Review on πŸ”’ D-Link DSR-250: High-Speed 8-Port Gigabit VPN Router with Dynamic Web Content Filtering by Todd Foster

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Perfect right out of the box.

We had a reliable 10/100 router. The max speed I could ever get was 45Mbps. That was pretty good and good enough for me. I ended up upgrading my modem (Arris, w/wifi, Comcast), the connection stayed the same, but I knew it was better to use a faster cable modem. The 10/100 router was the bottleneck in the network. Switched to this 8 port router, enter 10/100/1000 (gigabit) and the internet speed exceeded 170 Mbps. (on all connected machines) I updated the firmware, although I did some digging on the website and picked the correct file. Works flawlessly, out of the box, but there are plenty of customizable features available if you choose to use them. Wired routers (without Wi-Fi) get very difficult to fine. We didn't have and don't need WiFi built into our wired router. For us that would be an additional feature.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Available in white only
