Great router. Just update the firmware (which was easy).

I took a chance on this one since I saw several bad reviews and I'm glad I did. I noticed that all of the 5 star reviews were saying that it worked great after firmware update.

I ordered it, hooked up and went to the web address for the admin functions on the router. First thing that popped up was that there was an update for the firmware. I did it right off the bat then finished setting up the router and have had 0 problems what so ever.

My old router was dropping connections and would buffer on videos. This one has been working great! I definitely recommend it and would buy again.

I bought this router to use as an extender in my basement. Since it is going to sit on top of my entertainment center, I thought it would be nice to have something cool looking for the gamers that tend to hang out down there. For $50, this thing was a steal. Not only does it look awesome, but I was pleasantly surprised that it has an extender switch on the back of the device. Once I selected the switch and connected it, it took me through a couple steps and automatically set it up for me with no need to find an open IP address. It actually uses the internet port on the back of the router to connect to the "main" router, so you still have 4 ports available to connect devices. I only see two negatives: 1. Absolutely no directions in the manual for using as an extender and the link supplied did not take you to them. 2. No usb ports for network connected hard drives. For my purposes this device was perfect. It came with the latest firmware.

I personally like the aesthetics. It's rather large compared to some other routers, but not enough to be a problem.
Vastly improved the WiFi reception throughout our home over the previous router it replaced.
UI was intuitive and easy to use. I appreciated the drag and drop bandwidth priority system for connected devices as well.
Minor complaint is that the on/off button is easy to hit when plugging/unplugging the nearby Ethernet connection, but this isn't a major concern by any stretch of the imagination.

Cool looking and very speedy new router with great range.

Just received this new router yesterday. Looks really cool sitting on my office desk. Setup is super easy and took about 5 minutes. So far my broadband speeds and range in my 3000 sq ft 2 story home are very good. Speed tests avg about 8500 mbps down and 1200 up on Xfinity. If proves reliable long term I think ill be very happy with this router.

Update 4/22/16: ok ima have to lower my star rating to 2 stars as I started having issues with wireless speed / throughput with this router on my laptops running Windows 10. Speed has dropped significantly as I move away from the router. Turning it off and on again helps short-term but the problem always returns. Connecrion also started dropping upstairs in my home. Plugged in my old TP Link router and these problems dosappeared. May have to contact D Link to setup RMA return as is past 30 day Amazon return.

Good conversation piece. Limited options.
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2018

3-year update - [NOTE - this was purchased for $49.99 in 2018. It was worth that price. It is not worth the current $99.99. Compared to competing products, fair pricing is, IMO, around $30 or so]

It's still trucking. I initially bought it with a low priority on the wireless functionality. As a wired router, it still serves well. It also feeds streaming and mobile devices adequately - to a point. Now that 4k streaming is basically always a "thing" even on lower end streaming players, cracks are starting to show.

Thanks to being SU-MIMO only, it doesn't handle multiple streams over WiFi effectively, even if only one of them is 4k. Other wireless devices tank in speed with a single stream going.

It was a good choice at bargain-basement pricing, 3ish years ago. Right now, it's massively overpriced and performance is extremely limited.

Look elsewhere.

Original Review ---------------

Cannot beat the price for an AC router with decent range.

Lack of MU-MIMO is a detractor if you have a lot of devices, but you aren't going to find that at this price point anyway.

Paired with gigabit internet, it handles throughput just fine over wired, and it doesn't leave my wireless devices starved.

Good conversation piece. Limited options. But again, price.

Issues, no support, bad deal
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018

This router seems only to be configurable through DLink's mobile app, QRSMobile. While you can access the router's config page through a web browser, doing so doesn't actually allow you to do anything. There seems to be no actual connection between what you set up through the QRSMobile app, and what you see on the browser config page.

Even though I have WORKING SSID's that I can connect to the internet through, this is not reflected on the browser config page. Instead, it says that my 2.4Ghz network is inactive (and it doesn't even have an option for the 5.0Ghz network).

Trying to actually update the firmware is impossible, as the app has no way of doing this, and the browser config page only has a blank page. Customer service seems to have no knowledge of this, so it seems like this device was either shipped faulty, or designed faulty. Customer service will be discontinued in January 2019. I highly recommend you find a better device.

Este es uno de los mejores access points que he tenido, vi algunos comentarios negativos pero la mayoría eran del 2017 o anteriores y los comentarios mas recientes 2017 finales y 2018 eran positivos, asumí que seguramente con la ultima actualización de firmware el producto había mejorado, así que tomé el riesgo y efectivamente es un producto que funciona muy bien.

Yo tenia instalado un DIR-850l el cual realmente me funciono muy bien durante dos años, sin ninguna queja, pero algunos atributos del DIR-879 me llamaron la atención así que remplace mi antiguo Access Point por este nuevo DIR-879.

Los resultados:

Band Steering: Esta característica ofrece la posibilidad de que el Access Point (AP) propague un solo SSID (Una sola Red) y no una para las frecuencias de 2.4GHz y otra para la de 5GHz, el mismo AP propague un solo SSID y haga en un balanceo de los clientes en ambas frecuencias y realmente funciona muy bien.

Beam Forming: Esta característica es cada vez mas común en los Access Points (APs) de marcas empresariales y la vemos mas frecuentemente en dispositivos de consumo masivo, debería de ayudarnos a un mayor alcance de nuestra cobertura WiFi. Y si este AP lo hace y bien, aun que si estas esperando un incremento del doble de la cobertura que hoy tienes, probablemente te sientas defraudado ya que solo incrementa un 10% al 20% mas, pero es suficiente en mi caso.

Desempeño de Equipo: después de mas de un mes de utilizarlo ha trabajado sin ningún problema, el equipo nunca se ha bloqueado, la red nunca se siente lenta y lo he probado en servicios simultáneos de video streaming (Netflix UHD) y múltiples dispositivos conectados 3 smart TVs, 4 Laptops, 3 iPhones, 2 iPads, 3 Bose Soundtouch y todo funciona a la perfección.

Definitivamente el DIR-879 es el mejor AP que he tenido, pero es importante tener actualizado el dispotivo a su ultima version de firmware.
