The TD-W8980 does the work of several networking devices packed into one sleek device. With an ADSL2+ modem, NAT router and dual band wireless access point, this device eliminates the need to purchase multiple devices to access and share high-speed internet connections.
You can run day-to-day applications like e-mailing and web browsing over the 2.4GHz band at 300Mbps, more latency sensitive tasks like online gaming or HD video streaming can be processed over the 5GHz band at 300Mbps – all at the same time.
With 4 Gigabit LAN ports, the TD-W8980 is the ideal choice for bandwidth heavy users that rely on speedy, reliable connections for bandwidth intensive work or entertainment such as lag-free conference calls, HD video streaming or online gaming.
With 3 external 5dBi antennas serving the 5GHz band and 2 internal antennas serving the 2.4GHz band combined with higher quality antenna technology, you can maintain high speeds across greater distances. This provides you with incredible wireless coverage and reliability from anywhere in your large home or office.
Using the TD-W8980’s two multi-functional USB 2.0 ports, users can share printers, files and media either throughout the network at home with several different computers or even away, using the device’s FTP server functions so that you never have to part with your files.
The TD-W8980 supports ADSL or Ethernet WAN connections (EWAN) that allow users to have the flexibility of different Internet connections among ADSL, cable or fiber modem using its interchangeable LAN/WAN port. This unique feature makes it easier when users need to change to fiber or cable services when necessary.
