Review on 🎮 DGL-5500 Gaming Router by D-Link - Optimized for Superior Gaming Performance by Alex Foley

This router does the job perfectly, I got it to improve wired speeds for my Xboxone as it has gigabit ethernet ports (a big upgrade from my linksys e2500 , who had 10/100 ports). To be honest it was quite difficult to set up and strange things were happening when I first connected to my modem and the UI on the device side could have been much better compared to the Linksys UI. I think that in trying to simplify all functions a lot of usability and usability has been lost as I had to search the manual and the internet for a lot of specialized function definitions that could only explain/name what they actually do and I would don't do it have a problem. However the device is updatable, the latest firmware I believe is from 2014 and Dlink ended support in 2014 so unfortunately there will be no more updates. The main advertised feature, Streamboost or something that lets you prioritize bandwidth for all connected devices seems to work well. I'm not sure if it actually does anything as I haven't really tested it much, but I know my 100Mbps internet speed drops to 80Mbps when Streamboost is active. Hopefully it saves extra bandwidth for use at critical times when extra is needed and hence why my devices say I'm only getting 80Mbps. My biggest issue with this router is that it has NO IPv6 capabilities and is 3 years newer than my old Linksys router which had IPv6 and an easy way to have NAT open all the time. However, I have forwarded about 10 ports and now have no problem achieving Open NAT IPv4.
