For those of you that are in the market to upgrade or purchase your first router, it doesn't take much to become confused with all the marketing that surrounds each advance in technology. AC1900 is where you want to start when looking for a router, as man...

D-Link's external chassis team obviously have a thing for giant robotic spiders, while its marketing team just likes high prices. The DIR-879 fills both needs, looking suitably evil, while carrying a premium street price for its AC1900Mbit/sec capability...

D-Link usually sends us the most cutting-edge, high-end routers it's got. They're usually very expensive, look like an alien drone from Independence Day, and have had a few issues MU-MIMO support of late. The DIR-879 is an entirely different beast; it's t...
