Taking almost the complete opposite approach to Netgear, D-Link this week announced the newest edition to their lineup, the DIR-895L which at just face value will blow your mind.
The six antennas on the previous D-Link beast were some serious design, but on this they’ve added two more at the back to give it a mighty new look – but what’s inside?
Capable of 5300Mbps offering MU-MIMO this little baby ticks basically every tick in the WiFi router checklist, and like the Netgear X8 we looked at recently its pushing the price of home routers right up at $699.95.
We’ll give it a workout shortly, but until then take it from the source, D–Link’s Aussie MD Graeme Reardon said, “Following on from the success of our DIR-890L AC3200 Wi-Fi Router which was the first from the Ultra Performance Series, the DIR-895L continues D–Link’s philosophy of innovation by being built with the best speed, coverage and processing power available. One feature particularly worth mentioning is Multi-User MIMO, which when combined with Multi-User MIMO enabled devices, provides the next level of Wi-Fi performance.
Anyone who has ever lost their Wi-Fi signal while gaming or streaming movies on Netflix can benefit immensely from the advanced features and chart topping wireless speeds and coverage this new router offers. Investing in the latest wave of Wi-Fi technology, you can be assured that the DIR-895L will futureproof your home network.”
