d-link knows that size matters just check out the quad stream seven inch long antennas on the new dual band d-link di r88 to MU my mo AC 2600 router and for only $150 you get four Gigabit LAN ports two USB ports one of which is USB 3.0 advanced AC smart beam which is just another name for beamforming and in 880 megahertz dual-core processor but it only has sixteen megabytes of flash memory in a hundred twenty eight megabytes of RAM this could bottleneck your network in the future when you have lots of connected devices it's AC 2600 rating means theoretical speeds of 800 megabits per second on the 2.4 gigahertz band in 1733 megabits per second on its 5 gigahertz band in reality at 7 feet away on the 5 gigahertz band I saw throughput of 927 megabits per second that's pretty amazing for Wireless but it did drop off to 283 megabits per second and 50 feet away but that should still help you eliminate Wi-Fi dead zones especially if you have a larger home on 2.4 gigahertz I got around 164 megabits per second everywhere I tested even at 50 feet away so super long antennas really do the job the initial router setup was easy but saving a new setting took up to 30 seconds each time it felt like forever for most people though this won't be an issue because the default settings on the dir 82 will be just fine however customizing this router that'll take some extra time oh and all the d-link dir 8 a2 has great large home coverage for an affordable price it's minimal shortcomings shouldn't shy you away from trying it out
