D-Link launches AI-Powered Aquila Pro M60 AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Systems

On the back of the huge reception to the recently launched AQUILA PRO AI M30 AX3000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Systems, D-Link ANZ has expanded the Aquila Pro range with its new AQUILA PRO AI M60 AX6000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Systems. These high-performance Mesh Systems, available as a Single / Add-on Unit, a 2-Pack and a 3-Pack, continue the engineering focus on addressing the three most common pain points of Wi-Fi users: coverage, speed, and usability, but to the next level. Featuring built-in AI technology, the AQUILA PRO M60 AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Systems are set to continue the revolution of the home networking experience.

Drawing inspiration from M30 and the Aquila constellation (Latin for eagle), the M60’s design concept continues the unique evolution of traditional router design. The AQUILA PRO AI M60 boasts an elegant, wall-mountable design to seamlessly blend with any decor and its five upgraded internal antennas provide even wider, more spherical coverage, making the M60 the ideal centrepiece for every connected home.

As part of “D-Link Green”, D-Link’s long-running environmental initiative, the AQUILA PRO AI M60 also closely adheres to green design principles. The chassis is made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) material, promoting environmental sustainability. The packaging uses 99% natural plant-based Mineral Oil Free (MOF) ink and the gift box design reduces printing ink usage by over 55%. The M60 also leverages the Wi-Fi 6 Target Wake Time (TWT) feature to reduce power consumption and offers a health mode that automatically turns the router into an ultra-low power standby mode during the night ensuring energy efficiency.

Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice control, users can effortlessly manage their smart home. The AQUILA PRO AI M60 masterfully combines aesthetics and functionality, providing a hassle-free Wi-Fi solution that delivers seamless connectivity, lightning-fast speeds, and high levels of usability across your home network.

The AQUILA PRO AI M60 AX6000 Wi-Fi Mesh Systems use a special antenna array designed to extend a stronger Wi-Fi signal, boosting spherical coverage and eliminating dead zones. The Single / Add-On M60 provides coverage up to 280 square metres, whilst the 2-Pack M60 Wi-Fi- Mesh System covers a home up to 510 square metres, and the 3-Pack M60 AX6000 Wi-Fi Mesh System covers a simply enormous 740 square metres, delivering seamless Wi-Fi connectivity for more devices throughout even the largest of homes.

Powered by Wi-Fi 6 technology, the AQUILA PRO AI M60 delivers extreme speeds of up to 6Gbps, supporting 160MHz bandwidth, along with a 2.5G Internet WAN port and four Gigabit LAN ports supporting wired devices such as smart TVs, gaming consoles, and PCs. As a result, the M60 ensures ultra-fast Wi-Fi or Wired connections, even when the entire family is online.

The AQUILA PRO AI M60 employs innovative AI technology, including an AI Wi-Fi Optimiser, AI Mesh Optimiser and AI Traffic Optimiser to ensure superior Wi-Fi performance for all your devices. The AI Wi-Fi Optimiser selects the optimal channel for each connected device, minimising interference, whilst the AI Mesh Optimiser provides fast and reliable network coverage using auto path selection and self-healing capabilities. AI Traffic Optimiser guarantees uninterrupted 4K/8K video streaming and video calling with AI-based QoS technology, ensuring a seamless and uninterrupted experience.

The AQUILA PRO AI M60 complies with the latest WPA3 encryption and IEC 62443-4-1 standards, safeguarding your network against unauthorised access. It also offers parental controls and separate guest networks to ensure the security of all home Wi-Fi devices.

AQUILA PRO AI M60 Mesh Systems are designed to enable you to effortlessly set up your Wi-Fi network and manage it with the intuitive AQUILA PRO AI App. The AI Assistant monitors network performance and provides weekly reports, even when you are away from home, making it a hassle-free and convenient experience.
