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.

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.

D-Link recently overhauled its line of routers and replaced them with 802.11ac models. We tested the new flagship product, the DIR-868L, which is capable of some very impressive performance indeed. And while the technology inside is new, D-Link is con...

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...

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...

Unlike some of its rivals, there isn't much in the way of ostentatious flair with D-Link's latest 802.11ac router. Built in the same tall, cylindrical chassis the company has employed for some time, there isn't much in the specifications to get the pulse...

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...

Don't judge D-Link's DIR-868L by its surprisingly low price tag. At the time of my review, it was street-priced a full $70 lower than the Asus RT-AC68U, even though it outperformed its competitor in several of my benchmark tests. Asus has a number of feat...
