D-Link has announced its new Aquila Pro AI AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 smart mesh router (M30) which aims to address coverage, speed and reliability for Wi-Fi in the home with a built in AI algorithm.
The M30 boasts a wall-mountable design and accommodates five internal antennas, providing three-dimensional 360-degree coverage. The AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Smart Mesh Router uses an antenna array design to extend a stronger Wi-Fi signal, boosting spherical coverage and aiming to eliminate dead zones. A single unit can provide coverage of up to 260 sq m and can be extended by adding additional Aquila Pro AI devices, delivering Wi-Fi connectivity for more devices throughout the home.
Powered by Wi-Fi 6 technology, the Aquila Pro AI M30 delivers speeds of up to 3 Gbps, supporting 160 MHz bandwidth, one Gigabit Internet WAN port, and four Gigabit LAN ports for wired devices such as smart TVs, gaming consoles, and PCs.
The M30 employs AI technology, including AI Wi-Fi Optimiser, AI Mesh Optimiser, and AI Traffic Optimiser, to ensure Wi-Fi performance for all devices. AI Wi-Fi Optimiser selects the optimal channel for minimal interference, while AI Mesh Optimiser provides reliable network coverage using auto path selection and self-healing capabilities. AI Traffic Optimiser allows for uninterrupted 4K/8K video streaming and video calling with AI-based QoS technology.
The M30 is designed to set up your Wi-Fi network and manage it with the Aquila Pro AI App. The AI Assistant monitors network performance and provides weekly reports, even when you are away from home. The M30 is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice control.
As part of "D-Link Green," the Aquila Pro AI M30 adheres to green design principles. The chassis is made from part of post-consumer recycled (PCR) material, promoting environmental sustainability. The packaging uses natural plant-based Mineral Oil Free (MOF) ink. M30 also leverages Wi-Fi 6 Target Wake Time (TWT) feature to reduce power and offers a health mode that automatically turns off the router during the night.
