The editors liked
The D-Link DIR-880L Wireless AC1900 Dual-Band Gigabit Cloud Router has overall excellent data rates
Long range and stable Wi-Fi signals. The router is easy to use
And can be remotely monitored via D-Link's cloud feature
Clean interface that's easy to use
Good close-range 802.11ac speed
Good USB implementation
Strong signal
The editors didn't like
The new Web interface can be a surprise for those familiar with D-Link's previous routers
And the USB 3.0 port takes a long time to recognize external hard drives
Speed over longer distances not as good as expected

The D-Link DIR-880L Wireless AC1900 Dual Band Gigabit Cloud Router initially gave us cause for major concern. When we received the unit, we did what we normally do with all wireless-AC devices under review – we plugged it up and used it. The DIR-880L work...
Abstract: With the Wireless AC1900 Dual-Band Gigabit Cloud Router (DIR-880L), D-Link rolls out an affordable ($179.99), yet premium, 802.11ac router. More impressive is the launch of an entirely new, modern, useable management UI: That's right, the signature orange...
User-friendly setup and management. Revamped, well-designed UI. Very good performance in 802.11n and legacy wireless modes. Excellent USB drive-sharing and remote-access capabilities.
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
The Wireless AC1900 Dual Band Gigabit Cloud Router (DIR-880L) comes with D-Link's modern and mobile-optimized UI, is a good performer in 802.11n and legacy wireless modes, but it's just average in 802.11ac throughput....
Some controls are not where you expect them, Older design with smaller RAM and flash, No VPN setup example

The D-Link DIR-880L Wireless AC1900 Dual-Band Gigabit Cloud Router has overall excellent data rates, long range and stable Wi-Fi signals. The router is easy to use, and can be remotely monitored via D-Link's cloud feature
The new Web interface can be a surprise for those familiar with D-Link's previous routers, and the USB 3.0 port takes a long time to recognize external hard drives
Despite a few minor shortcomings, the DIR-880L is still one of the best 802.11ac routers on the market....
Very easy to manage via the cloud, The best choice for consumers buying into DLink's connectedhome portfolio, Can share up to two USB devices (printer, scanner, or hard drive) over the network
802.11ac performance not as fast as moreexpensive competitors, SharePort hobbles USB storage sharing, No iTunes server, no ftp server, limited advanced features
The DIR-880L isn't the best router on the market, but it's a good choice if you don't need the power and performance that more-expensive 802.11ac models have to offer....
