What customers say about "Network"
D-Link DIR-890L Tri-Band Gigabit Cloud Router
  • The range and speed using gigabit internet from Comcast is excellent.
  • I had some WIFI dead zones in the house which I mitigated with range extenders. I installed this router and the dead zones disappeared.
  • The range of the D-Link is impressive.
  • Range is great, no dropped signals, everything is super smooth.
  • So far range is not that impressive. I expected more.
ASUS RT-AC88U AiMesh Dual-band Router
  • If you have a Mac and expect to print to a networked printer (LAN or WiFi) do not buy this router.
  • At first everything worked well then the days went by and the regular network started being slow and the 5g works well.
