Over the last 40 years D-Link has been at the forefront of connectivity. From dialup to fibre, 1G to 5G and from the internet being rooted in one place in your home to constantly connected in your pocket, this company has been on the front lines of the ever-changing internet.
Now in South Africa local customers can visit d-link.co.za to browse the D-Link catalogue and see the wide range of technologies and features that the company has to offer South Africa and the world. This includes the mesh network system that finally makes home Wi-Fi as good as enterprise no matter the size of your home, innovative gaming hardware that improves performance, cloud networking through Nuclias and much more.
These are just some of the advancements that D-Link have on offer right now, but few are as impactful as what the company has been making recently for home and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) connectivity. The pandemic ushered in a new way of working where a significant amount of the workforce either moved to working remotely permanently or on a hybrid basis. It also puts a huge strain on smaller businesses to perform optimally, sometimes with expectations rivalling huge corporations and all of this depends on a solid connection to the internet.
That’s why you can find innovative products from D-Link such as the DWR-930M 4G/LTE Mobile Router pictured above. This clever little device is packing a huge amount of features centred on keeping you going. Slot in a SIM card to access high speed wireless internet of up to 150 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up.
The large 3 000 mAh battery again proves that big power can come in a little package. That battery can keep you connected for up to twelve hours. That’s twelve hours you’ve also saved not hunting for insecure public Wi-Fi or using up your precious mobile data or personal phone battery for a hotspot.
Need something even smaller? This router is only slightly larger than a USB stick but still provides the 150 Mbps down / 50 Mbps up fast internet speeds you need. Slip it into any pocket, connect your SIM when ready and plug it into an empty USB socket to get browsing instantly.
Again D-Link has added extra functionality, even to a device this small. An in-built microSD card slot allows this router to also act as a regular USB stick to carry your important files and media.
For a more traditional router option that is intended for permanent installation at home or work, go for the DWR-M920 4G N300 LTE Router. This sleek black device gives you both wireless and wired connection options for when you need both the flexibility of wireless and the rock-solid dependability of wired. The DWR-M920 is also your go to for fibre connections thanks to its WAN port.
Once you’ve got internet in the building it’s important to make sure that connection is available and dependable, which is where the DAP-2230/UAU Wireless N PoE Access Point comes in. This device distributes the Wi-Fi signal far and wide, expanding the reach of your router. Included wall and ceiling mounting hardware also allow you to place the DAP-2230/UAU exactly where it’s needed.
We’re not done just yet as the final item we want to highlight is the DWA-582 Wireless AC1300 Dual Band PCI Express Adapter. In an effort to save money, motherboard manufacturers simply don’t provide any way for desktop PCs to connect to the internet wirelessly. This device solves the issue by plugging into an empty PCI slot and instantly giving your desktop wireless internet capabilities. The 4.5 dBi external dipole antennas provide exceptional reach and speeds even for desktops that are banished under desks and into cupboards.
