D-Link Systems has released its first wireless router called D-Link DIR-865L Wireless AC 1750 Dual Band Cloud Router. This router supports the new 802.11ac (5G Wi-Fi) technology, Wireless-N and legacy clients. Its cloud feature is currently limited that makes the router advantageous for remote users to manage their home network while on the go. This router does not have the useful HD fuel QoS feature that we found in other D-Link routers such as the DIR-857.
