) which allows users to move throughout the home while devices automatically connect to the strongest signal, eliminating the need to disconnect and reconnect. Additional Seamless Extenders (DAP-1655) can be added to expand coverage in larger homes.
