With support for the 802.11ac Wi-Fi protocol, the BR-6478AC V2 Dual-Band Wireless-AC1200 Gigabit Router from Edimax is capable of achieving wireless data transfer rates of up to 1200 Mbps. In addition to support for 802.11ac Wi-Fi, users can also take advantage of dual-band connectivity allowing more bandwidth intensive tasks such as streaming multimedia content, transferring large files, and more to be allocated to the less congested 5 GHz frequency. For devices requiring an Ethernet connection this Edimax router comes equipped with four Gigabit Ethernet ports as well as a single USB 2.0 port to attach USB compatible storage devices to the network.
Configuration and management of this Edimax router has been greatly simplified thanks to Smart iQ Setup and iQoS Bandwidth Management. You can set up the router without the need for a CD as Smart iQ Setup is completely web-based and is also accessible through a smartphone, iPad, tablet, or computer. Once configured, iQoS Bandwidth Management makes it easy to allocate bandwidth throughout the network to ensure tasks like streaming video have the necessary bandwidth to operate smoothly. The network administrator can even set up guest networks, restrict access to specific portions of the network, prevent access to websites, and more.

Have used the Edimax BR-6478ac V2 at multiple sites over past two years and very pleased with all. Best pricing from B&H

This router was purchased because it addressed and had the firmware update for the Krack virus issue. It was also very easy to setup and should meet our security issues.

Works fine, but anyone wanting to set up BR-6478AC V2 router in WISP mode when needing a password to connect to another router or access point needs to install earlier firmware version v1.11 or newer beta version V1.13a

I needed a WISP router and this router was suggested. I bought it and spent a lot of time trying to get it to connect. After researching on the internet I finally emailed the company. They replied within 24 hours that the current firmware was a known problem and to download either a beta version or old version. I did and I am quite satisfied with the support and the router. I would have given it 5 stars if I did not have to call support for help on a known but not published issue.

We use several of these in various sites to create an isolated, secure network in libraries & other public venues. They work fantastic for us for this application and I use these almost exclusively now for our non-profit.

Have three of these to use to build temporary networks. Work well as a router, AP, or extender with easy setup and good coverage

This was my first purchase of an EdiMax router. B&H shipped it promptly and it arrived on-time and in good condition. I bought this model, based on recommendations by our Technical Administration and other Tech Coordinators. It’s being used in a senior center environment as a private add-on to their in-house WiFi. It was easy to set up and had very versatile options. Coverage throughout the building is very strong and it’s been working great. Good choice if you want it right. WGB, Tech Coord.
