This will be my last router D-Link

I needed to replace my D-Link DI-824VUP + which began to falter after 11 years of loyal service without giving up some of its functions (including MAC filtering on the LAN, DDOS, VPN , identification by radius wifi ...) and so to make me put some on page over previous wireless standards (I was still at 54g) but especially prepare for IPv6. Content of the brand, I took the last out the D-Link DIR-880: what was my disappointment: a new hyper-tape interface design to the eye but had lost all ergonomics, functionality accessible only via the cloud dlink and above all, the inability to use the cloud with a strong password and successive crashes during configuration via the cloud. Verdict: return to sender during the withdrawal period. So I turned to the competition, but after scouring all catalogs and manuals, no way to find shoe to my foot, even the side of free firmwares to the hazardous compatibility with different versions of hardware. So I returned to D-Link and I took the last model still using the old GUI. Although compatible with the cloud D-Link All features are available locally. I just regret the absence of a print server with a DB25 port for my old HP but hey, we must evolve a used JetDirect will replace him and the rather short list for MAC filters (20 addresses it is a bit limited in a home with the explosion of connected objects in an average family (3 desktop computers, 2 laptops, 3 shelves, a NAS, a network printer, one or more cameras, VOIP etc .. .). This filter coupled to an identification WPA2 Enterprise will put me well protected from intrusions. I also regret an LED for wireless activity. For Ian, I only use one port connected to a switch to have a basic monitoring of the activity. The design tower has two advantages, the camera takes up less space and is more stable than a flat device, even vertically and less unsightly these hob with 3 or 5 antennas you never know how to guide without counting the ideal shape for good heat dissipation (Apple adopted the same look for the MacPro, that's saying something). For wifi, I noticed a rapid decline in the flow away from the router N relative to G in the 2.4GHz band (but I saw the same thing in Netgear). For the 5GHz band, I do not have for the moment no devices with this standard.
