Question 1

How many ports are on this unit?

Accepted Answer

Like most home routers, it has four 10/100/1000 wired Ethernet ports.  The internal wiring is the equivalent of CAT7.  Oh, and in case you're wondering, the wireless reach of this router is astoundingly good.

Question 2

I am trying to figure out what they mean by high power antennas.... for example I currently have an ASUS RT 3200.  The signal strength on the 5GHZ band is actually pretty poor.  So much so I was going to purchase the new EXO router from D Link.  However, I would prefer to have a Tri Band router.  So my question is, does this new D Link 895L have the same power antennas that the EXO router does?

Accepted Answer

No, they're not the same, but the DIR-895L delivers spectacular WiFi performance in both bands for me, better than any other I've evaluated or owned.  I've owned a series of high-end routers in my huge, old Victorian house and always required a relay device to get a usable signal on the 2.4 GHz band upstairs, and the 5 GHz band was a total loss due to the wire mesh in the plaster walls.  Now, with the DIR-895L, I don't need the extender and strong signals upstairs on both bands and all there radios.  This router is highly recommend.

Question 3

Is there anywhere to purchase replacement antennas?  My dog got a hold of the package..   yikes!

Accepted Answer

You will probably have to contact D-link customer service directly for replacement antennas, I have not found them available on-line.
