D-Link today announced two next generation Covr whole home Wi-Fi solutions – the 3-pack Dual-Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System (COVR-C1203) and the 2-pack Tri-Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System (COVR-2202). The Covr Wi-Fi systems are simple, intelligent solutions that offer a scalable mesh wireless network for ultra-fast speeds and seamless coverage to the furthest reaches of a home. Featuring a warm and home-friendly design, both Covr models offer Smart Roaming for a seamless connection and Smart Steering to guide devices to the optimum wireless band.

"With this new Covr lineup, we are bridging the gap between mesh networking early adopters and general, everyday users," said Nima Jamshidi, senior product line manager, D-Link Systems. "The new Covr Whole Home Wi-Fi Systems are scalable and interoperable, so a dual-band or tri-band Covr Point can be added for more coverage where needed – meaning no matter the size or shape of the house, there is a Covr solution that fits."

The Tri-Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System (COVR-2202), a CES Innovations award honoree, is a high-power, seamless solution that blankets every inch of the home with ultra-fast AC2200 Wi-Fi. Offering tri-band connectivity to deliver high performance and more coverage with one seamless network, the COVR-2202 delivers faster downloads and lag-free 4Kstreaming, and comes with high-power amplifiers to cover up to 6,000 sq. ft. with ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi. Leveraging Smart Backhaul design for the dedicated 5 GHz wireless backhaul, the built-in vertical and horizontal antenna combination optimizes connectivity between Covr points to provide maximum Wi-Fi throughout the home. In addition, built-in Alexa compatibility allows for a voice controlled Wi-Fi network.

The Dual-Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System (COVR-C1203) stretches AC1200 wireless signal to all corners of the home with its 2x3 antenna configuration for maximized range and connectivity. Delivering seamless coverage for up to 5,000 sq. ft. with three Covr points, the COVR-C1203 is fast enough to support multiple devices undertaking data-intensive tasks like simultaneous HD streaming. In addition, the COVR-C1203 is offered in a home-friendly design with swappable color plates.

Both the Dual-Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System (COVR-C1203) and the Tri-Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System (COVR-2202) work as a family and offer the following features for delivering a scalable, seamless mesh wireless network:

      CES 2013 Broadcasts, Photos and the Blog
      By cskenney
      If you are like me you have a shortcut on your PC, phone or tablet to jump directly to the Home Server Show forums. I do this so often I forget to jump over to the HSS blog to see what new content has been posted.
       
      So you don't miss out on any of the action from CES make sure you are also visiting the Home Server Show Blog to check out the stories Dave is writing from CES. There is a lot of new content as Dave tries to share information on the blog from CES 2013 (in between his live broadcasts).
       
      In addition to all the great video coming Live from CES2013 be sure to check out the YouTube archive for any of the content you might have missed.
       
      Dave is also using his Nokia Lumia 920 to document his travels throughout Las Vegas as CES 2013 and uploading each shot to Skydrive. Check out the gallery found at the bottom of the Live page or connect to it HERE.
       
      If you have some feedback for Dave (or Jim) or anyone else who has been helping with the coverage then feel free to leave your comments here!

      CES 2013 Roll Call. Are you going?
      By Dave
      Hey Guys,
       
      I'm working on my CES plans with Jim and wanted to see how many of you were planning on attending CES in 2013. It would be really cool to have a meetup like we did last year. We had our impromptu meetup at the TWiT tables and then were off to interview! It was a great time.
       
      If you are going I need to know quick so I can set aside some time to do it. Everything is on a schedule! Also, if you wanted to help out I also need to know so I can work out the gear and schedule.
       
      Dave
