transfer speeds of up to N300 Mbps + AC867 Mbps for seamless HD streaming
without interruptions.Simultaneous Dual Band Wi-FiThe RE6500 features
simultaneous dual bands, which means it transmits at both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz
frequencies at the same time. It extends 2.4 and 5GHz Wi-Fi up to N300 Mbps +
AC867 Mbps and reduces interference. So no matter which band your wireless
devices use, they’ll automatically connect to the best available band for the
fastest possible performance.New Innovative Crossband TechnologyWith Crossband
technology, the dual wireless bands can now receive information on one band
and transmit on the other, reducing dropped data packets and delivering a
stronger, more consistent signal throughout your home.Four Gigabit Ethernet

system or a speaker to the range extender and wirelessly stream music from
your smartphone or laptop.Security Support to Protect Your DataLike other
