Review on D Link Wireless Smartbeam App Enabled Dual Band by Duane Mann

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very fast wireless router!

So far this has been a great wireless router. We have 150+ Mbps service through Comcast and I can get full speed by running SpeedTest on my LG G6 phone at 5GHz (I usually get 200+ Mbps). I have an old Dell laptop but it usually delivers 60+ Mbps at 2.4GHz. On our Roku devices, they typically top out at over 20Mbps on the Netflix speed test, so the speed is good enough to watch 1080p movies. I am very impressed with the range. This works well in our duplex townhouse. I wish it had detachable antennas, but they could be installed with some modifications to the case and the necessary parts. The interface is pretty good (compared to other routers I've used). One weird issue I had was that it didn't accept the "%" character as part of the Wi-Fi password. When the save button was pressed it just showed a garbled mess of where the password was. I couldn't find an answer why, so I just didn't use that character. Those were the only issues I had with the interface. Everything else was easy to set up.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
