The D-Link Amplifi Cloud Router 5700 (DIR-865L) marks the advent of the company's entry into 802.11ac technology. Although the latest 802.11 wireless networking standard has yet to be ratified (and the standard won't be until beginning of 2013) many of the major consumer router vendors have already...

Read reviews and there will always be some good some negative. Do my research though and felt confident in buying this router. It worked great until the other day which was about 6 months after I purchased.

If Guinness handed out world records for routers, D-Link Cloud Router 5700 DIR-865L would be the clear winner. This is the fastest router we've tested by far, capable of transferring a 6GB file in less than 90 seconds. But is speed enough of a reason to pick up this $189 device?

Incredibly fast; Two good mobile apps; Four gigabit Ethernet ports

Old-school setup; No widgets; USB does not support printers

D-Link really has gotten a feel for it this year. We've seen one new product after the other. Earlier we got the flagship model from their standard line of routers called the DIR-857, and now it's apparently time for the 802.11ac router, the DIR-865L.

I had to update  the firmware to get some of features to work properly. However, after the update , this router rocks! Excellent wireless coverage and fast connection. Most of HD streaming were lagging with my old router but this router is doing it with easy.

Easy Setup; Strong wireless signal; Fast connection

So far so good

Router works great no issues at all. Very fast data transfer with the gigabit ports. Reason I got this one is because it was a reasonably priced top of the line AC router so I won't have to upgrade it for a long time even when AC compatible devices become standard.

The router kept up with connection speed while 3 smartphones, 1 Tablet and 1 laptop are connected. Excellent performance, router never crashes!
