User-friendly setup and management. Revamped, well-designed UI. Very good performance in 802.11n and legacy wireless modes. Excellent USB drive-sharing and remote-access capabilities.
Average to slightly below average 802.11ac wireless throughput. Did not sustain wireless throughput distance on the 2.4GHz band in tests. Confusing scheduling setup
The Wireless AC1900 Dual Band Gigabit Cloud Router (DIR-880L) comes with D-Link's modern and mobile-optimized UI, is a good performer in 802.11n and legacy wireless modes, but it's just average in 802.11ac throughput....

For someone who is looking for a new router and wants to have the ability to get all of their current and (foreseeable) future wireless devices connected with ease, the D-Link DIR-880L AC1900 Wi-Fi router is a great choice. You get support for wireless b,...
The D-Link DIR-880L Wireless AC1900 Dual-Band Gigabit Cloud Router has overall excellent data rates, long range and stable Wi-Fi signals. The router is easy to use, and can be remotely monitored via D-Link's cloud feature
The new Web interface can be a surprise for those familiar with D-Link's previous routers, and the USB 3.0 port takes a long time to recognize external hard drives
Despite a few minor shortcomings, the DIR-880L is still one of the best 802.11ac routers on the market....
Very easy to manage via the cloud, The best choice for consumers buying into DLink's connectedhome portfolio, Can share up to two USB devices (printer, scanner, or hard drive) over the network
802.11ac performance not as fast as moreexpensive competitors, SharePort hobbles USB storage sharing, No iTunes server, no ftp server, limited advanced features
The DIR-880L isn't the best router on the market, but it's a good choice if you don't need the power and performance that more-expensive 802.11ac models have to offer....
Abstract: So in sum, if you don't need much in the way of configurability or advanced QoS and parental controls, but want great Wi-Fi, then the DIR-880L should definitely be on your short list. ...
Clean interface that's easy to use, Good close-range 802.11ac speed, Good USB implementation
Speed over longer distances not as good as expected, Antennas could use some stiffness
The D-Link AC1900 (DIR-880L) is definitely worth considering if you want a no-fuss wireless router that can remain stable and produce decent 802.11ac speed. It worked well for us during our month-long test period, and we found it to be a cinch to set up a...
The D-Link DIR 880L is one of the most surprising routers I have seen come through the lab. Sure, we have had the WRT1900 and Netgear Nighthawk, but those were expected to top the charts from inception. For some reason, I wasn't expecting the 880L to be ...
