Review on D-Link WiFi Router, AC2600 MU-MIMO Dual Band Gigabit with USB Ports, 4K Streaming and Gaming, 4x4 Wireless Internet for Home (DIR-882-US) by Steve Chomos

fairly large block - make sure it fits - does the job

Works fine. My devices seem to be a bit faster, especially those that can use the upper band. I've had to reset it about 2 or 3 times a month, but I've still been using a DOCISS 2 cable modem with it. That could be a problem. It seems that the frequency of required resets is about the same as the replaced wireless network N. Also, don't pay for the fastest internet service. Didn't have time to update. The setup was just a bit confusing. I had trouble setting them up as an infrastructure printer, but I think it was due to old drivers on the computers, an inkjet printer in very bad shape (which is now dead), and the wrong "Wake on Print Job" setting on the printer. The other, HP Laser Jet, seems to work well with both Macs and PCs now. The signal strength seems to be about the same as my old N router as I don't get full bands (30 or so) in my home office. feet but view through 3 walls and a pantry). However, all equipment at this location is functioning satisfactorily. I placed a D-Link on a tall cabinet hoping to clear some blockages from other network equipment in the cabinet. The location of the WPS button is easily confused with the RESET button. You have to look closely at the tiny labels and I had to use a flashlight. They should have placed the WPS button on the front/top, or at least put it in large, contrasting lettering. The D line is quite large, check the dimensions including the height of the antenna with your intended location before purchasing. All in all, these are minor complaints and I'm happy with the D-Link for my 'N' to 'AC' upgrade. D-Link EXO AC2600 MU-MIMO WiFi Router - 4K Streaming and Gaming, with USB Ports (DIR-882)
