D-Link ANZ has launched two new models in its line of mesh gigabit Wi-Fi Routers – the AC1750 Wi-Fi Certified EasyMesh Router DIR-1750 and the AC2100 Gigabit Router DIR-2150.

The new D-Link Mesh Wi-Fi Routers work with D-Link Mesh Extenders to make overall home Wi-Fi performance more efficient. The mesh solution used by D-Link Routers enables the new Routers to create and maintain a single, personalised home network. The result is a Wi-Fi network with expanded coverage to meet connectivity needs.

Each router comes equipped with MU-MIMO technology. This is complemented by Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa integration, including voice control capability, satisfying smart homeowners who want to manage devices using network commands.

Users can also manage these new routers on any Android and iOS smartphone or tablet where they can enable profile-based parental controls to create unique user network access on devices to set schedules, limit Internet access and more.

D-Link ANZ MD Graeme Reardon says, "Today's households want a Wi-Fi Router that combines superior performance and cutting-edge features without breaking the bank. These two new D-Link Wi-Fi Mesh Gigabit Routers allow users to enjoy coverage to match their increasing number of high-bandwidth devices. Easy setup and management via the D-Link Wi-Fi App and comprehensive parental controls all reinforce our commitment to providing consumers with safe, secure and best-in-class networking."
