I bought this to get better range and a piddly single-band netgear WNR2020 I have in the basement works better. The router never really worked as well as it should have for the price point. And has gotten to the point after a couple of years of requiring rebooting almost every day.

D-Link is seriously undertook development of the 802.11ac standard and is now in its catalog a dozen models of wireless equipment with its support. In this article we look at the router D-Link DIR-825 / AC, equipped with Gigabit Ethernet ports, two external antennas and port USB.

fast, good with ddwrt firmware. no dropouts connects fast I bought this product to wirelessly bridge 2 of these routers together. I like the speed ease of connectivity and the fact that it is easy to install ddwrt on.

Do not buy this router!

easy set-up

very unstable and intermittent wifi; Tech support very difficult to understand; English very bad

Overall a good value router with some nice features. As shipped, the firmware had an issue with an ADSL connection and it would not stay connected. This required installing an old router and getting a newer version of firmware that addressed the issue.

The router seems to want to go through it's reboot page every time you change ANY setting on the firmware side. This is annoying when you need to play around with settings to get something to work, and something that other firmware doesn't do. Not so much an issue, but it was annoying.

Does what the product advertises; has a lot of nice small features for the price; signal is awesome through a 3 story house

I had some trouble setting the router up on first install; When I swapped the internal IP of the router, it's DHCP died for about 10 minutes; It also stopped responding to any input from a static IP on the network despite resets.

I bought this item used and I am going to call my ISO to see why I am sometimes getting internet offline notices or it is taking a long time to download a site I click on since I have the highest broadband internet connection.

No problem installing. I read a lot about wireless routers prior to my purchase and found this one to be the best and easiest to install. My husband is always trading online and he needs a reliable router, also I have Netflix all over the house and my internet used to be interrupted almost every 20...

The inclusion of dual-band 5GHz and 2.4GHz means the D-Link DIR-825 Wi-Fi router has a long broadcast range and few interference problems.
