I replaced my old D-Link DL-624 router with the DIR-890 and was impressed by just how much progress D-Link has made in the past several years. The speed is phenomenal. I have FiOs 75/75 service and observe that I can get upwards of 35 Mbps up/down on my iPad. This is about 5-10 times faster than my previous D-Link router. In addition, I was able to plug in a USB3.0 hard drive into the router to serve as a DLNA media server for my home movies and TiVo recordings. This feature is a real bonus.
The footprint of this unit is significantly larger than any of its predecessors. Because the router shares space with a large switch, VoIP box, and the external drive, I wound up buying a cheap monitor stand to elevate the DIR-890 a few inches above the other equipment. The router was easy to configure and I could set quality of service for key IPs around the house.
Like my first Router, D-Link continues to provide a great router that has advanced our home up to the next level of Internet performance.
