Review on D Link Wireless Smartbeam App Enabled Dual Band by Jeremy Floyd

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Reliable router, but leaves a lot to be desired.

Not as multifunctional as we would like, but for the money I'm not particularly complaining. Got it for a great price during Prime Day and it works well enough for my purposes. Pros: Good build quality Initial setup is a simple 3-step process: device setup, WiFi setup, password setup. Both wired and wireless connections are fast and reliable. Reliable. The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands are excellent. Cons: Limited network configuration options. Limited/nonexistent options to create scheduled tasks. Restricted NAT/port forwarding. My complaints stem from my familiarity with the more open DD-WRT environment. As soon as a build of this firmware is available for this router I will be sure to update.

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • There are cons
