The DIR-636L and DIR-826L have 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports and support WPA/WPA2 security and Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). They come with a built-in dual-active firewall (SPI and NAT) to ensure that data sent wirelessly is secure, and built-in high-powered amplifier for extended coverage. The Cloud Router 2000 supports dual-band WiFi, meaning you can get maximum performance by streaming HD movies and other media over the 5GHz band while simultaneously browsing the Internet and checking your email using the 2.4GHz band.
