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.

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.

On a PC with this the D-link DWA-182 dual band USB adapter in a USB 3.0 port, we get 866 Mbps on 11ac, on the 5 gHz band our N10 tablet hits 300 Mbps, on the 2.4 gHz band our N7 tablet hits 78 Mbps. No issues during installation and setup, including the cloud services.

I bought this D-link router and so far it works great and meet my expectations. I set up this router on a home network that includes a desktop pc, 2 laptops, 2 smart phones, PS3 an IPad and Boxee device.

Don't know why people are having problems with this unit. Mine is in a basement corner location and have 6 wireless devices and 6 wired devices to this unit through out a 2 story house and the signal is constantly strong, better than I thought it would be.

Good

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

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

The D-Link DIR-865L is a dual band 802.11ac router with four Gigabit Ethernet ports and a USB port to which you can attach USB drives and printers. Its use of the new 802.11ac standard means it's designed for fast, efficient transfer of data, so it's ideal for those wanting to stream high-definition...

This was an easy setup and little to no issues after setup as people have noted online. The dual band is very quick, though little to none in the AC band yet, found the N wireless is faster than previous router. Yes I would recommend this router.
