If anyone is looking to buy/upgrade their router, I can't speak highly enough of the D-Link DSL-2890AL.
thanks Snoop, was going to ask this exact question.
It's changed my networking experience ten fold!
Those that bag devices like the WDTV because of connectivity obviously don't have a decent router!
On average I would have a couple of TiVos, 2 TVs, a desktop, laptop, a couple of phones and iPads permanently connected to it… and top it off by streaming to a couple of WDTVs regularly!
Does that router have SNR settings?
Looking forward to the ~250GB dropping below the $100 mark. Currently using a 120GB GSkill Pheonix which I bought in 2010 for around $400.

Cool, when I bought mine you could claim a Dlink wireless camera, which I more use for the wireless extender feature!
Anyone know the model info on the "BONUS WIRELESS AC USB ADAPTER*"?
Valued at RRP$59.95
According to their website it should be DWA-171 (which actually worth $19 now)
I just came to the same conclusion. According to reviews the dongle is not very good on the 2.4 band.
What does the DSL-2890AL have over the TP-Link Archer D7 Wireless AC1750 that would make it the better deal? Any reason why I should not get the DSL-2890AL?
This. Could anyone chime in.
Patriot or Samsung evo if price was exactly the same. ( and environmental footprint was the same)
Samsung by a mile.
Patriots use a mish-mash of NAND and controllers sourced from a variety of manufacturers thus producing inconsistent quality; Samsung manufacture their own SSDs entirely (as do Intel and Micron/Crucial). I would exclusively stick with the big three in SSDs: Intel, Samsung and Micron (owner of Crucial).
Thanks for that crucial info
Any idea how the Kaspersky key works? Do you need to go instore to collect the key or do they email it out?
no 4xx-512 version?
disappointed :(
Just to confirm, stocks from msy are eligible for the free Ac adaptor? or they are from grey import?
As far as I am aware. MSY do not grey import. They use the same distributors as everyone else such as Synnex or altech etc.
As above. I bought the D-Link router from them earlier this year and was able to claim the "Free wireless camera" offer at the time.
so are the SSD's any good or just a waste of money?
its patriot blaze
excuse me and my dad jokes
The Phison controller these Patriot Blaze SSDs use is a red flag for me. The stated write speed (430 - 530MB/s) also seems to be an issue, with users reporting far lower real-world performance.
No one uses 60GB SSDs anymore and the 120GB is about $15 dollars cheaper than the tried-and-true Samsung 840 Evo, which still delivers extremely good performance.
Good point. Thank you.
Just went and picked up a DSL-2890AL and one of the Nano WiFi dongles. Apart from the never ending queue I am happy with the DSL-2890AL so far. A lot quicker and stable than my old router.
Alot quicker, can you clarify?
Honestly, I've never done any bench testing on mine. But I could just tell that things were transferring quicker and streaming content was a lot smoother… and to multiple devices simultaneously! That, and I never want to plug my old router back in to test it against!!!
bought one dlink- 2890al too, why my Internet still slow? Damm tpg.
