Review on πŸ“Ά D-Link DIR-817LW/D Wireless AC750 Dual Band Wi-Fi Router - High-Speed, Reliable Black Router for Enhanced Connectivity by Mike Pfettscher

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic complement to 5GHz WiFi - and it's a router too!

Considering this is my first day using this item I am not disappointed as I only bought it to 5- Adding GHz channels to my existing WiFi away from the crowded 2.4GHz band. It was about as easy as they are in terms of setup and I had it set up and hooked up in about 5 minutes. Pros: - Unbeatable price for a 5GHz add-on - Small and easy to place in a corner - Decent interface and configuration options, including guest networking. Cons: Range isn't impressive, but matches my 2.4GHz Technicolor. Cheap plastic assembly. Couldn't find any documents on this although the performance seems to be about the same high channel numbers so as a 2014 version it may have more powerful low frequency channels. - Supports many more features than most ISPs. router and does a lot more than the 5GHz add-on I needed. I can't comment on the 2.4GHz performance as I disabled it in favor of my main WiFi router. strong 5GHz signal for me I would be 100% satisfied. I couldn't find a cheaper AC750 router. I'll update if there are any issues, but until then this thing is a solid asset. UPDATE: I no longer use this router. In fact, it falls far short of the range, quality, and performance of many slightly more expensive routers. You get what you pay for, which in this case wasn't much. ;)

Pros
  • Best dual band wireless operation reduces interference and works with existing wireless devices
Cons
  • Modern
