## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall a Very nice product! 1 or 2 issues...
*by A***S on 19 April 2014*

I had a Netgear D3600 rrp around £160 and my connection was dropping left, right and center... by this point I had had enough and I started looking at D-Link as a close friend recommended them.Pros:The router looks very nice and minimal, with the two lights on the front for at a glance information. I'ts currently sitting in the garage and its just running... doing its job and doing it well. I have around 20 - 25 devices connected to the router at one time and it doesn't have any issues running them. I also have a Seagate 1TB USB drive plugged into the USB Port and I can get read and right speeds on Ethernet of around 12/mbps. The wireless speeds are very nice. With my MacBook connected over AC streaming movies is seamless and not to mention the 2.4ghz isn't slacking either. Possibly one of the best I have tested for wireless. Range for me was Average for a router of this class. Over average for most other routers in a lower price range. It can push content to my smart TVs using DLNA from the connected Hard drive and it works a treat. The router also works fine with Apple TV's and Sonos systems.Cons:The worst part for me was the first day. Got the router set up and getting internet very easily. But in the first day the connection dropped much like the last router around once every two hours. This cleared up after the first day and the connection has now been live for days. The web UI could do with an upgrade but its not bad. The first time I tried to AirPlay Mirror my MacBook Pro to my Apple TV it froze the network... but after a restart now it works fine. Same with the Sonos. First time I tried to set up the Sonos it froze the router, but after restarting it works fine and has been for days... its been flawless. I would put these down just to teething problems as everything is spot on now hence the 5 stars. My connection gets 10ping, 20mbps down and 11mbps up quite consistantly. I have a WISP.If you have any questions please feel free to message me! ~Alex

### ⭐⭐⭐ Poor signal
*by R***O on 5 September 2020*

Easy to install but the signal is bit weak I am just a room away and the signal is already poor.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Router.
*by P***7 on 6 May 2014*

I bought this router because it looked different to the others available and also because the specs were very good. It was easy to install, although it would have been nice if the power cable was longer, and I set it up using my Sony Android tablet. It was quick and easy to connect all the other devices, ipad, PC, phones, wifi printer etc, the only exception being the Sky box, but a new ip address and a reboot sorted that.I ran a few tests using an Android app to measure the signal strength around the house and the signal was definitely improved. I just need to install the new wifi card in my PC and see how much that improves my PC signal strength and throughput.Update.I installed the new Asus card and the signal improved from 4 to 5 bars. It displays a 5G symbol and none of the local wifi connections that used to appear (about 15 or them) now appear, only the 2.4 and 5 Ghz connections from my router.Update 2.I have now used this router for 10 months and have only had to reboot it once. I'm still getting 77Mbps on my PC, which is one floor above the router (which is next to a large fridge, not the best place).
