D-Link Cloud Router 5700 DIR-865L
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?
Pros:
- Incredibly fast
- Two good mobile apps
- Four gigabit Ethernet ports
Cons:
- Old-school setup
- No widgets
- USB does not support printers

D-Links cloud configuration is a work in progress.

Cons:
- Setting up the second unit as a bridge was not entirely simple
- and does not work exactly per the directions
