It's a surprise that the D-Link DIR-890L/R router can't fly

2015-03-06
hi guys I'm Dongo and excuse me my eyes up here I gotta say that because I know looking at this thing right now that is the dealing AC 3200 ultra Wi-Fi dir - 8 9 0 l /r router now this one here is probably the most attention-seeking rarer on the market is so wrapped so radical so ufo-like that if you bring it the white house you make it arrested but it can't fly and there's no need to bring it anywhere something you want to use at home just hope this one port here - you're eating a source such as the modem and you'll cover your home with lots of Wi-Fi signals now locks because this is a tri-band router meaning it have one and 2.4 gigahertz band that top at 600 megabit per second and to foggy hood man each top at 1300 megabit per second for the total bandwidth of 3200 megabit per second at any given time now the reason for the extra 5 gig hood man is so that it can host more client on this band without them adversely affecting one another speed you can set up those three band with three separate Wi-Fi and network we can group them into a one single Wi-Fi network in the smart connect mode now in this case the router will decide which client connects to which band by itself the road is very easy to use by the way its web interface here is very simple very well organized and allows you to access different parts very easily there's a network map here that show connected clients and allows you to interact with them you can even connect the router here with the mydlink poro and manage your home network view your phone or tablet when you're away but this level is of you also mean that the rail has quite limited settings and feature for example it can only reserved and unreserve an IP address for a client when that plan is connected to the router and the QoS engine here is very simple you can only put one client as a top priority and there's no way to prioritize based on application or other categories overall this means savvy users like me we'll find this rather quite lucky a performance why the Delaney excelled my testing at close range with the sustained speed of some 600 megabit per second among the fastest I've ever seen unfortunately it rained wasn't the best ever seen just somewhere between 120 feet hundred fifty feet now note that the router six antenna here are not detachable and that means you cannot replace them with a high gain antennas for a better range to make up for that the wire has stellar Wi-Fi stability I used for a week continuously and it's never disconnected once now a part of the gigabit network port and USB 2.0 port the router also have a 1u speed 3.0 port to host an external hard drive and when it does it become a very viable network storage server in my testing it offered the sustained speed of more than 65 maker by per second for reading and more than 35 megabytes per second for writing via a gigabit network connection that means it can handle file sharing and media streaming really well unfortunately it does not support Time Machine backup you know stacking this router against all the AC 3200 routers I'm review is not the best not the worst it's about the average and that's partly because of its like a feature and short range but mostly because currently it is the most expensive at 310 dollars for more check out my full review as cnet.com basically if you decide to get it make sure you prepare for the attention that you will get or not get because of it also is unlikely you have the eye catching eyes that are mined and that's because I'm don't know and it has been the first look at this AC that is crazy rare thing for dealing what's the name of this thing again
