I will disagree, gaming hasn't changed that much. Mostly still peer based now days. Maybe more graphics however that's still handled by the game console/PC. Game data and voice is still the same.

Maybe 4K however depending on compression. Of course raw no router can handle that well. Raw 4K is well over 10Gb. The time I was testing everyone's concern about the 857 heat issue. I did stream 3 different sources thru the 857 with out any issues, I had my xbox 360, boxee box and DISH all streaming from Netflix with out any hiccups. This was well before the mod came out. The mod was only for un-capping the QoS limitation on the UPLink only. This router was marketed as a media router. And it worked.

I would contact your regional D-Link support office or sales office. Ask them specifically if they recommend something for your ISP configuration and HW needs. They may recommend something for you.

The QOS limitation of the uplink is exactly why it isn't suitable for gaming for a handful of systems, especially if one of those systems is hosting the multiplayer server for a game.  If you are just using it for a glorified switch without reaching out to the internet for gaming on multiple systems, then I think it would do just fine.  When it comes to the downstream, I can agree that the router performed well.  It is the upstream and heat issues that really killed the potential of it along with being slightly under powered in terms of hardware for the time.

Uplink was based on users having 2Mb UP links or lower on there ISP. I had this for a long time with my ISP and gamed very well with multiple game consoles under one roof along with other devices connected. More than a hand full. Ya the issue was the 2Mb cap however some argued that QoS wasn't really needed on higher uplinks.

You'll need to make the phone call.

so what about dir 868l ?

[FurryNutz]

The 868L only controls up to 100Mb on QoS.

[vore82]

do you know any model that controls up to 100mb in Qos?

[FurryNutz]

You mean 200Mb? Is this what you mention that your ISP speed was?
I believe the newer DIR-88xL and 89xL series control 300Mb in QoS...

[FurryNutz]

I put my 857 online the other night. Must say, still a good router. Turned off the radios and put on a 890L running as an AP. The 857 is handling everything I'm throwing at it. Will be doing some gaming tonite.
