Review on WiFi router D-link DIR-815/AC by Micha Skolimowski ᠌

In general, everything is as always with D-Link - good hardware, but a crooked firmware from an outsourcer company from India and / or Pakistan. Firmware developers catch tomatoes, they fly at you from all users of this device. You can take the router, it is good, but only if you are ready to endure the shortcomings I have indicated. Pros: The router is good in terms of performance and quality of distribution over wifi, with the exception of some nuances. When all devices in your home are connected to a wireless network, cheaper routers start to work intermittently and share traffic between clients crookedly. As a result, the loss of high-quality Internet is inevitable. There are no such problems here. You can download torrents, watch YouTube with the whole family on all devices at the same time - everything will be fine for you and there will be no problems from the word at all. Cons below: 1. Too short wire from the power supply. It's just some bullying. Not enough from the table to the floor. What do you think in D-Link'e, do users have sockets on every corner at eye level in the wall? Is everything littered with outlets? Or should I invent a separate extension cable for the router? No, of course you can extend the power cable, but you can forget about the warranty, because. this will definitely not be covered under warranty. 2. WiFi 5Ghz is no longer displayed in the list of available networks after a day of work. with 2.4 Ghz everything is fine. But we don’t take this router for 2.4Ghz, right? And in the admin panel it seems like everything is included and there are no problems. But 5Ghz is simply not available. Heal with reboot. Firmware 3.0.1. In D-Link they refer to the fact that we are stupid, we didn’t choose the right channel, the download is big. However, it is not. The channel is selected generally empty. And the first day is just fine. The problem is either hardware or software. It is very frustrating that the manufacturer does not care about its customers and does not believe that such problems need to be addressed. It would be elementary to reboot the WiFi subsystem once a day and that's it, if there is no desire to understand. But even before that, they did not descend. 3. Fully programmable USB port. You won't make a file server out of it. The developer company decided that the user did not need it. The maximum HDD speed is 1.5 Mb / s, alas. Suitable for a USB modem, but no more.
