The editors liked
802.11ac support
2.4GHz and 5GHz support
Gigabit LAN ports
Good 5GHz 802.11n speeds
The easy-to-use D-Link DIR-868L offers fast data speeds
Solid Wi-Fi coverage
And cloud-enabled features with mobile apps
This is a very fast router that delivers excellent Wi Fi connectivity. The D Link technology and the round shape of the device is among the best we have reviewed for a long time.
The editors didn't like
Complex web interface
Slow shortrange 2.4GHz speeds
Single USB port
Limited 802.11ac availability
The router can't work as a media bridge or a standalone access point
And its mobile apps are limited both in features and functionality
There is very little to fault with this device other than there is a need for a check details process prior to updating the software configuration.

Are you looking for an 802.11ac router? Then you'll be able to choose from a plethora of routers, since pretty much all 802.11ac models that have been released since 2012, are still readily available. This does imply that there hasn't been a lot of chan...

Unconventional looks mask a low-cost, high-performance router that really does the business...
For me, the DIR-868l offers several improvements over my previous router. The wireless range and speed are generally better (although less than D-Link would have you believe), the design is much more fitting with my decor, and (for now) it seems a lot mor...
Overall, the best routers are the ASUS RT-AC68U, Apple AirPort Extreme, D-Link DIR-868L, and the Netgear R7000 Nighthawk, with Apple's offering being the fastest in almost every test. You cannot ignore this router when strictly focusing on performance, ...
The D-Link DIR-868L is currently one of the fastest routers you can buy. In basically every test it has good to excellent scores. We really have to try hard to find a downside to this router, and then it's only the USB 3.0 port that doesn't achieve USB ...

Abstract: Late last year D-Link released the DIR-865L, a pre-AC router that some reviewers from other publications savaged for combining poor 2.4GHz wi-fi performance and an uninspiring design. To prove that some companies do listen, D-Link has charged back with th...

802.11ac support, 2.4GHz and 5GHz support, Gigabit LAN ports, Good 5GHz 802.11n speeds
Complex web interface, Slow short, range 2.4GHz speeds, Single USB port, Limited 802.11ac availability
Finally we're at a point where wireless 802.11ac is becoming a potentially usable technology with both internal and USB-based laptop adaptors now available. While the D-Link doesn't jump out as the best in its class, it's certainly up at the leading edge...
