One of the most exciting additions to the world of wireless routers is the EXO AC2600 from D-Link. Wireless routers are one of the most useful additions to have in the house, even if you already have a cable modem that broadcasts a wireless signal because it ensures that your wireless connectivity...

Plugged-in to our VDSL Spark Modem and turned wifi off on the modem. Powered on the router, set a wifi password and connected all the families devices by either wifi or cable. What a difference in speed. Wow! Thanks D-Link what a difference.

I wrote a review on this early tonight but left out key problems with this device. Problems with the device: I'm running a Trendnet tew-810dr with a TPLINK ac1200 adapter. I have a 20Mbps ISP connect.

The EXO AC2600 is a very sensible router. The design is compact and scrupulously sober, and the technical specification carefully ticks all of the important boxes, without wasting too much effort and expense on niche features.

Practical design; Good wired connectivity

Limited range; Not the fastest on the market

It has been a little bit since we last tested a DLink solution and it was good to see what they have been up to. With that said, its quite apparent with the 882 that build quality wasn't the number one goal. The enclosure of the router feels hollow and plastics are very cheap.

The D-Link DIR-882 is an interesting combination of solid wireless technology and useful extra features including DNLA and FTP. The modest extra cost of this over an AC1900 design makes it an interesting proposition for those that use their Wi-Fi heavily or exclusively.
