Nice design, Good WiFi performance, AC1900, Execellent price, VPN server
The Parental Controls are too minimal, QoS is too basic, The new UI is a mixed bag
The D-Link DIR-880L is a great router, it offers good coverage and speed, it's easy to setup and manage, with good 802.11ac performance and affordable price. And if you can overlook or you're not bothered by the over-minimalistic UI, the D-LINK DIR-880L i...

Average to slightly below average 802.11ac wireless throughput. Did not sustain wireless throughput distance on the 2.4GHz band in tests. Confusing scheduling setup
