D-Link announced today at CES 2013 several new routers designed for gaming, business, and travel. The company's International CES lineup also includes a couple of new webcams for remote monitoring of homes and businesses.

One of the routers is the first 802.11ac-based router designed specifically for gamers, which D-Link calls Gaming Router - model DGL-5500. It offers Gigabit AC1300 wireless speeds and intelligent bandwidth allocation for the ultimate in gaming, media streaming and network control. The SharePoint Go II - DIR-508L, is designed for mobile use. It can provide wireless speeds of up to 300Mbps and has a built-in battery.

D-Link also announced two new members of its Cloud Router family, which offer remote management features via the web and MyDlink Lite apps for IOS and Android devices: the Wireless AC 1750 Dual Band Gigabit Cloud Router (DIR-868L) and the Wireless AC 1200 Dual Band Gigabit Cloud Router (DIR-860L).

The DGL-5500 is equipped with Qualcomm StreamBoost technology, and represents D-Link's most advanced gaming router to date, intelligently allocating bandwidth to deliver lag-free, uninterrupted gaming for a high-performance experience in today's dynamic online gaming environments.

It is a true dual-band router that offers up to 1300Mbps Wi-Fi data rates when used with an 802.11ac client. For existing Wi-Fi clients, it also offers up to 450Mbps on its 2.4Ghz frequency band and 5Ghz band, at the same time. The router will be available in late-Spring throughout D-Link's vast network of retail and e-tail outlets in the United States.

The DIR-508L provides a Wi-Fi hotspot, emergency battery and wireless media sharer, all rolled into one. It features one USB port which supports third-party 3G and 4G USB modems—to create a hotspot on the move. Its SD card reader allows it to act as a media hub from which you can share files, and its 4000 mAh battery allows it up to 8 hours of continuous operation. In a pinch, you can also use the USB port to charge devices from that same battery too.

The SharePort Go 2 will be available in April for $120.
