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.
NETGEAR (R8000-100UKS) Smart Wi-Fi Router
  • The antennas are easy to open up and it's straight forward plugging it in.
  • This is a superb router. Multiple fast wireless channels and six antennae to reach all corners of a very large house.
  • The unit itself is sleek and looks quite modern with easy to see indicator lights, it also comes with 6 fold out antennas to help maximise range. Good design and decent range!
  • The range is surprisingly much lower than I expected.
  • Unbelievably the BT hub provided a stronger signal than the nighthawk even though it’s got 6 antennas sticking out of it.

What customers say about "Security"
D-Link DIR-890L Tri-Band Gigabit Cloud Router
  • I added this 3200 to my current router to boost the wireless signal, and increase my security.
  • Great network speed with AC WiFi devices. Good security.
  • Good router. Great security options too.
  • Solved my internet security issues. Product performed as promised.
  • You cannot change the Admin ID (it is locked as Admin) - poor security.
NETGEAR (R8000-100UKS) Smart Wi-Fi Router
  • The VPN service is pretty wonderful, not too tricky to set up and gives a bit of piece of mind when using public hotspots out and about.
  • The VPN function is really useful and it is quite pricey but so far, so good.
  • Amazing router with with useful features, the VPN works great, and I would recommend this router highly.
  • A bunch of security features such as VPN support, being able to separate secure and guest network access, SPI & NAT firewall protection and preventing Denial-of-Service (DOS) attacks. Decent router!
  • Minus for me is the VPN capabillities. It only support up to 4-5 connections and the auto config file export does not work for me.
