    • This router exceeded my expectations and works very well with decent range in my three story house
    • I got a refund and bought me the netgear ac1750 6400v2 and have had faster connection speeds, equal range and saved me $30
    • It seems to work ok-ish, but range is worse than my old one
    • The D-Link DIR-842 Wi-Fi router was easy to set up and has fantastic range and through put
    • Range was very nice also.
    • Range is a little better than my old d link.

    • fairly good coverage+ Range is very good (compared to the 2008 unit it replaced)
    • Nice that it has 5Ghz band, but both bands again didn't have very good range.
    • I did read some other reviews, and I saw that some folks had stated that they have to turn their item on/off sometimes or that they do not have good range
    • In fact, my wireless extender has most of these features (sans a guest network) and costs $70.If you get it on sale for $100, it's a simple router with good range and no frills
    • The range is much better than my older D-link wifi router
    • Good speeds but very small range and frequent disconnects also if streaming nothing else can use the WiFi without being sluggish even though I have very fast internet
    • The only problem I have is the range.
    • Good wifi range, I love my new router.
    • It's my understanding that the 5Ghz is suppose to have greater range, but in my environment, that is not true
    • Range is 50% stronger than the AC1900- sufficient for up to 6 walls and 100 feet away.
    • However, the reality is that both the Archer and D-Link have excellent range (nearly double my 7 year-old Cisco router).In summary, D-Link makes solid, reliable products and they support them for years.

    • Range, throughput, and performance are all respectable.
