Review on πŸ”Œ D-Link DIR-855 Extreme-N Duo Dual-Band Draft 802.11n Media Router, White - Discontinued by Manufacturer by Eric Amiradaki

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable for four months

This device had problems with Netflix. Special port forwarding was required to connect to Netflix and view movie icons. No information was received from Netflix, LG Home or DLink regarding special requirements to connect to Netflix. This connection was never a problem with the previous Netgear router I used. It took excruciating searches and scouring of the internet to find the information. The 5.0 GHz radio came from the factory with a weak signal. Four months after purchase, the device began periodically resetting itself to factory settings. Between an hour and several days after a complete reconfiguration. Around the same time, the 5.0 GHz radio also failed completely. although "signal" was present. no connection possible despite default settings. Ethernet 1.0G buses work as well as 100M mode. I didn't get any change to test the USB port. I am returning the unit to DLink for warranty service and will update my review in the future.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
