I had to replace my Linksys router of many years old. I first bought a NETGEAR Smart WiFi Router with Dual Band Gigabit for Amazon Echo/Alexa - AC1750. But, I could not get the unit installed. Instructions did not work and were a bit cryptic. No help from the internet. So, I returned the unit to Amazon within 30 days and got a full refund and no shipping charge to return. Great customer service. Then I bought this D-Link unit and installed it without any difficulty. Has been working well for a year now. Easily reaches to all parts of our large house without interference or dissipation. Great router!
This router has been broadcasting 200Mbps Wifi to phones, tablets, laptops, and smart TVs for 6 months without an issue. Whole family on at once, doing online gaming, lots of 1080p streaming video (and some 4K), downloading and uploading large (hundreds of Megs to a few Gigs) files, and everyone is happy. Good range, covers the whole house well with no spotty or slow areas. No complaints. Makes me wonder why someone would ever buy a more expensive model.
Great little router on the 2.4 ghz band. 5 ghz not so much. I can only use the upper band on things that are in the same room as the router, like my TV, Alexa, etc. It doesn't work at the back of my house (it's only 1044 sq ft). The 2.4 ghz band works great. It has better range than my old cisco router. Overall I'm pleased with this purchase. I would also note that I bought two of these. I hooked the other up at my brother's house in hopes it would extend his network to his unattached garage. The 2.4 ghz signal could be seen but not reliably. The 5 ghz band couldn't be seen at all in the garage.
I just bought this to replace my router I had purchased 3 years ago. This thing made a HUGE difference in the reliability of our wi-fi connections throughout our home. We have 4 computers (one is used for gaming), satellite tv service, a tablet, a printer, and 4 cell phones using the wi-fi at any given time. I also get a group of teenagers several times a week with their tablets and cell phones. With our old router, we would constantly get dropped off the internet connections, or it would lag. I used to have to restart my direcTV receiver every day because the connection had been lost.
Haven't had one problem since we installed this new router. Very pleased!
I was looking for a reasonable well performing wifi router to take to our vacation condo and looked up online reviews. This one was recommended by PCMag's July 2017 reviews as a great compromise for price and performance ... my personal experience ... at under $65 delivered this is a fantastic little router. Performance is amazing and set up was super easy. It's really all you need and is as speedy as those $200+ fancy routers where it mostly looks as if you pay for the outlandish design more than actual performance.

I have dsl, and the slowest, most horrible WiFi in the USA. I live in a bad location to receive internet, basically a poor pocket of signal. After my second gateway bit the dust in eight months I was ready to try another brand, I read the reviews and purchased this and a dsl modem. First off, because it is dlink my cable company was not able to help me with installation. I’m also in my 60’s. This was the most incredible installation help division ever. I can’t say enough for their patience and expertise. End result I installed it all myself with a ton of help from them, and now my WiFi, while still slow does not drop, and I get much better signal to all parts of the house. I highly recommend them, their help was incredible. I will buy them again!!!!
I had my old Belkin router for 6+ years and it would lose connection to Time Warner at least twice a month. This would lead to hours on the phone with tech support just to get them to restart the connection. The cable company suggested it wasn't them, it was my router. I didn't believe them, but I had no other options. I did some research and for the price this router is amazing!! I no longer lose my internet connection and don't have to keep calling Time Warner.
Purchased in November 2016, and still have no issues.
I purchased the AC1900 because my old access point was having trouble maintaining a connection and needed to be rebooted often. Also, I was looking for a little more range.
The AC1900 is great. The range is amazing, I can now get coverage all through the house. I have two access points set up and I don't really even need the second one anymore. Set up was easy, almost too easy. There is a set up wizard which will guide you if you're not sure what you're doing. I wanted to set this up manually so I skipped the wizard. All of the functions I needed were there, but some of the more advanced settings were buried deep and it took me a while digging through the settings options to find everything I needed.
Not everyone is going to need to change some of the advanced settings, so for most people the set up menu will be simple. For me, it took longer since I had to dig around. But, I'm satisfied because all of the needed settings were there and adjustable. Five stars. Let's hope this one lasts for a while.
I recently purchased "TP-Link Wireless Dual Band PCI Express Adapter (TL-WDN4800)", and Avent baby monitor takes 2.4ghz for its needs which interrupted and eats up my current comcast modem/router signal badly. The worst if I place the baby monitor right next the pc, I get disconnected when downloading files or taking forever to connect to the web.
I have searched for some information that how to fix this right, I just needed some 5 Ghz signal for my wifi pc. my TP-Link is dual band, so I just needed dual band router which is D-Link AC1900 just works great for all. There are higher performance router available, but this works perfect and it's only $100.
Dual band rather high bandwidth. I am extremely satisfied. There is a 5GHZ and a 2.4GHZ band and the 5 is amazing for seperating gaming stations from everything else, so I don't eat up a ton of bandwidth and the speed of most after some adjusting is amazing.
Separate software to adjust the actual w\Wifi was so easy to use and actually looked mily nice.
