D-Link’s M60 AQUILA PRO AI AX6000 device acts as a ‘router’, extender and WiFi 6 access point

D-Link has announced the availability of D-Link M60 AQUILA PRO AI AX6000 a versatile device that can act as a ‘router’, extender and WiFi 6 access point, offering up to 6,000 Mbps and 4×4 antenna configuration.

The M60 belongs to the AQUILA PRO AI range, an ecosystem designed to create mesh networks under WiFi 6 and composed of the M30 (the “little brother” of the M60, with WiFi 6 up to 3,000 Mbps) and the E30 wall extender. It is now available, with a recommended price of 199 euros.

The new device combines an advanced design with AI-based technology to optimize traffic prioritization and roaming in mesh networks. As explained by D-Link, it is powered by the WiFi 6 standard (802.11ax), offers speeds of up to 6,000 Mbps in simultaneous dual band (1,148 Mbps on 2.4GHz, 4,804 Mbps on 5GHz).

It also integrates four antennas for the 2.4GHz band y four antennas for the 5GHz band, in which it also supports 160 MHz channel bandwidth to achieve higher speeds and lower saturation. For wired connections, it has a 2.5 Gigabit WAN port and four Gigabit LAN ports.

A ello se une an antenna design to achieve a WiFi signal with spherical coverage, so that the diffusion of radio frequency is more homogeneous. And if it is necessary to extend coverage, it is possible to add more units of the same M60 or the AQUILA PRO AI range, which provides WiFi connectivity in a mesh network with automatic roaming to the nearest node using the IEEE 802.11 k/v standard. fast roaming.

In addition to being a ‘router’ and extender, the M60 also works as a WiFi hotspot, connected by cable to the operator’s router to achieve maximum performance and bandwidth, avoiding the loss inherent when the connection between the router and the extender/amplifier is wireless.

The technology company has also highlighted the M60, adheres to eco-design principles. The chassis is made from some post-consumer recycled material and uses 99 percent natural ink without mineral oil. It also takes advantage of WiFi 6’s ‘Target Wake Time’ function – the device determines when and how often it will wake up to send or receive data which automatically helps reduce battery consumption of connected mobile phones or tablets.
