Very happy, definitely recommend 👍🏻
Really happy with this router. Brought this as heard it’s great for parent control and pausing internet (which is great when u want things done around the house). For example I’ve got the boys phone, tab and Xbox under he’s profile and when it’s bedtime I have a schedule that turns internet off for all them devices.
Unlike other routers ive had this one auto selects best Wi-Fi band for that device. Which means u only have to connect to one single Wi-Fi name not 2.4 or 5gig.
We have at least 5 phones and over 20 other devices connect inc echos and motion sensors. We have kids watching Netflix over the WiFi on their TVs and the router seems to cope well and doesn’t drop out.
For the price you really can’t argue and router it’s self looks pretty cool and well built.
Only down side I’ve had is getting it to work with Alexa as I’m unable to login to the skill and keeps saying try again. Maybe after an update this will be sorted and I can just ask Alexa to pause kids internet.

Some Good, Some Bad, A Lot Ugly
The Good:
Setting up the router is relatively quick and easy.
Speeds on my Xbox and TV (streaming) was excellent on the 5G band.
The Bad:
Any changes made to network settings require a router reboot. Extremely time consuming. If you like to modify and toggle advanced settings on your router this will annoy the hell out of you.
I typically have 8-12 devices connected at any given time. The phone app can take up to 10min to update showing devices recently connected to the network.
2.4GHz band has really poor range. I have a small house and it barely makes it 20’
The Ugly:
Constantly kicks my phone off the network and then tells me my correct password is wrong. Only fix is rebooting the router. If I leave the network (leave the house) and come back it doesn’t accept my device/password too... this is a deal breaker and I had to return this.

Great Router, does what it needs to do.
Was an upgrade from SuperHub 2 which wasn't giving the best wifi speeds even on 5G, after the upgrade using 5G my speeds are always good! Also it is reduced from £120 to £50 right now so a bargain! Pages load faster too!
To Install with Virgin Media SuperHub, you plug in an ethernet cable from the SuperHub to the D-LINK Router's WAN port then put the superhub into modem mode and then boot up the router, go to 192.168.0.1 and then configure the router, remember to choose DHCP as thats the only one that works with VM.
Edit: Some months on the router is still holding up, wifi speeds are great and speed is always great as usual from Virgin Media, i usually reboot the modem and router once every week or two to just reset everything to clear the memory and keep it working at top performance.
Verdict: Recommended.

Don’t expect gigabit wireless speeds
I’m lucky to live in a neighborhood with optical cable, and currently have a 1 gig symmetrical connection on the wired portion of my home network (actually about 940 Mb both down and up). I naively thought buying this router with its advertised 800/1700 dual channels would allow gigabit wireless speeds as well. Nope. The best I can get is 500, and according to my son NOBODY is getting 1 gig wireless to their devices yet. I was also frustrated because the fast speeds only came occasionally, Thanks to DLink’s excellent support I solved that problem; they helped me create a separate network for each channel, so now I have phones and laptops getting hooked up to the 5ghz channel and all of the other non-data intensive devices on the slower one. I’m hoping the advertised speeds WILL actually give me the ability to have several devices getting 500 Mb speeds simultaneously, otherwise it was a pointless purchase (since my old router could give me 500 Mb speeds in ideal conditions). Coverage is average, tests show speeds drop to 150-200 in the corners of my 1400 sq foot upper level, even slower in the basement rooms. I knocked of a star because of this (I know I’m spoiled, most people would be thrilled with “slow” speeds of 200Mb.)
Support was excellent, quick pick up times. I ended up making two separate calls, the results were excellent both times.

Not recommended unless you have great patience & enjoy fiddling about with techie things.
I have experience of setting up networking devices since the 1990s but this has defeated me. After many attempts to configure this & failing, I have had to return it. Initial review below still appropriate.
Setting up this device is not simple and technical information is difficult to find, if it can be found at all. Eventually, after a number of failures & false starts, I managed to get this set up & installed in my home office and to get the devices, PCs, printer, tablet & iPhone connected. All seems to be working ok, within the confines of the office but I have encountered a few issues:
1. The wireless security seems to be the insecure TKIP rather than the more secure AES. There does not seem to be an option to use AES. The only way that I know this is a problem is that my iPhone & iPad report the wireless connection as ‘weak’ because it is TKIP. Part of the reason I replaced the previous router was to get better wireless security.
2. I cannot connect to the Admin menus on the router via its IP address, only via the D-Link App, which is quite a flakey bit of software.
3. I cannot access any devices (e.g. printer) connected to this router from other parts of my home network, although I could with the previous router / wireless access point. So, if I need to print something from my house, I have to go out to the office to do so. A possible reason for this is that the D-Link is acting as a DNS Server & allocating IP address in the 192.168.100.xxx range rather than passing through the IP addresses assigned by my main Modem / Router / DNS Server. Since I can’t get directly into the admin functions, I can’t do anything to correct this.
4. It took many attempts to use DLink Defender App. Clicking the Defender button in the main D-Link App tells you to use the Defender App but when you try to do so, it bounces you back to the main D-Link App. After multiple attempts, over a couple of days, it eventually fired up the Defender App. This generated even more confusion because the Home Screen tells me there are things that I should do to improve security but when I click the link to show what these are, it tells me that I am a ‘Rock Star’ & all up to date but whenI get back to the Home Screen, it still tells me that there are things to be done.
5. The paper documentation supplied with the device is incomprehensible, comprising mostly of a series of pictures & diagrams that must have meant something to the producers but which make no sense to ordinary human beings. The online manual, available from the D-Link website covers the complete range of DIR devices but all jumbled up together, which makes it difficult to find anything specific to your device. This also means that you cannot easily print the parts relevant to your model and it is too long to print the whole thing.
Overall, this is not an easy device to use nor to set up, despite the all the claims and the software Apps that are provided are flakey, obtuse, unreliable & difficult to use in any effective manner. The hardware may be good (or not) but it is definitely let down by the software supplied to set up & configure the device.
Not recommended unless you have great patience and are prepared to put up with shortcomings that do not become known until you have bought the d*** thing.

Huge disappointment from previous D-Link Router: EXO AC2600
If you want something that just works then you'll probably be okay with this router. Good coverage and what appears to be good speed. However, if you like to exercise any control over your router you can forget it with the EXO AC2600. The GUI options have been severely limited from what previous D-Link routers afforded. It's impossible to get IPV6 working with Spectrum, although the ASUS Blue Cave I tried had no issues. Want to see the network speed of a specific device? NOPE. Like the Smart Connect feature, but would like 5GHz capable devices to connect to the appropriate frequency. NOPE, not if smart connect decides otherwise. How about viewing bandwidth for individual devices? NOPE.

Range nothing special-Unreliable
At first I used this with all of the (1 x 2.4ghz, 2 x 5ghz) channels bonded into one SSID, which I thought was great, but it was very unrelliable, a random number of my Alexa's kept dropping connection and only reboots would get them to connect again.
I split into individual SSID's, but find that my 2.4ghz will just stop sometimes, the SSID's for the 5G (both of them) will stop or just disappear from the list of available SSID's, with a router reboot being the only way to resolve it.
Alexa's and smart bulbs just keep stopping working. I'll find 2 or 3 of them every day or so just don't work, having issues connecting to the internet, even one next to the router, yet others are working fine. Samsung TV also on the wifi has issues on both 2.4 and 5
Range of the wifi is nothing special compared to any other router, infact it's no better than a 7 year old reasonably basic Netgear that I replaced with this device.
I contacted support and have exchanged several emails but it's just been lots of excuses saying it's congestion, which is not true, this device is defective. They also asked me to update my firmware, sending me the same version that I already had (I had informed them of my version number 1.02). They also wanted me to do a full reset to install the firmware in a recovery mode, seemed like some sort of canned email as I didn't need to recover my firmware, plus there's a built in firmware update within the routers dashboard. I should have stuck with the Netgear which has always proved to be reliable for many years. I had Dlink in the past and had bad experiences, I doubt I'll be buying Dlink products again.
So I'm just continuing to be ran around for weeks now with this intermittant router which needs to be replaced.

5Ghz channel not usable for video streaming, even setting it up manually.
Good for the money but limited settings, and 5Ghz channel is a joke for smart TV streaming video, not able to use it on 5Ghz. Had to use 2Ghz, in order to get 4k videos straming in Youtube and Netfli , in 5Ghz not even get 720p and it lags like an EDGE Mobile data. I have changed the channels numbers and wifi analyzer, also changed band frequency on 5Ghz, but it doesn't improve anything..
If you are looking for a desert dual band router for video streaming don't go for this. Get something better.
Good for regular internet use good signal due to four antennas but that's all.

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.

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

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.
