Introduction
As of late DLink has been filling market gaps in its portfolio, first with its Mesh solution DLink Covr and today we look at a rather low cost AC2600 class solution from the EXO lineup, the DIR-882.

The DIR-882 is built from the same hardware as the DIR-878 and while the 878 was capable of AC2600, DLink had turned a few things off to make it competitive in the AC1900 class market. For the 882, DLink is aiming for a efficient gaming and streaming solution with features like QoS, Advanced Beamforming, and DLNA support.







Review

D-Link has been filling the gaps and appearing in the market with a set of their offered devices. First is their Mesh solution, the D-Link Covr, then now, we’re going to look at their somewhat low costing and budget-friendly solution from their EXO series, the D-Link EXO AC2600 MU-MIMO DIR-882 router.
The DIR-882 is designed using the same hardware as the DIR-878; and while this is already capable of the AC2600, D-Link decided to tweak things a bit, turning a few things off to make this a more competitive device in the class market of AC1900.  When it comes to the EXO AC2600 MU-MIMO, D-Link was targeting a more efficient streaming and gaming solution with features such as Advanced Beam Forming, QoS, and DLNA support.
Before we get further into details about the EXO AC2600 MU-MIMO DIR-882, let’s check out the other items and accessories included in its package.
