D-Link® is proud to present the new Limited Edition Xtreme N™ Gigabit Router (DIR-660). Introducing new cutting edge technology, D-Link raises the bar once again by incorporating the industry’s first OLED display on the router that monitors your network activity. Created around the idea of “You can never have too much information,” the Network Activity Display provides time-saving benefits for network specialists and the casual network administrator alike.

With a luminous and vivid display, pertinent information will be relayed to you on-demand. Whether you want to monitor your network’s health or are unsure of network settings, you can quickly check all of your router security types, network connectivity, wireless network names, and other settings.

ADVANCED NETWORK SECURITY

Since security is a large concern for networks, the DIR-660 provides the strongest level of wireless protection available to you today: WPA2™. The defense doesn’t stop there.

To help combat these potential threats, the DIR-660 provides you with Dual Active Firewalls and a host of harm negating features to keep the information where it belongs.
