Over the years it has worked well enough. However, whenever I try to do anything more than basic network configurations (e.g. wol broadcast setup) it's interface is so limited it's hard to configure anything but a fairly bland setup.

Incredible router. Everybody says its not good or hard to set up but i can assure you it is very easy and Excelent. The lan speed is very high, 270-280 Mb out of 300 from Virgin, but this also depends on your pc configuration and all that, BUT the wireless is mindblowing.

My 15 years old linksys router was performing better compare to this product when it came to keeping up the wifi connection live. The signal quality through a 2 in-house walls and one bricked wall is also poorer with this product than the old linksys. Also, there is no MAC addresses white listing.

I disconnect often when there are a lot of devices connected to this router, but it's probably just me

Easy to install

Has difficultly with switching between 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz

The router speed is very good but the range is very bad . With apple products the iPhone and iPad it doesn't hold a connection , sometimes it disconnects even in the same room .

Awesome router. Handles many devices well. Great for streaming videos and gaming. Wireless range is very good. Long distance on 2.4ghz. I like the flexibility of the 3 radios. Most others have only two radios.

The D-Link DIR-890L/R is a capable router and one of the first to use the tri-band technology, but there are some good things and bad things to consider before purchasing it. First of all, regarding the design choice and the size, while I think it looks pretty cool with its glossy red top, some...

Good WiFi Performance; Interesting Design; Tri-Band Router with Smart Connect; Reasonable Storage Performance

The antennas are non-removable; The router is too large; Very expensive; Unfinished Web-Interface

D-Link is one of the first networking manufacturers to have released an AC3200 tri-band router (after Netgear revealed the Nighthawk X6), aiming to give the home users a taste of the latest technologies.

I bought it because my previous wireless router failed one day and I had only my cell phone to do research. It got rave reviews on several e-zine sites. While it did offer good performance when operable, every night it would drop all wireless connections.
