HTG评论D-Link DIR-880L：易于远程访问的简单主力机

If you’re in the market for a dependable router with simple setup, administration, and simple network attached storage, the D-Link DIR-880L is a slender and far reaching workhorse that meets your needs.

如果您在市场上需要具有简单设置，管理和简单网络连接存储功能的可靠路由器，那么D-Link DIR-880L可以满足您的需求，它是细长且影响深远的产品。

什么是D-Link DIR-880L？ (What is the D-Link DIR-880L?)

The D-Link DIR-880L (no catchy nickname, herein referred to simply as the 880L) is D-Link’s current top-of-the-line offering in the premium AC-enabled Wi-Fi router market.

D-Link DIR-880L (没有易记的昵称，在本文中简称为880L)是D-Link在高端支持AC的Wi-Fi路由器市场中当前的顶级产品。

It features AC1900 Wi-Fi (a Wi-Fi deployment scheme that combines advanced 802.11ac transfer speeds on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz band), smart beam forming (which directs the Wi-Fi signal toward the connected Wi-Fi devices), and a host of expected features (like Quality of Service management) and extras like Network Attached Storage (NAS) functionality and a remote control app.

它具有AC1900 Wi-Fi(将2.4Ghz和5Ghz频带上的高级802.11ac传输速度结合在一起的Wi-Fi部署方案)，智能波束成形(将Wi-Fi信号引向所连接的Wi-Fi设备)，以及一系列预期功能(例如服务质量管理)和其他功能，例如网络附加存储(NAS)功能和远程控制应用程序。

Physically, it’s neither particularly large no particularly small as far as routers go. It has a fairly wide footprint but a slender build and is certainly smaller than the spaceship-sized Netgear Nighthawk we previously reviewed.

从物理上讲，就路由器而言，它既不是特别大也不是特别小。 它具有相当大的覆盖范围，但结构纤细，而且肯定比我们之前评论过的飞船大小的Netgear Nighthawk小。

Like the Nighthawk, we’re putting the 880L through the setup routine, testing, and analysis so you don’t have to.

像夜鹰一样，我们将880L进行设置例程，测试和分析，因此您不必这样做。

设置 (Setting It Up)

One of the things the 880L definitely has going for it is ease of setup. Before you even plug it in, the unpacking process itself alludes to how user-friendly the experience will be. The default Wi-Fi SSID and password is not only stuck on the protective film covering the body of the router, it’s also included on a sturdy laminate card (a card which features additional blank spots for you to write in whatever you change the settings to for easy future reference).

880L绝对具有的优势之一就是易于设置。 甚至在您将其插入之前，拆包过程本身就暗示着这种体验将变得用户友好。 默认的Wi-Fi SSID和密码不仅贴在覆盖路由器主体的保护膜上，而且还包括在坚固的层压卡中(该卡具有附加的空白点，可在您将设置更改为以供将来参考)。

One small thing in the box that we were rather pleased with was the inclusion of a pair of screws and drywall anchors. Sure it only costs pennies to include them, and in the grand scheme of an expensive router purchase it’s trivial, but the fact that it included hardware for wall mounting so we didn’t have to go scrounge for it was a nice touch.

盒子里让我们感到非常满意的一件小事情是包括了一对螺丝钉和干式墙锚。 当然，包括它们仅需花费几分钱，而且在购买昂贵的路由器的宏伟计划中，它是微不足道的，但事实是它包括用于壁挂安装的硬件，因此我们不必为此而屈指可数。

As always, before you dive into setting up a new router it’s wise to write down the settings on your old router to reduce the amount of time you spend fiddling with connected devices (changing the Wi-Fi SSID and password to your old one, for example, saves you from resetting every Wi-Fi device in your house).

与往常一样，在您着手设置新路由器之前，明智的做法是在旧路由器上记下设置，以减少花费时间摆弄连接设备的时间(将Wi-Fi SSID和密码更改为旧设备)，例如，您不必重置房屋中的每个Wi-Fi设备)。

Once you’re ready plug in the router and connect to it with an Ethernet linked computer. You can use a Wi-Fi device to configure the router, but Ethernet is superior in that you still maintain access to the router even if you muck up the Wi-Fi settings.

准备就绪后，插入路由器并通过以太网链接的计算机连接到路由器。 您可以使用Wi-Fi设备来配置路由器，但是以太网的优越之处在于，即使您将Wi-Fi设置无效，您仍然可以访问路由器。

When you’re ready to go, navigate to http://192.168.0.1; you’ll be greeted with the setup screen seen above.

准备出发时 ，导航至http://192.168.0.1 ； 您会看到上面显示的设置屏幕。

The first few steps are standard stuff: set up the Wi-Fi SSID and password, the admin password for the router, and confirm them.

前几个步骤是标准步骤：设置Wi-Fi SSID和密码，路由器的管理员密码，然后进行确认。

The next step is to, optionally, sign up for the MyDLink service:

下一步是(可选)注册MyDLink服务 ：

This service allows you to remotely access your router through the MyDlink web portal. Further, if you purchase other D-Link products like their cloud-enabled cameras and storage devices, you can also access them through the same portal.

此服务使您可以通过MyDlink Web门户远程访问路由器。 此外，如果您购买了其他D-Link产品(例如支持云的相机和存储设备)，则也可以通过同一门户访问它们。

If you wish to be able to reboot your router remotely, make small adjustments to it (like blocking device access or seeing who is on your network), or access media files on attached storage devices, you’ll need to activate the account.

如果您希望能够远程重启路由器，对其进行一些小的调整(例如阻止设备访问或查看谁在网络上)，或者访问连接的存储设备上的媒体文件，则需要激活该帐户。

After the initial setup you’ll see the main interface portal, as seen below, that displays basic router status as well as relevant address data.

初始设置后，您将看到主界面门户，如下所示，该门户显示基本路由器状态以及相关的地址数据。

At this point, with Wi-Fi and admin passwords properly applied, you’re ready to use the device. Setup was painless and probably the most straight forward of any setup routine we’ve seen on a router.

此时，正确应用Wi-Fi和管理员密码，您就可以使用该设备了。 设置很轻松，这可能是我们在路由器上看到的所有设置例程中最直接的。

试驾专业功能 (Test Driving Specialty Features)

The 880L isn’t the most bells and whistles loaded router on the market but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t ship with a fair number of really useful features. Let’s take a look at several of the features that new users often overlook.

880L并不是市场上负载最多的路由器，但这并不意味着它没有提供很多真正有用的功能。 让我们看一下新用户经常忽略的几个功能。

Guest Networks: If you’re not using the Guest Networks feature, you’re really missing out. It’s a perfect way to give Wi-Fi access to your house guests, to isolate them from your local network (if you desire), and to make it easy to change the password without messing with your own devices and their access to the network.

来宾网络：如果您不使用“来宾网络”功能，那么您确实会错过。 这是一种为房客提供Wi-Fi接入，将他们与本地网络隔离(如果需要)并轻松更改密码而又不弄乱自己的设备及其对网络的访问权限的理想方法。

The 880L has both a 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz guest network as well as AP isolation (identified as “Home Network Access). If you want your guests to access local devices like printers or to play network games you’ll need to turn this setting off. Otherwise leave it on to restrict them to browsing the Internet but not accessing your home network.

880L具有2.4Ghz和5Ghz来宾网络以及AP隔离(标识为“家庭网络访问”)。 如果您希望访客访问打印机等本地设备或玩网络游戏，则需要关闭此设置。 否则，请保留它以限制他们浏览Internet，但不能访问您的家庭网络。

Local MyDLink Sharing: The 880L supports both local and remote file sharing via USB devices. The physical setup is simple: plug in a USB drive into the router’s USB 3.0 port. Unfortunately for those of you with big media collections, you’ll need a HDD of 500GB or less (D-Link outright tells you that it has to be that size or smaller and anything larger fails to mount).

本地MyDLink共享： 880L支持通过USB设备进行本地和远程文件共享。 物理设置很简单：将USB驱动器插入路由器的USB 3.0端口。 不幸的是，对于那些拥有大量媒体收藏的人来说，您将需要500GB或更小的HDD(D-Link完全告诉您，它必须是那个大小或更小，任何更大的东西都无法安装)。

The software setup is a bit trickier and, like all routers with NAS features built in, a little finicky and kludgy.

软件设置有些棘手，并且像所有内置有NAS功能的路由器一样，有点挑剔和笨拙。

Once you plug the device into the router you can enable a DLNA Media Server to stream content to DLNA-enabled devices (like smart TVs and game consoles), you can toggle on Windows File Sharing to access the files via a traditional network share, and you can enable a lightweight web server so you can access the files via web browser.

将设备插入路由器后，您可以启用DLNA Media Server将内容流式传输到支持DLNA的设备(例如智能电视和游戏机)，然后打开Windows文件共享以通过传统的网络共享访问文件，并且您可以启用轻量级的Web服务器，以便可以通过Web浏览器访问文件。

In addition, you can create up to 10 user accounts to designate which users have read/write access to what folders of the attached storage. While that’s great in theory, it’s frustrating in application because the system lacks any sort of nuanced permission system. You can’t, for example, create a user account wherein that user can read the /TV Shows/ and also read/write /Users/Steve/.

此外，您最多可以创建10个用户帐户，以指定哪些用户对附加存储的哪些文件夹具有读/写权限。 虽然从理论上讲很棒，但是由于该系统缺少任何细微的权限系统，因此在应用程序中令人沮丧。 例如，您无法创建一个用户帐户，该用户可以读取/ TV Shows /并读取/写入/ Users / Steve /。

The user system itself is a step in the right direction (and better than what most routers provide) but it would be nice if it was just a touch more sophisticated.

用户系统本身是朝着正确方向迈出的一步(并且比大多数路由器所提供的要好)，但是如果只是一个更加复杂的触摸，那将是很好的。

Remote MyDLink Sharing: In addition to local sharing, you can also download apps to your iOS or Android device and access your USB-based media and content remotely.

远程MyDLink共享：除了本地共享，您还可以将应用程序下载到iOS或Android设备上，并远程访问基于USB的媒体和内容。

Setting it up on the actual router isn’t difficult (it’s part of the same setup process as enabling local access) but remote access is a tad trickier. You’ll need to download the MyDLink SharePort app and configure it for both local (when you’re at home) and remote (when you’re away from home) access.

在实际的路由器上进行设置并不困难(这是与启用本地访问相同的设置过程的一部分)，但是远程访问则有些棘手。 您需要下载MyDLink SharePort应用程序，并将其配置为本地(在家中)和远程(在家中)访问。

The app itself is about as bare bones simple as it could be in terms of interface and access (you pretty much pick a single file to look at/interact with either via general file browsing or via the sorted photo/music/document categories) but the setup is a bit opaque compared to the ease of setting up the router itself.

该应用程序本身在界面和访问方面都非常简单(您可以通过常规文件浏览或通过排序的照片/音乐/文档类别来选择一个文件来进行查看/交互)，但是与设置路由器本身的简便性相比，设置有些不透明。

What’s the most puzzling is that DLink has an app specifically for their NAS units and an app specifically for their Routers-with-NAS-functionality that are totally different. Worse yet, the NAS software (MyDLink Access-NAS) is actually way better than the SharePort app with a cleaner interface and much easier configuration.

最令人困惑的是，DLink拥有一个专门针对其NAS单元的应用程序和一个专门针对其具有NAS功能的路由器的应用程序，两者完全不同。 更糟糕的是，NAS软件(MyDLink Access-NAS)实际上比SharePort应用更好，界面更简洁，配置更简单。

Quick VPN: The VPN, or Virtual Private Network, component of the router was a pleasant surprise. Most of the time you want the most advanced VPN functionality you can get your hands on, but if you’re an Android power user you might have run into a bit of a headache with cutting edge routers: they use VPN that, while advanced, isn’t supported by Android’s native VPN system.

快速VPN：路由器的VPN或虚拟专用网组件令人惊喜。 在大多数情况下，您都可以使用最先进的VPN功能，但是如果您是Android的高级用户，那么对于最先进的路由器，您可能会有些头疼：它们使用的VPN既高级， Android的本机VPN系统不支持。

The 880L features L2TP over IPSec, a VPN protocol that will work with Android and is more than strong enough for home use.

880L具有基于IPSec的L2TP，L2TP是一种VPN协议，可以与Android一起使用，并且足够强大，可以家用。

绩效基准 (Performance Benchmarks)

Features are all well and good, but realistically what the majority of us really care about is raw performance. How does the 880L perform compared to other routers in our stable of test subjects?

功能都很好，但实际上，我们大多数人真正关心的是原始性能。 在我们稳定的测试对象中，880L与其他路由器相比性能如何？

We’ll spoil it early for you: it doesn’t lead the pack but ultimately that doesn’t matter unless you’re running a very overloaded and very data-transfer intense network configuration.

我们会尽早为您解决这个问题：它不会带头作用，但最终没有关系，除非您运行的是非常过载且数据传输密集的网络配置。

That said, let’s break it down by categories.

就是说，让我们按类别细分。

Wi-Fi Coverage: The 880L has a broad reach. Across the yard, on the roof, behind the garage, the signal strength was consistently better than -70 dB no matter where on the property we roamed. Coverage was comparable to the competition the Netgear Nighthawk.

Wi-Fi覆盖范围： 880L具有广泛的覆盖范围。 无论我们在物业上的何处漫游，整个院子，屋顶，车库后面的信号强度始终优于-70 dB。 覆盖范围可与Netgear Nighthawk竞争对手相比。

Even with all the plaster, brick, and other materials in the way the 880L has no problem reaching the laptops, tablets, and phones we dragged around with us. Anyone with property short of farm-sized should have no problem with lot-line to lot-line Wi-Fi coverage.

即使以880L的方式使用了所有的灰泥，砖块和其他材料，也可以很容易地将我们随身携带的笔记本电脑，平板电脑和手机送到880L。 财产规模不及农场大小的任何人都应该在地域对地域的Wi-Fi覆盖范围内没有问题。

Data Transfer Rates: The data transfer rates on the 880L certainly weren’t the fasted we’ve seen but, outside of benchmarking, we can assure you that doesn’t have a whole lot of impact in day to day use.

数据传输速率： 880L的数据传输速率当然不是我们见过的最高速度，但是在基准测试之外，我们可以向您保证，日常使用不会产生很大的影响。

The average Wi-Fi transfer rate through the 880L on the 2.4GHz band was around 110 Mb/s. The average transfer rate on the 5GHz band was around 300 Mb/s.

通过880L在2.4GHz频段上的平均Wi-Fi传输速率约为110 Mb / s。 5GHz频段的平均传输速率约为300 Mb / s。

Although it didn’t beat the Netgear Nighthawk in read/write tests, practically speaking both units provide fast enough transfer that videos never stutter, files copy quickly, and outside of running bench marks (or trying to stream files to dozens of machine simultaneously) there’s no real way to tell the difference between fast performance and really fast performance when both speeds provide more bandwidth than most people require.

尽管它在读/写测试中没有击败Netgear Nighthawk，但实际上这两个单元都提供了足够快的传输，以使视频永不停顿，文件快速复制以及运行基准测试之外(或尝试将文件同时流传输到数十台计算机)当两种速度提供的带宽超过大多数人所需的带宽时，没有真正的方法可以分辨出快速性能与真正快速性能之间的区别。

The Biggest Caveat: Last year when we reviewed the then-very-new Netgear Nighthawk we had to add a caveat to our performance benchmarks indicating that most consumers didn’t yet have the hardware to even take advantage of 802.11ac performance.

最大的警告：去年，当我们回顾了当时非常新的Netgear Nighthawk时，我们不得不在性能基准上添加一个警告，表明大多数消费者还没有硬件甚至无法利用802.11ac性能。

Sadly, nearly a year later, that caveat stands. The vast majority of portable electronics have just now got up to 802.11n and even products that have the physical hardware to handle 802.11ac (like the Xbox One) often only have firmware that handles 802.11n.

可悲的是，将近一年之后，这种警告仍然成立。 目前，绝大多数便携式电子产品的802.11n最高标准，甚至具有可处理802.11ac的物理硬件的产品(如Xbox One)通常也只能处理802.11n的固件。

It’s not the end of the world but know that if you want to truly peg your network speeds over the wireless channels you’ll need to ensure that your devices are 802.11ac compliant or purchase and adapter for them that is.

这不是世界末日，但要知道，如果您想通过无线信道真正固定网络速度，则需要确保您的设备符合802.11ac规范，或者为此购买设备和适配器。

Given that purchasing a router with 802.11ac capabilities is essentially a form of future proofing and will greatly extend the lifecycle of your router we didn’t consider this a negative in our earlier review, and we don’t consider it a negative in this review. We’re just hoping for further adoption of the faster standard sooner rather than later.

鉴于购买具有802.11ac功能的路由器本质上是一种面向未来的证明，并且将大大延长路由器的生命周期，因此我们在先前的评论中并不认为这是负面的，在这次的评论中我们也不认为这是负面的。 我们只是希望更快，更早地采用更快的标准。

好的，坏的和判决 (The Good, The Bad, and The Verdict)

We’ve played with it, played games over it, streamed from it, and otherwise toyed around with it over the last few weeks. How does the 880L hold up?

在过去的几周中，我们一直在玩它，在它上面玩游戏，从它串流播放或者以其他方式玩弄它。 880L如何支撑？

善良 (The Good)

• Setup is extremely straightforward and simple. Save for setting an administrative password there’s essentially nothing you actually need to do.
  设置非常简单明了。 除了设置管理密码外，您实际上不需要执行任何操作。
• Remote control panel software is quite convenient.
  远程控制面板软件非常方便。
• Beefy antennas work fine as they are but can be upgraded if you want further reach.
  坚固的天线可以正常工作，但是如果您想进一步延伸，可以升级。
• Indicator LEDs are very muted; just bright enough to do their job but not bright enough to illuminate a room.  Can’t say enough good things about subtle LEDs.
  指示灯非常静音。 只是亮度足以胜任工作，而亮度不足以照亮房间。 关于微妙的LED不能说足够的好东西。
• VPN service is Android friendly; very pleased with this.
  VPN服务对Android友好； 对此非常满意。
• SharePort/MyDLink service works well enough for basic users/simple needs.
  SharePort / MyDLink服务足以满足基本用户/简单的需求。
• If you’re purchasing other D-link hardware like their cameras and NAS units, it meshes seamlessly into the whole MyDLink stable of devices.
  如果您要购买其他D-link硬件(例如其相机和NAS装置)，则可以无缝地与设备的整个MyDLink稳定啮合。

坏人 (The Bad)

• The Wi-Fi performance is lackluster compared to similar models. In practical day-to-day browsing and usage it won’t be noticeable but you’re definitely not getting bleeding edge speeds.
  与类似型号相比，Wi-Fi性能不佳。 在实际的日常浏览和使用中，它不会引起注意，但是您绝对不会得到最新的优势。
• SharePort service overly limited and the app is kludgy.
  SharePort服务过分受限，并且该应用程序过于笨拙。
• Lacks FTP server and other simple (and cross platform/app-agnostic) ways to share files. App-agnostic sharing is definitely preferable to specialty apps.
  缺乏FTP服务器和其他简单(且与平台/应用无关的方式)共享文件的方式。 与应用无关的共享绝对优于专业应用。

判决 (The Verdict)

The 880L is not the bleeding edge of anything be it speeds or features but that shouldn’t outright disqualify it for consideration. If you’re looking for a stable router (we had no instability issues during the entire testing period) that has easy to manage remote access, more than adequate speed, and can handle the needs of your average household with ease, it’s a solid pick.

880L并不是速度或功能上的任何前沿， 但不应完全取消它的资格。 如果您正在寻找稳定的路由器(在整个测试期间我们都没有出现不稳定问题)，并且该路由器易于管理远程访问，速度不仅足够，而且可以轻松满足普通家庭的需求，那么这是一个不错的选择。

Further, if you’re the tech guy for your family the ease of remote administration and the companion phone app to facilitate it pretty much makes the 880L a shoe in for the families you help.

此外，如果您是家庭的技术人员，那么远程管理的便捷性以及可轻松使用的配套电话应用程序将使880L成为您所帮助家庭的理想之选。
