Reviews around range (5.00 of 5)

  • The range wasn't that great, which is why I had to have a dedicated unit
  • Overall, I would highly recommend this if you're looking for great range and fast streaming!
  • But I've got to say, the wireless range and strength is great
  • The range is amazing and so far everything has been great
  • The range is great, and we don't have near the issues we had streaming Amazon or Netflix from the PC to the television

Reviews around setup (5.00 of 5)

  • Setup was very simple - and it work about the same as any other DLink device I've had over the last few years
  • Setup was easy, and I was underway in just a few minutes
  • The setup itself was easy to understand and would have only taken a short period of time if we could have connected to the modem
  • due to it's easy setup, reliability and very good coverage throughout our house.
  • What happens when you key in either is that the user is taken through a very simple setup wizard and prompted to setup ID and password for your main and guest wireless account, as well as setup an Admin password.

Reviews around stream (5.00 of 5)

  • Overall, I would highly recommend this if you're looking for great range and fast streaming!
  • Smooth streaming to all wireless devices and no signal strength issues in a nearly 3,000 sq-ft home.
  • By offloading all wi-fi streaming devices (e.g. TV, Blu-Ray, etc) to the 5GHz Band, I no longer have instances of a tablet/laptop fighting for bandwidth while watching a streaming service like Hulu Plus

Reviews around performance (4.16 of 5)

  • Expected a better performance compared to my old Netgear WiFi AP, but it seems like I wasted my money with this item
  • I wasnt sure if id get good performance and normally the type that mix and matches usb adaptor with a router
  • hidden antenna, good solid design, awesome performance with known great tools built in.can be remotely managed, rebooted, offers personal cloud management and home media server via USB.IPv4 and IPv6 ready and compliant.firewall, advanced QoS, a must have for any self respecting techie.
  • I downgraded the review from 4 stars to 2 stars - since I really don't like its performance

Reviews around speed (3.61 of 5)

  • So far, no problems once I figured out how IP addresses work!D-Link Cloud Cameras and the 855L:Whew
  • Speeds are insanely fast for my wired items, and the wireless items that never leave range, all have the fastest speeds I've ever experienced for wireless
  • The wireless speeds are fine, but the supposed gigabit wired connections are terrible - orders of magnitude slower than the wireless speeds.
  • So if you have half a day to spend for an hour or so of considerably faster internet speed this is the one, just don't get used to it.
  • One plus for me is that I would like to dispense with the bridge and am getting ready to convert several devices from wired to wireless-N so they can communicate directly with this guy at much better speeds than bridging at G-speeds

Reviews around signal (3.44 of 5)

  • In the opposite corner of the house (kitchen), the signal is weak, similar to another less expensive router that was used in the past
  • I'll ever own, I can't see myself trusting them again after spending this much on a router that can't even dish out a reliable wifi signal.
  • Wen to the neighbors (very close, but still another set of walls) and I can still have a weak signal there
  • Many routers we have tried in the past did not give a powerful enough signal throughout the house, but this one does
  • One of the selling points of this router is that it can give you a better "whole house" signal than a wireless modem.

Reviews around band (3.44 of 5)

  • This supports both the 2.4 and 5GHz bands, and I'm actually using my Samsung Galaxy S4 to connect to the 5GHz band, and have experienced no issues
  • So far, no problems once I figured out how IP addresses work!D-Link Cloud Cameras and the 855L:Whew

Reviews around product (3.09 of 5)

  • Not only was this the worst product I've bought but the customer service with D-Link has been awful
  • DLink should get someone to clean up the review section in Amazon because you would miss a great product
  • See below a review of its use with the D-Link Cloud cameras
  • I have previously had decent success with DLink; however, when a brand new product has no technical support without fees and doesn't work out of the box, I will go with somebody else
  • If anything changes i'll change my review but so far its a great product especially for the price

Reviews around issue (1.00 of 5)

  • Update: I've since had some huge issues with not only this device but seemingly anything cloud related.
  • 2.4GHz and 5GHz)- Isn't hot (an issue with older routers of a different design linked to this product page)Cons:- Pricey, but you get the features you're paying
  • When she finally returned she told me that the issue I am having is related to the way the router loses track of IP's that have been assigned causing conflicts (this is a KNOWN ISSUE that the F/W 1.01 upgrade was supposed to fix -- guess it did not).To explain a little more, there is an issue with the router keeping track of the IP addresses on the network.
  • The range actually seems better in my apartment than my MediaLink, but I have had issues with my Xbox 360 being unable to connect at times (doesn't get an IP address)
