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.

I love this router.... great device. Works very well.

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.

A simple, fast and inexpensive router

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 EXO AC2600 router (DIR-882) has everything you'd expect and more for $150. (It's around £125 in the UK, and it's AU$350 on D-Link's Australian site .) It's a dual-band 802.11ac router with one 2.4GHz band and one 5GHz band, having theoretical speeds of 800Mbps and 1.7Gbps, respectively.

Affordable and fast with all the latest features; like MU-MIMO; beamforming; multiple USB ports and four spatial streams

Customizing your settings can take awhile; D-Link advertises support for 160MHz channels, but this router currently can't use them; Very low flash memory

If you don't buy your PC's ready made, chances are you've gone through the setup and configuration frustration phase. That time when you first get everything plugged in where it should be and things seem ready to go. However when you click the switch and hope for everything to work… nothing happens.

I upgraded from an older D-link product and was disappointed to find I could not get IPv6 to work with my Comcast Native IPv6 modem. My older D-link worked fine using IPv6 protocol. I returned the unit for a different brand as IPv6 internet connectivity is important to me.

I have a Fitbit scale that requires the old 802.11b wifi to work. I'm also having problem with my Moto Z2 rebooting about every 20 minutes. So I installed my old Netgear router with 802.11b and my scale works great. A surprise my Moto stopped rebooting after connecting it to the old router. Jerry
