Performance: 33 out of 40.
This router may not offer bleeding edge performance, or a 1GHz plus SoC, but its performance is still awfully darn good for its class and can compete against even more expensive models with more theoretical bandwidth. That to us is another way of saying it’s a great value.
Ease of use:19 out of 20
D-Link routers have always been easy to setup and configure and the DI-880L is no different!
Build Quality, Aesthetics & Warranty: 17 out of 20
While it may not be built like a tank we highly doubt anyone woll consider it ‘fragile’. Mix in good classic styling and the only place the DIR-880L falls down on is the warranty end. Here is it simply standard.
Value: 19 out of 20
This router offers an incredibly good bang for your buck.
Final Score: 88 out of 100
With its combination of excellent value, dead simple setup, and decent performance the DIR-880L really is a good choice for those on a tight budget.
