Even a glance at the DIR-2660's data sheet shows that D-LINK wants to be a serious contender in the field of routers equipped for the future. At a reasonable price, you get a device with the usual four additional LAN ports, support for mesh WLAN, a good protection package and competitive speed. Other capabilities include a parental lock and integrated voice control.
