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

The size makes it difficult to place in traditional areas

Looking at the results, we see that none of the 11 models score particularly badly in the 5 GHz throughput test while in the same test on 2,4 GHz band the fastest router's speed is twice as high as that of the slowest router. This also applies to the real...

Let us start with the price point as that's the last mentioned item before this section. While the D-Link DIR890L certainly isn't the cheapest router on the market, it is an amazing one priced more than fair for its capabilities.It's probably not the rout...
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...
Abstract: The DIR-890L isn't exactly subtle, with its huge dimensions, red metal finish and UFO-like styling, but there's a good reason it takes up so much space. It's a tri-band router, broadcasting two 5GHz networks simultaneously to double the available wireless...

The D-Link DIR-890L is a beast of a router, on many facets. It's big and looks dangerous because of its red design. Everyone has to see for themselves if they like that of course. When you don't think it looks good, you can place it somewhere out of sig...

Apple iPhone 6S - what you need to knowI've seen the D-Link DIR-890L before when I was checking out the recommended routers for my NVIDIA SHIELD tablet (still yet to review). The thing is, I still wasn't prepared for how big, red and visually impressive i...
