Great router
I have paired this with my trusty billion router as that unit only has 2.4ghz wifi and not much range. This one gives coverage to my entire house and most of the large garden. It's very stable, I have only rebooted it once since it was plugged in 6 months ago. The only downside is the lackluster app that doesn't expose all the router settings and is thus a bit pointless. The speed test never works either, it just locks up the app after a few seconds.
There are loads of things to tweak in the routers admin pages although I haven't really needed to change much for my use case.
I'm pretty happy with it so five stars it is.

Geared more towards novice users
I'm not a fan of the new user interface as it's hard to find the options I'm used to. My old D-Link router seems to have had more features than this one does. Things like seeing who is connected to the network and assigning static IP addresses definitely could use improvement. I also keep having issues with the WiFi signal randomly dropping. There seems to be less issues after turning off the Smart Connect option, but it hasn't completely cleared it up.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!
Absolute rubbish!!!! During lockdown we needed high quality reliable internet across the house, we bought this after reading online reviews. We tried this in several different locations in the hosue, with the antenna in a million different positions and nothing made it work. If you moved an inch the wifi dropped off, it couldn't recover video calls if the connection did drop meaning we had to switch to 4G, our smart plugs kept dropping off, the TV less than 3m away kept buffering, our chromecast was the same if we could get it to connect, the Firestick upstairs was constantly streaming low quality, the connection one floor up was unstable, i could go on but I've given enough of my time to this router. Please save yourselves a lot of effort and don't buy this. When we finally gave up we decided to buy a Tp Link M5, it was like night and day. We bought 3 of the M5's and plugging just one in was x10 better than the D-link. We now have a smooth consistent strong signal all over the house, no drop outs and all smart devices working as they should.

D-Link EXO AC2600 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Router – (DIR-882-US)
This router is a good deal when looking at features to cost. It will handle multiple devices on the 2.4 ghz band with ease, and provides a fairly smooth streaming for Amazon Instant Video, Hulu, Netflix, etc. However, the 5ghz band is at best extremely poor. Usually 5ghz is where you want to connect to for game streaming, and with this router you will have constant and consistent stream drops. It doesn't matter what channel you use or the bandwidth, it just drops..all the time. This makes for a fairly frustrating experience while gaming. Additionally (as others have mentioned) this router did completely rest itself, all on it's own. I suggest once you set it up, make a copy of your settings and save the resulting config.bin to disk. You will need it to restore your settings when the device decides it needs to factory reset itself.

Very good
This is my 1st proper router and I'm very pleased, the routers ISPs provide are just cheap rubbish. I got a big speed boost straight away compared to the Vodafone router on the wired connection and the WIFI is also a lot better. There's a lot more features and everything just works easier and better.

Works great and fast if you do not get a defective unit.
This system works great if you get units that all work. Two of our units worked but not the third one. Had to return the entire system. Ordered a second system, same problem. One defective unit. And it was the base, so none of them worked. Returned units and purchased a linksys system.

Signal not strong enough
I bought it thinking of replacing the basic router the internet provider usually gives you because even being as close as around 10 meters away from TV the signal was awful.
To my surprise I couldn't replace the router, but I needed to add it to the existing one because the DIR‑2660 does not have ADSL port. This is probably my bad for not reading specs correctly.
However, what makes the DIR‑2660 not worth it is that, not only the signal of the wifi is pretty much the same as the other basic router being 10 meters away, but also that, when I moved both around 7 meters away from TV, the signal from the basic router was much better received not only by the TV, but also by the sound bar and other devices.
After 2 months of using it with no results, now I've got a £100 item in the storage room in it's box.

Slower than Comcast gateway. Do not buy.
Update after 1 yr: really just not a great product. Wifi barely makes it through walls where others have, including the prior Comcast issued router. The router requires a reboot somewhat often and has a hard time connecting to devices regularly, for some reason (we made no changes to settings). Something has come loose and rattles inside despite it never really moving and this doesn't provide the sense of a quality product here. Overall, can't recommend.
I bought this and a modem to replaces my Comcast gateway and save the $13/mo. That said, the Gateway seemed to provide faster wifi around my house than this AC2600 router is able to do. It does seem to have more range than the Comcast Gateway but, not by all that much.
Also, now it deletes my internet account every time I reboot it which means its one step away from either being fixed or its $140 in the trash.

Buy something else
Initially good impressions but these soon changed when random devices constantly lost wireless connectivity, and the only way to restore was to reset the router. This got worse over time and became intolerable . Amazon support were very helpful and sent a replacement within 2 days but this soon displayed the same problems. So I have opted for a refund and will try another make.

Worst router I’ve ever owned
Got this from the Amazon Treasure Truck. My reliable Nighthawk router was starting to show signs of age, and this seemed like an easy replacement option. I live in a small, free standing house, with two devices connected at a time, max. So I figured this would meet my minimal needs.
Started having trouble immediately, when I noticed it would take my devices at least a full minute to find/connect to the network. Then it started being impossible to find at all, until I restarted the router (this was a month into owning it). This happened more and more often, sometimes requiring two or three restarts before the network showed up. Finally, three months after purchasing it, it stopped working altogether. It was powered on, all lights showing it was connected to internet and broadcasting both bands, but no amount of modem/router power cycles could make it actually produce a wi-fi signal. Continued troubleshooting for a couple of days before giving up.
Waste of my time and money. Do yourself a favor and avoid this router.

Don't read the 5* reviews and risk buying it like I did!
I've made do with a somewhat poor Zyxel router for a few years and it finally packed up so bought this one as the reviews on the web looked good, excellent range, speed, easily setup, and with Mesh....well it couldn't have been further from the truth!
I've setup literally dozens and dozens of routers over the years for various people, but this is the first one i've ever had problems with and the first D-Link i've ever encountered, and it will be the last!
Firstly the setup was horrendous, the app refused to see the router time and time again, when it finally did see it it wouldn't accept the "blank" password that D-Link web and supplied documents say it is, so after a factory reset ( as the app suggests, it still wouldn't work so after 2 hrs I resorted to plugging it in directly to my pc and using the web interface instead, then despite setting it up several times it would NOT keep the settings and kept resorting to defaults! Yet another factory reset was performed, this time it would only accept one change at a time before you had to perform a FULL reboot otherwise it would reset itself, after 5+ hrs of this it was finally setup, and what a waste of time it was because the range is absolutely abyssal! No matter what room I tried it would only work through a single light block wall, not even brick! Then standing outside my 2m x 3,5m huge window with the router on the table just 7 metres away it could barely manage "Poor" signal strength, compared to my old one which showed Excellent! In the end I gave up and its been returned, by far the worst Router I have EVER had the misfortune to come across.

Lost at every important point
I liked how easy it was to install but unfortunately I was expecting much better performance from it...one: itll constantly disconnect your device and when you try reconnecting it’ll say your password is incorrect after you were just using it , two: it states it’s capable of up to 2600mbs total between both bandwidths and you definitely don’t get nowhere near that yes if you have multiple devices connected you’re expected to see slower speeds but even with just one device I was just seeing max of 620mbs which is pretty much what you see from the cheap modems the internet providers usually install, and three: the range is terrible you go 20 ft from it with no walls in between and the bars will drop making it even slower than it already was...sadly way overpriced for what you get

Face hugger router to manage your LAN professionally
Need to control the family Wi-Fi a bit better? Then try this...
If like me you were using a Sky modem with add on boxes as WiFi extenders, that is good for a while, but soon the stranglehold of bandwidth and hardwire inputs are needed.
This us the D-Link DIR-3060, this has so many features that even the features have features! Simple connect your network cable from your Sky modem to this router, and transfer all connections to the new D-Link Wi-Fi and disable Sky (except for TV, that runs better and is a nightmare to reconfigure, but possible with a lot of faff.
The bonus is you can set it all up via the D-Link app, add remove devices easily, create a guest Wi-Fi account, create kids profiles so you can control what they see and when, pause their connection when they play up and even add security to devices with McAfee. There are moments on installation that are frustrating, but that's networking for you. But fortunately there are enough online videos sorting this.
I won't lie, this is a big unit, it measures 22.2 x 20.1 x 5.9cm and weighs 580g.you get power lead and network cable provided. The unit becomes bigger with aerials poking out everywhere like an alien spider.
You can connect this to Alexa, but there are a few teething issues. Also I would set up the whole process with iOS as it seems to run smoother. Ensure you validate your email as soon as possible too.
Overall I am pretty pleased with this router, it is just a shame I have to invest when my Internet provider should do it for me.

Very easy set up and excellent range.
I upgraded from an older Netgear router and the difference is absolutely stunning. My house is roughly 2800 sq. ft and this routers wi-fi easily covers the entire house with no loss. I even tested my entire property (roughly 9000 sq ft) and there is minimal loss at the edges of the property. This allows for me to use Skype with the grandparents while playing outside with my daughter; VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
We have 3 adults and 1 child living here. Multiple xboxes, cell phones, smart TVs and computers. ZERO ISSUES.
Beyond satisfied with this router. It checks all the boxes: easy set up, fantastic range, no issues with multiple devices, and looks good!

Good router for reasonable price
Good router, has plenty of settings for a normal (or even advanced) user. I do not use McAfee, think it is pure marketing with no added value, because my current OS and provider keep me more than safe.
The only challenge was proper antenna positioning, had to surf the internet quite a bit. Ended up with rear antennas headed straight vertical, front ones slightly inclined with 105 degrees between them, as on official pictures. Always check wifi signal strength, because every home is different: I used android apps - IOS does not allow you to see wifi tech details for some reason.

Worst router ever...
Possibly the worst "upgrade" I've done in my life. Bought this thinking I needed an upgrade for an old MSI router that didn't have a great range, but I'm regretting it every minute. While the D-link do offer a better 2.4Ghz range, the 5.0 channel won't reach a Roku stick 9 feet away, I found myself having to restart the router at least once a day as it suddenly stops working. I've the latest firmware installed (from 2016) and haven't found a solution. Would never buy another D-link product in my life.

A good router but couldn't handle all my devices
I have a smart home with multiple Echo devices and loads of smart plugs and lighting around the home so wanted a more responsive router than my ISP box.
This router has loads of features, is very easy to set up, the box is responsive and on the whole it was great ... however ... my TP-Link Kasa Smart plugs constantly lost network connection, I have 2 in totally different parts of the house, they work perfectly and consistently with my ISP router, however the minute I wired up the D-Link router I had problems, they kept going offline and I had to keep turning them off then on again. D-Link suggested I disable some of the smart features of the router, but if I did that I might as well save money and get a cheaper router. In the end I had to return it and my Kasa plugs went back to working perfectly on my ISP router. I do not know why this was a problem or why only those 2 plugs were affected, every other light and plug, mainly generic Smartlife kit, all worked fine.

Worked great for few weeks, then died
For the first few weeks, we were amazed at the difference this unit made over our old airport extreme. We finally saw the signal speed we were paying for. But almost 4 weeks in and my phone, computer and apple tv could no longer log on. Everyone else in the house saw dramatic decreases in speed. Did numerous resets and the same issue. When I did a hard reset, it rebooted but never sent a 5g or 2.4 signal again and became useless. The increasing instability and flaws make this router not worth buying.

I would go with 3.5 starts if I could
Noticed a big difference in speed and increased signal stability and reception over my LAN.
One star off for the fact it doesn't have the following options:
- Remote router management
- Lack of SMB v2 or v3 (SMB v1 got deprecated by Windows due to security concerns)
This is a shame considering the router has 2x USB ports, but the other options you can switch on are Media Streaming Device and an FTP Server, but these are nowhere as practical as being able to map a network drive over SMB and use it natively across multiple computers on the network. I was hoping for this functionality, but now I got to use a dedicated Windows 10 mini-PC as an SMB server instead.

Great when it runs. Wont run consistently
I've had this router setup and working for a little over 2 months. Its been a process getting there. I was hoping to have something that would be an easy setup or at least dependable. It's definitely proven me wrong in both regards.
For instance today it stopped providing internet out of all 4 wired ports, and the wifi was no longer working. I could connect if I plugged directly into my modem so it had to be the router. Rebooting it, no good. Rebooting it and rebooting my modem, no luck. Factory resetting it, no luck. I spent over an hour getting it back up and running. Had to reset it multiple times just to get it to finally get back to a point where it would connect. Honestly I'd be willing to give it a pass if this were one time occurrence. It's not. I've had to completely reset the router 3 - 4 times now after having it for a little over 2 months. Each time I have to set the whole system back up again.
The 2nd time I was having issues with it I contacted d-link chat support and asked about it. I couldn't access the settings from my desktop that was connected directly to the router but could through my laptop on the wifi. The support didn't see any issue with this after troubleshooting with me for 45 minutes. Why would you want to access the router settings from your desktop if you can get to them from your laptop? Ultimately they recommended I call in which was just as unhelpful as their online chat. Again had to completely reset the router for it to begin working again.
So all in all if you want a router you can depend to run for only a week or two this is the router for you. Otherwise I'd recommend finding something else. I would not recommend this router to a friend and I hope you have better luck with it than I have.

Very good router.
I've had this a week. My Asus Dark Knight was playing up so took a chance on this:
-It has stopped ethernet drop outs on my laptop
-It has increased wifi speed on smartphone (80Mbs before, 150Mbs now)
-It has increased wifi coverage by about 10m
-It was easier to set up than I thought it would be. Scan code on app, go through guide and it's all done in 6 or 7 minutes.
I'd say that after initial set up - to go through the web interface on browser to change any settings as the android app seemed to rebot the router twice when I hadn't asked it to.
The only minus is that external harddrives attached to it via USB have a limit of 2 TB size, which means my 5TB HDD can't connect to it, but that's minorflaw.

Wi-Fi is extremely inconsistent!
The lan ports are fine, the issue with this product is the constant Wi-Fi inconsistencies. On 2.4 I’m getting 10-15 mbps and on 5g I’m getting anywhere from 12-235. This is beyond frustrating as I’ve tried only using 5g, but yet I still find myself waiting for a simple YouTube video to load due to me getting 15 mbps. Also, it’s not my isp because on lan, I never dip below 200 mbps. This issue is only with Wi-Fi. Also, I’ve already gotten a replacement and while it’s not as severe, it’s still happening. I don’t know what to do at his point. This should not be the case for a premium priced product like this. The only thing that’s stopping me from giving this product a 1 star is the customer support as they are always willing to help.

Really amazing, i couldnt ask for anything better
I ran a basic virgin media superhub 2 router, the default one they gave me when i signed up. It dropped the wifi all the time and would need to be reset constantly. And i am talking multiple times a day it would do this. Playing a playstation online was impossible, i thought that maybe i had too many connections to the router but that wasnt the cause nor the cause of the bad wifi and online gaming. Just FYI: I use an ethernet cable for the PS4, but that didnt matter. It just couldnt handle anything.
For the past couple weeks wifi got much worse, it would be impossible to browse the web without the signal dying and then going on randomly. Overall it was starting to really question why i was even paying virgin media anymore despite the fact i KNOW for i have good internet. I pay a lot of money for it. The router was a complete bust
My connections the past couple of weeks were really irritating me, worse than usual. So i decided to invest in a router and after spending days looking around i found this one. I have to say, its really impressed me. You are able to prioritise connections too. So of course i made my PS4 the highest priority and going online playing fighting games.... its just been too good.
WHY DIDNT I BUY A ROUTER AGES AGO! best £80 ive spent in a while. Set up was so easy too, connect the D-Link to the router you own. When you connect everything make sure you put the default router you have into modem mode so you can use this new router. All your devices will disconnect since you just put the router into modem mode. Then when you go to connect to wifi setting you will see your new router, connect... And enjoy
The only negative thing i can think of is the tiny power wire for the router. Its really short so i had to change around my set up a bit

Good wired speeds; wifi coverage horrific
I get excellent speeds with a wired connection but the wireless range, despite the many antennae, is horrific. In our wood-framed (not brick) home, the wireless range doesn't even make it 50ft. Even worse, the wireless network continually drops (even when sitting right next to it).
The USB HDD features are good but the transfer speeds to/from connected USB devices is slow as molasses (even on a wired connection).
I bought this based on brand reputation, reviews, and specs but it has been nothing but a disappointment. I do not recommend this router.

Did not live up to expectations, wish I returned it before it was too late.
Before I get into my other issues with this router, the WiFi signal is poor, so if that’s all you care about I would avoid it. I had better WiFi signal from my virgin hub.
Aside from that, the management interface is ridiculously lacking for such an expensive router. Even in advanced mode you can’t do much more than change some basic settings through “wizards”. I’ve had the router for a few months and I’m finally sick of it, so replacing it with an edgerouter and unifi AP. Wish I just went that way in the first place, rather than overpaying for a low grade generic home router in a fancy plastic shell.

Setting up with Ring Doorbell was a pain
I had no issue setting up the wizard and got all my devices working except the Ring doorbell. I tried for two day to get it working, and kept getting the message that it would not connect to my router. Finally, I enabled and disable a few thing and got it working. First , change the strength to Medium and not he default High (for the power out transmission on the 2.4 Ghz antenna). Next turn Smart Connect to Disable. You should see two separate bands. The 2.4 Ghz and the 5 Ghz with the same passwords. Save the configuration. Router will reboot and try to set-up you ring doorbell again. This worked for me , hope it will help someone else. The router is SOLID. No drop outs anymore.

needs rebooting every couple of days due to performance dropping.
Have owned a D-Link DIR-X1860 EXO for a couple of weeks now and have had lots of issues with it.
The first issue was that I didn't fully research the product and once I recieved it I found that it doesn't support AP mode and only supports router mode which wasn't suitable for my environment as I only wanted it for its AX wifi capabilitys. I worked round that by installing it with the DHCP server turned off and connecting a lan port tomy networks lan so it would just work as an AP.
This seemed fine and the performance of the device seemed great, AX devices (Oneplus 8 pro, Oculus quest 2) connected and reported a 1200Mbps 5ghz connection, streaming my desktop pc to the Oculus worked great..........until the next day where no device could connect to the 5Ghz and could only connect to the 2.4ghz. I rebooted the router and the 5Ghz worked great again.
Over the next week I found that some days the 5Ghz had disapeared, or my devices couldn't get an IP adddress, or they got a connection which reported 1200Mbps but the actual throughput was closer to 5Mbps at best.
I recently upgraded to the newest 1.3 firmware but the same issue occured within 2 days, so I am now returning it.
I assume that the device has some sort of memory leak which is causing the perfomance to degrade over time (it actually has a weekly scheduled reboot set as default) which may get fixed in later firmware but I'm not willing to wait for that given the devices limitations.
Going to go with a Redmi AX6 and see if that works better for a similar price.

This thing is a BEAST!
I wanted to have a fast connect in the house for my TV's and all the electronics in the house. Absolutely no lag, lost connection (Well once but it was the router in question), I even had a full connection on my phone 200' away in the woods at the creek on my property.
I kept my old connection on my surfboard for guest to connect and turned off the 2.5 network so our personal use will connect automatically to the 5 GH network. I would definitely recommend this to my friends without hesitation.

Good product
Very good product. Did have some teathing problems during set up and the D-Link defend software is a little problematic. But the important thing is it has improved my wifi signal though out the house massively.
D-Link defend problems.
The software is slow in accepting new devices onto the network. It would appear I have to accept it as a trusted device before it allows the device access to the network. Confusing I know. Basically I have to put network code into new device, try to connect, wait for the rejection, open up the software accept new device, reconnect the device and then it works ok.

Before you return because dlinkrouter.local Error
Got this router and on set up got an error trying to access the router. You will find all sorts of IP manual crap solutions that are so complicated that the average person wont understand. To solve the issue all you need to do is connect you PC directly to the router with a LAN cable for the first time. After you finish the initial set up you are free to use the wifi.
I am extremely happy with this router my speed went from 20 Mbps average to 80 Mbps average. Comcast MA.

Where is the Support for this Device
I set up the router, which works well.
However I cannot get Windows 10 to access the USB port although the settings are correct.
There does not appear to be any support apart from web pages which only go up to Windows 7.
The D-Link forums are restricted to users in the USA ! !
There is no UK support at D-Link UK, only a handful of FAQs.
I am sending it back to Amazon.

Upnp is a nightmare on this thing
Ever since the firmware has been updated to 1.11 my HDHomeRun on my network is no longer getting detected by Plex server. Not even with manual connection. With my other router everything works just fine. Also with other upnp devices they cant seem able to connect in direct mode but always resolve into relay connection. I dont know else did under the hood. Configuration page is very minimal, its like being made to a person dont know anything and expected that person to just set their wifi and thats it. Smart connect function is also stupid. want my money back if I could.

Decent wireless router
Was looking for a replacement wireless router for my virginmedia hub 3, found this and thought I’d give it a go.. so far it’s working a charm, no matter where I am in the house I get my full 200mbs via WiFi, the virgin hub only gave me 20mb in the furthest location.
For gaming it’s also great my ms is around 10ms where the virgin hub on witless sat around 40/50ms

Works perfectly! 2000 sq feet home no problems.
This fixed my problems! Originally had a 2in1 netgear modem/router combo in a 2000sq feet home. That was a mistake. It just didnt have enough range. If you have anything over 1500sq feet I really think you need a standalone modem and router. This one did the trick. Works perfectly. Getting full subscribed speeds even in the further room from the router.

Better sable Wi-fi
Massive improvement over Virgin home hub. Made a massive difference to signal strength and network traffic. App is easy to use for family controls and prioritised traffic for gaming. Down side is no USB, not mesh compatible and can be seen as ugly. Wish I’d brought one sooner. Internet never seems to drop now. Set it up with the same SSID so did t have to change settings on every device in my house

Does the job!
This router has made my life so much easier with the coverage of my whole house, all 2,100 square feet of it. Before I installed this router I did not have any wifi in the back bedrooms or in our exercise room which is in the back of the house. Now I have coverage in the whole house. I had a cable wifi modem/router put it did not have the coverage this router has. I have only had the router for a couple of weeks so we will see (based on other reviews). I will update this in a month. the router and the cable modem is located upstairs our loft which is in our great room (that what we call the room). It was very easy to set up, only took about 10 minutes (we have Apple Mac laptops). So far it has worked flalesly.

Good if using it out of the box with the default settings
This is a basic Wi-Fi router. It has a neat interface, but it's too limited. Static routes were only configurable over the Wan interface. This was a huge disappointment. I ended up keeping it as a separate Wi-Fi for all the household devices and general internet access. My home network I run off a Zyxel vmg8924 which although older is much more configurable.

Does not work with 2.4Hhz Security cameras other than that a pretty decent router for the money
After spending hours going through multiple forums , it turns out this router will not work with Yi 2.4ghz cameras desie the fact its dual band. Problem is when trying to switch it to all 2.4ghz on initial setup up to connect the cameras first before moving it to smart connect. 2.4ghz network does not show up on phone or laptops. Apart from that its a pretty good router. Have returned it and ordered an alternative router

Stay clear! The inbuilt McAfees does not work as expected
Do not buy this device, the built in McAfees does not work as expected, at first I was very impressed with the reach of the wifi and functionality.
However I soon started to see weirdness round websites not returning any content, after a lengthy process dealing with support and my own investigations it appears the router was corrupting DNS packets. This would be random.
As soon as McAfees was turned off the issue would go away, I was eventually given a new firmware upgrade to test but I was still seeing issues. I am now in the process of sending the device back to Amazon.

Great Product, but the compatible WIFI extenders have been discontinued
I bought this product about 6 months ago. Works well, good speeds, easy to set up and manage.
The problem came when I moved to a larger property and decided to take advantage of the Mesh Network capabilities it advertises. Here and on the website the compatible range extender for this product is the DAP-1620.
That product has now been discontinued in the UK, despite still being advertised as a key component of this Routers Mesh capabilities.
Very poor, and false advertising

Not as good as it looks
Bought this to replace a Virgin Superhub 3. The range on the 5ghz is far better but the speed is maybe 60%.
The 2ghz is much faster... But the range is very very limited in comparison to the Superhub.
A pointless purchase. Returned!
Max speed on internal networking over 5g/AC was 360mbps. The Virgin hub hits around 500 Mbps.
The 2ghz range is at least double the on the virgin hub but half the speed.
Update -
Turned out I had a faulty unit.
Awesome router. Good range and speed.

Spend a week trying to make t work.... bought two of them, both with this same issue...When you put your HUB 3,0 to modem mode router is not receiving internet signal from HUB so you can join broadcasted WIFI but there will be no internet on it.... Dlink support was not able to help my fix this issue even after we tried everything in their books like firmware update, calling to virgin itself and getting mix answers from their engineers, IP changing , forcing firmware by wlan and any other thing you can possibly think of

Bought this router for my office. We had really struggled with wifi coverage for a long time trying various routers with no luck, finally we've got coverage! Easy to set up, fast download /upload speeds. It has made such a difference to our productivity at work. We download up to 50gb of video per day so we're now able to do this quickly with no drop outs - highly recommend.

This is great for the price. Unfortunately I had to send mine back due to a fault. After jumping through hoops on a customer service platform from the 90s and sending pictures, files and the invoice, dlink determined it was faulty. But I paid £84 for a wifi6 router. I got what I paid for and it was good when it worked. Exchanged it for Asus ax86

A step up
My 8 year old router started dropping its' connection 2-3 times an hour. REALLY annoying. This model was was built to the latest standards and could support a ridiculous number of devices simultaneously. The reviews were solid and the signal seemed adequate for my living space. It's been a reliable performer and streaming media has been flawless. Can't rate tech support because install was very easy, and I'm definitely not a techie. Would highly recommend this router.
