Section 1 - Product Overview

Introduction

The COVR-C1203 AC1200 Dual Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System is an elegant, high-performance home networking solution

comprised of three COVR-C1200 Covr Points. Each Covr Point features powerful AC1200 Wi-Fi combined with two on-board Gigabit

Ethernet ports to bring the uncompromised, full potential of AC1200 Wi-Fi to any area in your home, oering true seamless whole

home coverage. With COVR-C1203, D-Link has got you Covr’d.

Features

• Powerful Wi-Fi - Most whole home Wi-Fi systems use multiple low-performance devices to disperse Wi-Fi

throughout areas of the home. COVR-C1203 uses AC1200 Wi-Fi to create a blazing-fast, seamless whole home

network throughout your home, even in the most hard-to-reach places.

• Smart Roaming - The AC1200 Dual Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System creates a single, seamless wireless network

throughout your entire home using a single wireless network name (SSID). This means that once you connect,

your connection is maintained seamlessly as you and your wireless device roam throughout your home, allowing

you to experience an uninterrupted connection without buering, drop-outs, or dead spots.

• MU-MIMO Technology - Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) sends and receives data to and

from multiple devices simultaneously to increase speed and eciency. Your laptop, tablet, media player, and game

console can all be sending and receiving data at the same time, with no need to wait in line, allowing you to get

more out of your home Wi-Fi network than ever before.

Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11n and 802.11ac specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and

environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, may lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental

conditions will adversely aect wireless signal range.

Section 1 - Product Overview

• Smart Steering - Behind the scenes, each Covr Point automatically determines whether to connect a device to

the 2.4 or 5 GHz band, providing the best speed and range for each device and optimally distributing devices to

each network.

• Expandable Network - Covr is a scalable solution; extra Covr Points can be added to increase the reach of your

network. Scale up your Wi-Fi by adding another Covr Point to get true whole-home coverage.

• Easy Setup - Using the free D-Link Wi-Fi app or the intuitive web-based user interface, you can quickly set up the

COVR-C1203 and congure your network with your specic settings in a matter of minutes.
