If your home or small office network is straining under 8K streams, VR sessions, cloud gaming, or a growing swarm of IoT devices, D-Link’s latest announcement will be welcome news. Unveiled in London on 22 January 2026, the company’s new Wi‑Fi 7 lineup brings multi-gigabit speeds, ultra‑low latency, and AI‑assisted management to everyday environments—without the complexity you might expect from cutting‑edge gear.
What’s New: Three Routers, Three Use Cases
D-Link has introduced three Wi‑Fi 7 models designed to cover the spectrum from whole‑home mesh to 5G‑powered small office setups:
- M95 BE9500 Wi‑Fi 7 Smart Mesh Router
- R95 BE9500 Wi‑Fi 7 Smart Router
- G572 5G NR BE7200 Wi‑Fi 7 Router (Coming Soon)
All three embrace the Wi‑Fi 7 standard: tri‑band operation across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz; wider 320MHz channels; and Multi‑Link Operation (MLO) for more stable, responsive connections. The headline benefits translate into smoother 8K streaming, snappier cloud workflows, and consistently low latency for gaming and real‑time collaboration.
The Mesh Flagship: M95 BE9500
Think whole‑home coverage without the dead zones. The M95 is a tri‑band Wi‑Fi 7 mesh router that pairs 320MHz bandwidth with MLO and MLO Mesh to keep devices connected to the best path at all times. It features WPA3 security and 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN ports to support multi‑gig internet and high‑performance wired devices.
Management is handled through the AQUILA PRO AI app, which applies AI‑based optimization for channel selection, traffic prioritization, and usage insights. Aesthetically, it’s designed to be seen: an aerodynamic form with four integrated antennas is inspired by an eagle in flight, delivering 360° coverage—good enough to earn the Red Dot Design Award 2025.
Ideal for: style‑conscious smart homes needing seamless mesh coverage for 8K streams, VR gaming, and dozens of IoT devices.
The Versatile Performer: R95 BE9500
The R95 brings the same core Wi‑Fi 7 capabilities—tri‑band, 320MHz channels, and MLO—but in a classic standalone router form factor. Four external adjustable antennas help push coverage to larger spaces or tricky layouts, while dual 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN ports keep bandwidth flowing to desktops, NAS devices, or switches.
Like the M95, the R95 plugs into D-Link’s AQUILA PRO AI app for automated tuning, network insights, and proactive optimization, all secured by WPA3. If you don’t need mesh today but want next‑gen speed and responsiveness, the R95 hits a sweet spot.
Ideal for: power users and small businesses that want top‑tier Wi‑Fi 7 performance and flexible antenna placement without going full mesh.
5G + Wi‑Fi 7, Untethered: G572 5G NR BE7200 (Coming Soon)
No fiber? No problem. The G572 combines 5G NR with Wi‑Fi 7 to deliver always‑on, high‑speed connectivity—just insert a SIM card and power it up. Optional external antennas enhance 5G reception for remote or signal‑challenged locations. For resilience, Ethernet WAN failover keeps you online if your primary link drops, and VPN support adds a layer of security for small office deployments.
Setup is streamlined via the D-Link FALCON app or a web interface, making it a strong candidate for remote workers, pop‑up sites, and small offices that need reliable, fast internet without trenching for cables.
Ideal for: homes and SMEs lacking fixed-line broadband or needing portable, high‑speed connectivity with business‑grade continuity.
Why Wi‑Fi 7 Matters Now
- Speed and capacity: 320MHz channels and smarter spectrum use mean multi‑gigabit throughput for dense device environments.
- Lower latency: Multi‑Link Operation reduces congestion and jitter, keeping gaming and real‑time apps responsive.
- Smarter management: D-Link’s AI‑driven apps—AQUILA PRO AI and FALCON—simplify setup, optimization, and ongoing monitoring.
- Security first: WPA3 across the lineup, with VPN support on the G572 for secure remote access.
A Note from D-Link
“D-Link’s new Wi‑Fi 7 lineup is a leap forward in wireless networking, delivering faster speeds, lower latency, and higher efficiency for homes and small businesses,” said CJ Chang, CEO of D-Link Corporation. The launch underscores the company’s vision—“One Connection Infinite Possibilities”—and its commitments to MIT quality, creative innovation, solution orientation, one‑stop service, and sustainable design.
Choosing the Right Model
- Pick the M95 if you want elegant, award‑winning mesh with 360° coverage and hands‑off optimization.
- Choose the R95 for a high‑performance standalone router with extended range via external antennas.
- Watch for the G572 if you need 5G‑powered Wi‑Fi 7, simple SIM‑based setup, and built‑in failover/VPN for small offices or connectivity‑challenged homes.
D-Link’s Wi‑Fi 7 push aligns with how we actually live and work today: multiple 4K/8K streams, latency‑sensitive gaming, hybrid work calls, and a growing fleet of smart devices. If your current router is buckling under that load, this lineup offers a timely and future‑ready upgrade path. To learn more about D-Link and its solutions, visit www.dlink.com.
