Wi-Fi 5 and gigabit ports
If you are looking for an inexpensive but functional router from a trusted manufacturer, be sure to pay attention to the D-Link DIR-842. Combining support for high-speed 802.11ac, simultaneous dual-band operation, and Gigabit Ethernet ports, the DIR-842 provides reliable home networking. Gigabit Ethernet ports provide a stable connection for a variety of devices such as network drives, media centers and game consoles. Support for QoS technology provides prioritization of traffic sensitive to delays.
High price-performance ratio
If you dig deeper, then the set of secondary functions will turn out to be one of the most impressive among routers under $50. Here you have the ability to limit the speed for a specific Mac address, and Beamforming, and a built-in VPN, a network firewall, and goodies like CLI and an FTP server. Plus, you can use both the standard web interface and the D-Link Click'n'Connect application to configure the router. In the first case, we get a wide range of settings. including the choice of the desired protocol, the configuration of dynamic and static IP addresses, filtering by MAC addresses, parental control and a number of other additional features. In the case of the application, the principle of maximum simplicity works when the user just needs to follow a step-by-step guide.
Fast and beautiful
In general, this is an excellent router that performed great in tests, famously spreading traffic around a residential building with numerous rooms. The only oddity was that occasionally the connection seemed to be weakened and a smartphone with a laptop, which were a couple of metres from the router, showed 2-3 Wi-Fi divisions instead of five. But this happened a couple of times and passed very quickly, so it was not particularly upsetting. It would be bad form to end on a negative note, so let's finally praise the design. D-Link has recently released some really cute models that you don't want to hide behind a mirror in the hallway. And the futuristic DIR-842 clearly falls into that category. Give it a dash of red paint and it's easy to mistake it for a $200 gaming router.
