Not much better that the one I already had

Works gut

So far I havent noticed a difference with my internet connection. I got the device to help boost my connection as I was having a lot of trouble with my connection when trying to use Netflix. I am still having the same problem with Netflix buffering all the time. I am looking at returning this device.

Good

This extender does the job, but so far after about 2 weeks of use, here are the cons: 1) I found it difficult to set up. Didnt work with WPS with my D-Link router (but that might have been a problem with the router, as I wasnt sure it was actually going into WPS mode).

I have Verizon modem MI424WR that is producing quite a weak signal not reaching all the rooms in my house. I tried a cheaper N300 externder (around $25) - the signal was extended, but the speed was dropping significantly. Once I got this extender installed, the problem was gone.

The D-Link AC1750 Wi-Fi Router DIR-859 is a capable, if basic, budget-priced router for small- or medium-sized homes.

Affordable; Easy to install; Four LAN ports; Easy QoS settings; Good close-range 5GHz throughput in testing

Middling 2.4GHz throughput in testing; No USB ports; Non-removable antennas

You can't beat what you get for the price with the DIR-867. It has lots of the top 802.11ac features and it performed well during testing. I'm not sure it will stand up to years of use, but you'll probably be looking to upgrade your network by then anyway.

Consistent speed on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks; It has lots of the latest 802.11ac features as well as a usable app, parental controls, VPN support and quality of service (QoS) for prioritizing your devices; Best of all, it's less than $100

No USB ports for printers or network storage; The router doesn't feel very durable

Junk. Constantly drops WiFi signal. Terrible instructions on setting up. I had to work around using my own intuition to get it running. I'm relatively tech savvy, but it wasn't clear to me when I purchased that it's an extender, but it is really another extended portal.
