Hikvision AC1200 Gigabit Port Wireless Router DS-3WR12GC

The Hikvision DS-3WR12GC is a dual-band wireless router that supports the AC1200 standard. Let’s break down what this means:

Dual-Band: The router operates on two frequency bands: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Each band has its own advantages:

2.4 GHz: Provides better coverage and can penetrate walls and obstacles more effectively. However, it may be more crowded due to other devices (like microwaves and cordless phones) using the same frequency.
5 GHz: Offers higher speeds but has a shorter range. It’s less crowded and ideal for tasks like streaming HD videos or online gaming.
AC1200 Standard:

The AC1200 designation indicates the maximum combined speed of both bands. Specifically:
300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band.
867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band.
This total speed of 1200 Mbps makes it suitable for multiple devices simultaneously.
Gigabit Ports:

The DS-3WR12GC features four Gigabit Ethernet ports. These ports allow you to connect devices via wired connections, providing high-speed data transfer.
Antennas:

It comes with four 5 dBi amplified antennas, which help enhance signal strength and coverage.
Beamforming:

The router supports beamforming technology, which optimizes the signal direction towards connected devices. This can improve overall performance.
MU-MIMO:

MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) allows the router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously, reducing latency and improving efficiency.
