    D-Link AC1200 Wireless WiFi Router – Smart Dual Band – Gigabit – MU-MIMO – High Power Antennas for Wide Coverage – Easy Setup – Parental Controls (DIR-842)

    • Good signal, reliable
    • I needed a stronger WiFi signal
    • Very fast router and much better signal than my last router.
    • You have to adjust the antenna initially to make sure you get the best internet signal.
    • I bought this to replace a Linksys ea2700 N600 dual band that would not provide adequate signal strength throughout a two-story 2400 sqft home, with all upstairs bedrooms getting weak signal strength, and one room where wireless devices would get intermittently dropped from the network.
    • Not a corner of my house where signal is bad and most of my yard covered as well
    • Looks awesome and great signal in 3k sqft house.
    • A friend recommended I add, D-Link Systems AC1900 Ultra Wi-Fi USB 3.0 Adapter (DWA-192) (C1 version) to boost the signal at the rear of our home.
    • It actually provides a stronger signal on our patio than the Nighthawk did
    • Wanted to take advantage of the faster signal throughput
    • This replaced an 11 year old Netgear that broadcast a far stronger signal until failing.
    • The wireless signals are strong enough to work, once the connection is established, therefore, the WiFi devices should stay
    • * Better wireless signal discrimination* Better management of multiple wireless
    • End result I installed it all myself with a ton of help from them, and now my WiFi, while still slow does not drop, and I get much better signal to all parts of the house.
    • I was very impressed with the signal strength and ease of installation.
    • walls and 30 feet away still delivers a good signal, but 4 walls and 40 feet away is pretty much useless
    • MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Router (DIR-878) is a good router for multiple devices while keeping a strong signal
    • When I split the signals and connect to the AC signal, I can get 70
    • However, d-link sometimes get lost signal with no reason, and it is bad to use internet nowadays
    • I bought this to replace a Linksys ea2700 N600 dual band that would not provide adequate signal strength throughout a two-story 2400 sqft home, with all upstairs bedrooms getting weak signal strength, and one room where wireless devices would get intermittently dropped from the network.
    • This router got strong independent ratings, but it had a very weak signal and couldn't reach parts of my house compared to my previous 4 year old router.
    • When I split the signal (giving two SSID
    • they would all show strong signals but the quality was just 50/50
    • Perhaps future firmware updates will resolve the signal dropout issues.
    • However up until it died, it was a champ, good signal, decent web interface, rebooted in a reasonable time compared to similar products.
    • Weak signal; replaced twice and still not functioning great; troubleshooting and return process un-necessarily complex to get you to just give up; will never buy from D-Link again
    • Very strong signal as expected from gaming router
    • Signal is exceptionally weak
    • Great signal throughout the house.
    • An old 802.11g router works just fine with all of these devices.
    • The MIMO function is great and the smart switching between 2.4g and 5g works great
    • I've had Wireless-N and Wireless-G D-Link routers that worked great, but ever since I moved to AC, I've only had issues
    • An old 802.11g router works just fine with all of these devices.
    • Because of their mumbling and tenuous at best grasp of English, neither of us understood each other most of the time) only to still have WiFi that was as slow as or slower than the 8 year old modem it was replacing.
    • Only lasted a year conveniently at the end of warranty, currently this point it no longer works as it should
