It’s a two-antenna design (2T2R) with around 88 Mbps of routing throughput and 10/100 switch.
In open-air testing, best-case wireless throughput with out-of-the-box settings (20 MHz channel mode) is around 60 Mbps, but with uplink running about 60% lower. Changing to 40 MHz channel mode doesn’t improve maximum throughput, but evens out up and downlink speeds.
D-Link's DIR-879 AC1900 EXO Wi-Fi Router is a "low-priced" router in a class that already has plenty.
Pocket-sized WiFi network detectors may seem like a dumb idea at first. But if the size and features are right, they can be a real time-saver for seeing whether it's worth it to pull out the ol' notebook.

If you've ever wished for better performance from your notebook's wireless card, Aerialix' Mini Dipole antenna could be the solution you're looking for. But you'll need the right card in order to use it, so check out our review and see if you've got what it needs!
