**Setting Up Priority with Device Management**

To prioritize devices, simply place them over to the designated area and leave them there. This will allow you to easily manage your devices and ensure that the most important ones are given top priority. For example, if you want to give high priority to an Apple iPad, you can simply place it in this section and leave it there. If you want to give a MacBook Pro the highest priority, you can use this option to do so.

**Device Management Features**

The device management features of this router are quite extensive. You can enable or disable the basic firewall, website filter, and port forwarding options. Additionally, you have the Dynamic DNS option, which is useful for users who require it. Moving to the management section, you can add rules to schedule certain activities, such as disabling Wi-Fi broadcasting from 2:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. You can also change your admin password and upgrade the router's firmware directly from this interface. Furthermore, you have access to basic statistics on network activity, which is useful for monitoring usage.

**Guest Network Functionality**

The guest network functionality on this router is available, but it has some limitations. While you can enable the guest network on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, it does not allow you to restrict bandwidth to a specific amount. This means that users connected to the guest network will have full access to your internet connection without any restrictions.

**Router Performance**

The performance of this router is average in terms of Wi-Fi range. The 2.4 GHz band provides larger coverage but has limitations in terms of speed and range. According to the admin interface, the 2.4 GHz band can cover an area of around 15-18,800 square feet, but it may not be sufficient for large houses or multi-stored buildings. On the other hand, the 5 GHz band provides fast speeds but has a short throw distance of around 20 feet.

**Throw Put Speeds and Wi-Fi AC Devices**

The router's performance is particularly impressive when used with multiple Wi-Fi AC devices. In our tests, we were able to get very good speeds on both Wi-Fi AC bands. Specifically, the second band had fast speeds that exceeded expectations. This makes it an excellent option for users who have a lot of Wi-Fi AC devices and experience bottlenecks in their network.

**Power Consumption**

The power consumption of this router is similar to dual-band routers, consuming around 11-13 watts of power during normal usage. This is relatively low compared to other routers on the market.

**Pricing and Heat Issues**

The pricing of this router is competitive, listed for around $16,500 on Amazon. Additionally, it does not overheat even after continuous usage for 7 days without shutdown. This makes it an excellent option for users who want a reliable router that won't compromise performance due to heat issues.

**Rating and Conclusion**

Based on our experience with this router, we would rate it 3.5 out of five stars. While it has some limitations in terms of Wi-Fi range, its performance with multiple Wi-Fi AC devices makes it an excellent option for users who require fast speeds. Additionally, its low power consumption and heat issues make it a reliable choice. Overall, this router is a solid option for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable AC 3200 Wi-Fi router.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is ranit and in this video we'll be doing the review for this dlink ac3200 high performance Wi-Fi router and uh before I give uh talk about the router and give you my pros and cons let's have a look at this router and in terms of looks as you can see it looks very unique it looks actually like a drone or a spaceship rather than a router and it's uh based on the AC 3200 standard that that means it has two AC uh Wi-Fi bands both are at 1300 megabits and for the 2.4 GHz band it is uh providing speeds up to 600 megab so a total of uh 3,200 megab and as you can see uh this is the router the thing is that these antennas we have six antennas and these antennas are actually attached um so you can't actually remove the antennas and as you can see the router actually looks really cool really Sleek but again this as you can see uh is sort of a fingerprint magnet and it uh gets this chained very quickly let's look at the back of the router and as you can see we have the power plug that goes in we also have a physical onoff switch uh your internet connection will go on this yellow color Port which is again a gigabit Port we have four Lan ports again gab we also have a WPS button a reset switch and we have a usb2 slot where I've put a pend drive and we also have a USB 3 port and regarding the USB speeds I did test it for example as you can see I have this USB uh Thum Drive pluged in it's a USB 2 and uh DNA actually works very well on this and but regarding the USB 3 speeds I also plugged in a USB 3 hard drive the USB 3 speeds are sort of in the middle I would say in terms of read speeds I got some very good read speeds of around 45 megabytes per second but actually rights were a little bit slower around 25 uh so still I would say pretty decent for a router but before I give you my verdict how is the Wi-Fi performance and stuff let's look at the admin interface of this router and this is the login page and this also gives you an idea about the current firmware that you have and the hardware version and this model is also known as the dir 890l and you just enter your admin password and this is what you see when you first log in and this gives you an idea if you're connected for example as you can see I'm connected to internet and it's been up for about uh 3 days now it supports all kinds of connection like Dynamic ppop Etc and here if you go it shows us the clients that are connected if you just click on it uh this gives you an overview of the clients that are currently connected to your network I also have one USB device that is connected I'll show you that a bit later and if you go to the settings you can enable the visard to configure your internet or uh if you know what you're doing you can manually actually also set up the settings if you go to the wireless settings um by default this Smart Connect would be on if you do that it will ask you for just one Wi-Fi SS ID and password but I have disabled the Smart Connect because I actually wanted to manually configure the 2.4 GHz band as well as the 25 GHz band and if you disable that Smart Connect it allows us to actually set up the two 5 GHz span for example as you can see the first one I have to put it as this one and the second one as two what I have done is uh for the secondary Network what are my bandwidth devices for example my MacBook Pro Etc I have manually configured it to connect it to this one but if you don't want to do all that you can always enable the Smart Connect option now if we go to the network uh this again you can change your subnet Etc and the Lan IP via this uh so those options are there and this is the share port and this is basically for enabling DLNA server and I have to say the DLNA server Works actually very well on this Avatar thumb drive I've put some uh what do you say video files on that and it was visible to uh the DLNA Clans for example the wdtv that I have the Xbox console and I was able to stream video easily via that and it's very robust so the DNA functionality works very well on this router you can obviously disable it if you don't want that and uh you can also actually access this router remotely if you have a dlink account so here you set up that now if you go to the uh features again we have the quality of service engine here you enter your bandwidth what you have and you can just drag whatever what you say for example let's say this is your uh let's say I want to give high priority to this Apple iPad I can just put it over here and leave it so this way you can actually prioritize the devices for example let's say this is my MacBook Pro I want to give it the highest priority so you can do that via this option now if you go back to the features again we have the basic uh firewall uh that we have we can enable it or disable it and we also have basic uh website filter and port forwarding option we also have the Dynamic DNS options so if you're using that you can enable those options if you move to management uh we can uh actually do a little bit of scheduling if you want if you go over here you can add some rules for example if you don't want the Wi-Fi to be broadcasting from let's say 2:00 a.m. to morning 8:00 a.m. we can do stuff like that and up to nine uh 10 rules can be added and uh we have the system admin here you can change your admin passwords and you can upgrade your router you can just click here for check checking for the uh firmware and if you have any new firmware you can directly apply it from here and it also provides us basic uh statistics for example if there is any network activity uh you can easily monitor it via this graph so again as you can see it does provide quite a few options but not very extensive we also actually have uh what do you say guest Network functionality on this and if you go to this guest Zone as you can see you can enable the guest networks but again it does not allow us to uh let's say restrict bandw to let's say only 10 megabits or something on the guest Network so guest Network functionality is there and you can enable it on both the 2.4 GHz band as well as the 5 GHz band now moving to the actual performance of this router uh first let's talk about the 2.4 GHz band uh and the 2.4 GHz band is still very important because many of the Legacy devices still rely on that and generally the 2.4 GHz band provides larger Wi-Fi range compared to the 5 G band that's the same but again in terms of the Wi-Fi range I would say the Wi-Fi range was very average with this router if you are expecting that you'll get great Wi-Fi range with this router that is not the case the Wi-Fi range was very average I would say it could provide Wi-Fi coverage uh for a flat around 15 to 18800 Square ft uh but if you have very big houses like multi- stoed houses or larger coverage then this router might not be for you even on the 2.4 GHz band the Wi-Fi range was not good now moving to the 5 GHz band uh which is the main highlighting Point again Wi-Fi range on the 5 gz band is not very high that's the same with this router generally it starts to drop drastically after about 20 ft that's the same with this one and in terms of 5 gz band the throw put speeds that I was getting were very good in fact as you have seen from the admin interface I configured two uh what do you say Wi-Fi AC bands and on the second one where I had actually dedicated devices like my MacBook Pro Etc I was getting very good speed so uh this router is for people who have a lot of Wi-Fi AC devices and if you think you are having some bottlenecks or something like that on the Wi-Fi AC Network then a router like this where you have actually two separate Wi-Fi AC bands will help uh that is to say if you have more than 10 odd Wi-Fi AC devices then this might be beneficial moving to power consumption it's very similar to dualband routers uh it was consuming about 11 to 13 wats of power power in normal day-to-day Usage Now if we talk about the pricing on Amazon this router was listed for around 16,500 which makes it actually a pretty affordable AC 3200 Wi-Fi router another thing that I like with this router is that uh even with continuous usage I did not shut off this router for 7 Days continuously it was not overheating so heat is not an issue with this router but in terms of Wi-Fi range the Wi-Fi range is sort of average and if I have to actually rate this router let's say five stars is the maximum I would rate it 3.5 out of five I hope you found this uh video review helpful if you found
