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...

There are two things about D-Link's AC1900 (DIR-880L) wireless router that you should know: it supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and its Web interface sparkles from cleanliness. D-Link has made an attempt to simplify this router by a great measure, and, for the mo...

It may be a small point to some, but the D-Link DIR-880L distinguishes itself by its choice of colour. With the exception of Apple, there are few other wireless routers currently on the market in the more domestically acceptable white finish. Beneath the...

Back in November, we had the opportunity to take a look at the DIR-868L as D-Link entered the 802.11ac market. The 868L offered up AC1750 capabilities with 1300Mbps on the 5GHz band and 450Mbps on the 2.4GHz band with a space saving tower design similar t...
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...

What is the D-Link DIR-880L? The 880L is D-Link's long awaited step into the top end AC1900 bracket already inhabited by Linksys, Asus, Netgear and TRENDnet. Yes D-Link is among the last to the party, but in coupling the 880L with an eminently affordable...

It isn't safe to call it a glut, but we are increasingly spoiled for choice when it comes to 802.11AC routers. Choice is never a bad thing so it was great to see D-Link bringing an AC1900 (1300Mbps 5GHz + 600Mbps 2.4GHz) entrant, the DIR-880L, into the fr...
