D-Link WiFi Router Mesh Internet Network

Worked great. Easy setup.

I like this new router. I have been a fan of D-Link for years. Most definitely will be buying more. connectivity and speeds are really reliable.

I purchased this from Amazon on Dec 12, 2020. I installed it on Christmas eve. It started going flakey a few weeks ago. It died for good on July 1, 2021. I've done hard resets, I've called and talked with Dlink Technical Support. Their people are great. In fact - I need to note that I was really impressed at how patient, knowledgeable and thorough they were. 5 stars for their tech support team! Unfortunately - not even great people can resurrect a dead router. Over many years, I've used Linksys, TP-link and Dlink. I use an APC power/surge protector for routers and replace it whenever I get a new router. Wireless routers used to last about 3 years. I hope 6 months isn't the new normal. I've replaced this with a locally purchased TP link AX3000. We will see.

Easy to set up, but quality of coverage is overrated. Little expensive. Can probably do better at same or less expensive model.

I have a fairly big home (3,400 sq ft) with my internet provider's modem/router downstairs and my big TV upstairs. While I have a fantastic internet package, my TV was constantly giving the buffering signal as it was not getting a very good signal. I tried using some cheap repeaters as an option which seemed to slow everything down in the house. I then tried a cheap router from another company and got disastrous results. Internet speed was all over the place and the range was terrible. I decided to bite the bullet and buy this device. Setup was a piece of cake. Normally, when I go into a router's settings, it leaves me feeling overwhelmed with all the settings. I'm sure this router also has all those complex settings but it had a very handy wizard that allowed me set things up. It basically said, "what is your network name and what will the password be". There is also a feature that you can use your phone to connect to the device and do things that way but I did things the old fashioned way of typing in the IP address. (Don't forget to turn off the antenna for your internet provider's modem/router so that it only works as a modem). I now have a full strength signal and netflix no longer buffers anywhere in my house. No problems connecting to my work VPN either. I am very happy with my purchase.

Easy setup, works, see how long it lasts.

Works great when it’s working. First to use this behind another router such as your ISPs gateway modem/router you must configure it as an access point. It doesn’t come with an access mode but there are guides online on how to set it up and it’s reasonably simple. When I first set it up it worked fabulously. On occasion it just stops working. Basically devices stop being able to connect to it out if the blue. Resetting the router clears it up but it’s inconvenient to say the least. I’d say I reset 2 or 3 times a month. So not horrible but still inconvenient.

Easy to set up

Large footprint so make sure to have adequate room, strong wifi signal throughout large home and in my 3-car attached garage, app is not required but does make control of router easier. I am getting much faster internet speeds since upgrading to this new router over an older D-Link router.

Originally gave this a one star because I could not get wi-fi calling on it. Contacted customer support for assistance and was told that wi-fi calling was not a feature. A necessity where I live because cell service is lacking. After posting the same question here a d-link representative told me "make sure IPSec (VPN) is enabled on the router. This is enabled by default". He was correct that was the exact issue. He was incorrect that it was enabled by default (and kinda hard to find.) It was not. Three stars for the a product that seems to work quite well. One star for the D-Link Commentator that got me fixed up. Holding back a star for customer support thats obviously clueless about the product.
