D-Link made several announcements to open International CES. The company announced the Gaming Router, Wireless AC1750 Dual-Band Gigabit Cloud Router, AC1200 Dual-Band Gigabit Cloud Router, the SharePort Go II and Cloud Camera 1050 and 1150.

The Gaming Router (DGL-5500) is the ultimate router for gaming, media streaming and network control. The router offers Gigabit AC1300 wireless speeds and intelligent bandwidth allocation. All gamers hate lag, which can be a huge problem for online play. D-Link’s Gaming Router uses Qualcomm StreamBoost technology to automatically prioritize Internet bandwidth to each application and device on a home network for high-performance, uninterrupted gaming even in the biggest multiplayer environments.

D-Link is pleasing high-speed router fans with the Wireless AC1750 Dual-Band Gigabit Cloud Router (DIR-868L) and AC1200 Dual-Band Gigabit Cloud Router (DIR-860L). The routers, priced at $149.99 and $169.99 respectively, deliver speeds of up to 1750mbps (N450mbps and AC1300mbps) for the AC1750 and 1200mbps (N300 and AC862mbps) for the AC1200. Both routers eliminate WiFi interference and extend coverage range. The cloud routers allow for remote network management from an iPhone, iPad or Android device using the free MyDlink Lite app in addition to a USB port with functionality for the free SharePort mobile app.

The SharePort Go II (DIR-508L) is a mobile solution for families, photographers and anyone who needs instant WiFi connectivity. The device, which is priced at $119.99, also allows for USB sharing capabilities with any iPad, iPhone or Android device via the free D-Link SharePort app along with the ability to recharge mobile devices. A USB port and SD card slot for easily storing and sharing content are built in. In addition, an Ethernet port gives users the opportunity to connect to an existing network.

The new Cloud Camera 1050 (DCS-931L) and Cloud Camera 1150 (DCS-933L) allow users to stream high-quality video content. The devices, priced at $79.99 and $99.99 respectively, are capable of such great quality because of the built-in CPUs and web servers. Both cameras offer 802.11n WiFi connectivity, H.264 video compression technology and infrared illumination technology for night viewing up to 16 feet away from the camera. They are also compatible with MyDlink and the MyDlink Lite app for remote viewing on PC, iPhone, iPad or Android devices.
