D-Link EAGLE PRO AI AX1500 4G+ Smart Router G416 WAN RJ-45 Wi-Fi 6

EAGLE PRO AI AX1500 4G+ Smart Router combines Wi‑Fi 6 performance with a 4G+ LTE‑A Cat 6 backup to deliver reliable high-speed wireless and wired connectivity for homes with many devices. It supports 4K streaming, VR gaming, video calls and multiple smart home devices while offering automatic failover to mobile internet when fixed broadband is unavailable. The router includes two external antennas for improved 4G reception and three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for wired sharing.

Advantages

The router provides efficient multi-device connectivity with Wi‑Fi 6 features such as 1024 QAM, MU‑MIMO and BSS‑colouring to maintain stable throughput for up to four simultaneous streams. AI Convenience automatically optimises network settings, while dual‑WAN auto‑failover switches traffic to the 4G+ LTE‑A Cat 6 mobile connection when the fixed line fails. WPA3 and IEC 62443‑4‑1 compliance protect the network from unauthorised access. The EAGLE PRO AI app offers management via a personal AI Assistant and supports voice control through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Coverage can be expanded using E15 Wi‑Fi extenders to form a mesh network.

How to use

Insert a compatible SIM card to enable the 4G+ LTE‑A Cat 6 mobile connection, or connect the router to your fixed broadband (fibre/cable/DSL). Configure and monitor the network using the free EAGLE PRO AI app, where you can enable AI optimisation, set parental profiles, create guest logins and manage connected devices. For wired devices, use any of the three Gigabit LAN ports. To extend coverage, add E15 Wi‑Fi extenders and set up a mesh network through the app.

Recommendations

Use the router’s dual‑WAN auto‑failover in environments with unstable fixed broadband or in locations without reliable wired internet. Enable WPA3 and IEC 62443‑4‑1 security settings, set parental controls for family devices, and add E15 extenders for larger homes or multi‑floor properties to eliminate dead zones.
