Review on ๐Ÿ”’ D-Link DSR-250: High-Speed 8-Port Gigabit VPN Router with Dynamic Web Content Filtering by Brad Phifer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Terrible UI, buggy, can't remove admin user or change their password

Setup UI is excruciatingly slow. It keeps saying my session has expired and logging out. You cannot delete the administrator account or change its password. Often the next page in the interface was a blank screen and you had to repeatedly click the refresh button until it randomly appeared. Entering multiple DHCP mappings is an excruciating exercise - it took me a full 30 minutes to enter 10 mappings because it kept logging out and showing me a blank screen, the popup didn't move and overlaid other information, it's stupid picky, what it accepts as a MAC address. D-Link has been making routers for a long time. Apparently their programmers never tried to tune this model.

Pros
  • Fair price
Cons
  • Reliable
