The chances are that your router is at least three years old and it is struggling to handle the big increase in traffic due to the introduction of devices that can now be attached to a network.

This is a true top end consumer router that has no equal; it has duel core processors; massive range; is Tri Band and under the bonnett D Link have engineered the device from the ground up to deliver ultra fast through put which is ideal for gaming and 4K movie content

We have stuggled to find fault with this device other than you are stuck with the six antenas that make this device look real mean which of course it is

The D-Link AC3200 Ultra Wi-Fi DIR-890L/R Router is easily the most eye-catching router I've seen, but the sci-fi looks aren't the only thing about it worth your attention. In my testing, it was fast and easy to use, with an exceptionally stable Wi-Fi signal.

The D-Link AC3200 Ultra Wi-Fi DIR-890L/R has fast Wi-Fi and network storage speeds and an eye-catching design; and is very easy to use

It's very expensive and has limited configuration and features; Its antennas are not detachable, and its Wi-Fi range is comparatively short

With the AC3200 Ultra Wi-Fi Router DIR-890L/R ($309.99) D-Link raises the bar in more ways than one. This gargantuan tri-band router not only turned in record-breaking times on our throughput tests, but it also happens to be the coolest-looking router we've ever seen.

Blazing throughput speeds; Good range performance; Edgy design; User-friendly management interface

Expensive; Large footprint; So-so file transfer performance

D-Link takes the prize for most eye-catching router we've seen in awhile in any Wi-Fi class. But, like all other AC3200 routers to date, it will consistenly produce higher total wireless throughput only if you have enough dual-band devices and only if you manually distribute them among radios.

The D-Link DIR-890L is easily one of the most unique looking routers on the market, blending a Ferrari red colour scheme with a design that would make H. R. Giger proud. This is the kind of router you don't want to see in a backstreets alley way in the middle of the night.

Makes an excellent media server; Incredibly fast transfer speeds; Great wireless range

Overkill for most users; Smart Connect is hit and miss; Expensive

You can call it an inverted spider or crab, but one thing's for sure – the D-Link DIR890L probably won't win any awards for its looks.

I find myself frustrated over finding a product that will resolve my connectivity issues within my own house. I live in a multi-story home, and find that once again, I got my hopes up after watching ads for this thing. I am no better off than the Linksys I had.

I never thought that I'd see a Wi-Fi router that was both bigger and more ostentatious than the Netgear Nighthawk X6 , but that day has come. The D-Link AC3200 (DIR-890L) is a giant glossy red triangular prism with six huge antennas sticking out of it, and promises tri-band Wi-Fi performance of up...

Great 802.11ac transfer speeds; Fast storage interface; Great design

No removable antenna; Simplistic Web interface; Massively expensive

D-Link's DIR-890L/R is an amazing looking solution and while it didn't carry top tier performance in our testing, it is a reliable solution with excellent firmware to back it up.

The D-Link DIR-890L is a seriously eye-catching router, which is halfway between interstellar probe and space scarab. It's available in glossy red or a slightly more subdued black; not everyone is going to be fond of its heavily angular, pyramidal shape, but we found its design a refreshing break...
