Wifi Range: The 5Ghz wifi is only available for short distances. Wall penetration is also weak. However the 2.4GHz band is strong and provides sufficient wifi strength for a 2 storey home. Wifi Speed: It keeps its promise and delivers very high speed Internet (depends on your plan and ISP also). Features: Can easily control the router using an app. All features are easy to use and has lots of customisation options. FTP: Can also attach a storage device like Pen drive or Hard disk to create a home FTP server. Common files can be stored in this storage device and connected users can access it. Also has extra sign in option incase FTP needs to be restricted to some users in building.

The product is undoubtedly good. I bought this after a lot of research. This is a mid-range router with high-end features at an affordable price. No other router came close to the features of this product at this price. D-Link is a Taiwanese brand. The first item I bought was defective and had to be replaced. The replacement has so far met my expectations.
1. First delivery: The first item was actually a router which must have been returned by someone using ACTFIBERNET. After receiving I ran the setup and set it up as an access point (to use it as secondary router). It was a D-Link router alright and it worked well but I was unable to see the transmission torrent client (tr-069), the DLNA server, or the UPNP server. So I reset the router but the wifi network names got automatically set to ACTFIBERNET. D-Link must have supplied the router to ACTFIBERNET for usage in their broadband connections, and for this must have overridden certain aspects of the firmware (firmware version 3.0.6) like disabling torrent etc. After resetting I could not login (as the password must have been set for ACT technicians) so I ordered a replacement.
2. Second delivery (replacement router) The second time while setting up the router I mistakenly set it to router mode (not access point mode) and then chose to configured it manually (instead by the wizard). This time I was able to see the transmission torrent client, DLNA and UPNP servers. Everything works amazingly now and I am happy with the purchase. I even reset the product to check if it is not a repackaged product and it still worked with all features.
Speed and coverage: I checked the speed of the router and it was well above my expectations. I have a 225 Mbps connection and the speed on 5 GHz network was above 220. On the 2.4 GHz network it was close to 70 Mbps. The 5 GHz band is supposed to be short range and is ideal for high bandwidth usage like TV. In my case the 2.4 GHz network was available with above 50% strength upto 30 feet radius including walls. The 5 GHz network was available with more than 50 % strength upto 15 feet radius. The network did not fluctuate and the router didn’t reset automatically.
The reason for high speeds is that this router’s WAN and LAN ports are gigabit ports. In many other alternative products like Netgear and TP-link the WAN ports are high speed ports (not gigabit) which curtail bandwidth.
The impressive thing about this product was that its DLNA/FTP/torrent clients work flawlessly. Using the DLNA server any DLNA compatible TV can run content from USB storage connected to the router. The mobile app (android) also works well.
The setting up of this router can be a pain. But when you get it to work it is a great product. Also I find it truly insulting to the engineers who created this product that some ignorant salespeople of Dlink/seller had repackaged a returned product and sold it. It just damages the reputation and hard work of the product creators.
I am still giving this router full marks because as a product it works well. The issues with shipping and repackaging should not really affect this product’s rating.

I am using the Dlink DIR-825 router as an Access Point. The router was a little tricky to setup at first mostly because the default login Password given on the Box doesn’t work. You have to try out logging into the Router Setup page by using WPS mode and then do the setting up. All of it takes time. Moving on, the positive points here are the 5G and 2.4GHz modes which allow you to get maximum speed from your high speed internet connection. Also, there are 4 Lan Ports which are all GIgabit Ports allowing your connected devices to run at maximum speed. This means that you can get speeds up to 867 mbps if you have a Gigabit internet Connection. Also, there is a USB 2.0 port which allows you to share your files over the network easily.
The negative aspect is clearly the range of the WiFi signal. The 5Ghz signal barely makes it to about 10-15 feet from the router. And 2.4ghz connection also faces a similar condition. It can reach a better distance but speed gets really compromised.
So, to sum up the Gigabit Lan Ports and the USB port are the best aspects of this router. The WiFi range on the other hand and the complexity to setup the Router are the biggest negatives. It could have been a great device but eventually it is only slightly above average.

I bought this router to make access point. I is working effectively and super easy setup. This is very well with zero drop in speed and largely coverage my house is 2700 sq feet, and this is covering largely.
Earlier this model came with USB. However USB has been removed in latest models,so please refer the specificication I made this mistake.
Lastly pricing, I m not happy, pricing fluctuate I bought the same 2100/- whereas, after two days price droped. Please watch the prices carefully to get better deal.

D-Link DIR-825 This model from D-link is great for a 2bhk connectivity & speed wise. Not a single time I faced any lag or jitter while watching any content on laptop & Handsets. High quality content can be seen without any buffer. But yes sometimes there’s a fluctuation in smart tv. But I think it’s a TV’s WiFi software causing it & not the router. Overall I’ll give 5/5 to this router 🤘🏻

Since USB dongles are low powered, I was looking for a router which can convert my 5GHz WiFi to ethernet. This does the job and I am getting full bandwidth (My connection is 150Mbps).
You should be able to connect 4 desktops minimum using the available LAN ports. There is one yellow ethernet port too which I don’t have much idea how to use.
