Many issues best in networking products

Updated (5/16/2021) I have used this router extensively and have decided to give it up completely. One of the main issues I encountered is the wired connection. For some reason the wired connection has stopped working and I'm getting a "DNS" error. I'm wondering if switching to WIFI will fix the problem. I restarted my computer and modem a couple of times and the problem only went away after I restarted the router. So I'm pretty sure the problem is with the router. I have switched to several other routers and have never experienced this. This renders this router unusable for me. Maybe I'll come back to see if there are any firmware updates to fix the problem. At the moment this router is not for me. Thank you for reading my review and I hope you find it helpful. First review: Good quality but should be cheaper (3 stars). Smart Mesh Wi-Fi Home Router to try. This is the second Wi-Fi router I've reviewed and I have mixed feelings about it. Here is the rating. Good: - Reliable. Days without failure - 5 g and 2.4 g support for the tool with 1900 Mbit/s and a 4 gigabyte LAN port - Setup quite easy, optionally available via phone app or local web interface Bad: - Price on a high level for one AC router. For a similar price you can get a Wifi6 router. The setup is not very intuitive. For example, to set different SSIDs for 2.4g and 5g you need to set "Smart wifi" - No USB port deactivate. Summary: I don't have another DLink router, so I won't be able to test the mesh functionality. For a standalone router, it gets the job done, but it's nothing special. I recommend this router if you can't get it on sale.
