Overkill for most users
Smart Connect is hit and miss
Expensive
It's very expensive and has limited configuration and features. Its antennas are not detachable

Abstract: KUDOS TO D-LINK Systems Inc. for upgrading all areas of its product line, culminating in the AC3200 Ultra Wi-Fi Router (model DIR-890L/R[CF1] ). The Fountain Valley, Calif.-based company's products used to be square, boring boxes, but the AC3200—red, trap...
We had some frustrations setting up the D-Link AC3200 Ultra WiFi router, but we were floored by its performance. Speeds are as fast as you'll ever need and range is excellent, even when multiple devices are attempting to suck up bandwidth. With top tier s...

Design is unique, speeds increased 354%, range is great even through walls, easy setup even your kid could do it, offers advanced granular control for more tech savvy users
Design may not be for everyone, price tag is a bit high

To summarize, for its basic purposes, meaning, as a router and WiFi access point, the D-Link 890L is more than capable to handle a home or small business normal “needs”. That is a nice way to say that the device is overkill for, at least, two reasons."...
No way to tell which 5 GHz radio clients are connected to, No WPS controls, No wireless bridge modes
D-Link takes the prize for most eye-catching router we've seen in awhile in any Wi-Fi class. But, like all other AC3200 routers to date, it will consistenly produce higher total wireless throughput only if you have enough dual-band devices and only if you...
