Dubai, UAE – April 17, 2016 – Linksys® the first to sell 100 million routers globally and a leader in networking solutions for the home and business, will feature its first home-grade access point, the Linksys Dual Band AC750 Wireless Access Point (WAP750AC). The new access point will help extend the home Wi-Fi signal throughout the home for better connectivity and performance in hard to reach areas.

“Consumers no longer consider it a luxury but a necessity to have all their devices in the home connected simultaneously to Wi-Fi signal including smart phones, TVs, tablets, computers and home automation solutions,” said Aman Khan, Linksys Managing Director for the MEA region. “A stable and strong Wi-Fi signal is critical for connecting the devices in your home today and a good wireless access point can help future proof the home as new devices are added to ensure they have a seamless and strong Wi-Fi signal.”

The new WAP750AC will work with any router by simply plugging the access point into one of the Ethernet ports on the router with a Cat5 cable. Users can also choose to use the access point as a range extender which will eliminate the need of having to plug into the router via a cable while still boosting wireless coverage to device with weak connectivity.

Simultaneous Dual-Band (5 GHz + 2.4 GHz): Two independent, dedicated Wi-Fi bands that deliver combined speeds of up to 733 Mbps*

External Antennas: Two external antennas for connecting devices throughout the home

Beamforming Technology: Focuses and strengthens the Wi-Fi signal for improved performance and throughput
