While Quality of Service (QoS) functionality is a common feature in routers across the market, typically only advanced users have the knowledge required to set up the complex parameters. Edimax though has redesigned QoS with user-friendliness and accessibility in mind. A simple and intuitive user interface allows users to arrange bandwidth priority settings in just a few clicks. With iQoS, you can enjoy gaming, video streaming, VoIP applications and BT clients at the same time without the usual nightmare of lag and interruptions. An original, efficient and effective means of managing your Internet bandwidth.Multi-SSID & VLAN supportMulti-SSID enables users to configure up to ten separate SSIDs (2.4GHz x 5 and 5GHz x 5) in order to group and manage users according to your requirements. In addition, each SSID can be assigned a different VLAN ID, so users with multiple VLANs can manage the network access level of each SSID – ensuring security and protecting confidential or critical network resources.Guest networkSupports a guest network to provide connectivity while isolating guests from your primary network.What’s in the BoxEdimax BR-6478AC V2Network cableExternal power adapterSoftwareMain SpecificationsNetwork / Transport ProtocolPPTP, L2TP, IPSec, PPPoE, DDNSRouting ProtocolStatic IP routingFeaturesDMZ port, IGMP snooping, DoS attack prevention, MAC address filtering, VPN passthrough, URL filtering, IP address filtering, Access Point operational mode, firmware upgradable, WMM support, QoS, virtual server support, WPS, port triggering, SPIF, IGMP proxyCompliant StandardsIEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n, UPnP, IEEE 802.11acDimensions (WxDxH)19.02 cm x 17.2 cm x 4.2 cmWeight322 gProduct DescriptionEdimax BR-6478AC V2 – wireless router – Wi-Fi 5 – desktopDevice TypeWireless router – 4-port switch (integrated)Enclosure TypeDesktopWAN Ports Qty1Data Link ProtocolEthernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11acFrequency Band2.4 GHz / 5 GHzData Transfer Rate867 MbpsExtended SpecificationsGeneralDevice TypeWireless router – 4-port switch (integrated)Enclosure TypeDesktopConnectivity TechnologyWireless, wiredData Link ProtocolEthernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11acFrequency Band2.4 GHz / 5 GHzData Transfer Rate867 MbpsNetwork / Transport ProtocolPPTP, L2TP, IPSec, PPPoE, DDNSRouting ProtocolStatic IP routingEncryption Algorithm128-bit WEP, 64-bit WEP, WPA, WPA2FeaturesDMZ port, IGMP snooping, DoS attack prevention, MAC address filtering, VPN passthrough, URL filtering, IP address filtering, Access Point operational mode, firmware upgradable, WMM support, QoS, virtual server support, WPS, port triggering, SPIF, IGMP proxyCompliant StandardsIEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n, UPnP, IEEE 802.11ac, FCC, RoHSRAM64 MBFlash Memory8 MBStatus IndicatorsPower, WLAN, USB, InternetExpansion / ConnectivityInterfacesWAN: 1 x 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T – RJ-45 LAN: 4 x 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T – RJ-45 USB 2.0: 1 x 4 pin USB Type AAerialAerialExternal detachableAntenna Qty2PowerPower DeviceExternal power adapterMiscellaneousCables Included1 x network cableSoftware / System RequirementsSoftware IncludedDrivers & UtilitiesDimensions & WeightWidth19.02 cmDepth17.2 cmHeight4.2 cmWeight322 gEnvironmental ParametersMin Operating Temperature0 °CMax Operating Temperature40 °CHumidity Range Operating10 – 90% (non-condensing)
