D-Link M32, Eagle Pro AI WiFi 6 Lifestyle Router - Smart Wireless Internet Network, Compatible with Alexa and Google, AX3200

I had a previous good experience with this item but Unfortunately this time although well connected it didn't improve my signal at all even with devices located very close in same room

Artículo sin actualización desde 2021. Por lo que algunas funcionalidades, ya no son compatibles (por ejemplo: la prueba de velocidad integrada) Extremadamente restringido en cuanto a opciones, configuración y compatibilidad. Material de muy baja calidad, lejos de parecer un router decorativo, parece un juguete mal terminado. Pésimo rendimiento. Olvídate de jugar si alguien abre un vídeo o descarga un archivo. La velocidad se ve extremadamente restringida (y eso que es una línea 100/50 de fibra óptica)

It was very easy to set this up as a mesh extender used with the Xfinity router. Does just what is expected: makes a fast connection with the router and then provides strong, fast signal to the extended area. Uses the same SSID and password as the router (picked it up automatically from the router). Once started it automatically started picking up connections to devices on our network and improving their connection. That includes our main TV (Samsung) and a couple of the Xfinity boxes in our house. All of those are visibly faster! Like, a lot faster! Loading up an app on the TV (e.g. Netflix or Prime or Max) goes so much faster it is astonishing. Well worth this price.

Hands down this is the best router I've ever owned/used. Setup is incredibly simple, using any device you have. WiFi connections are strong and fast. Coverage is amazing, no drop zones throughout my 3 level 1500 sqf. house and outside patio, it doesn't cover my whole property but does provide more outdoor coverage than I've had from any other router I've had in the past. There are dozens of other networks around me, this router deals well with frequency overcrowding, automatically scanning the environment and adjusting itself once a week. I've only had to manually reset this router 4 times since June, 3 of those times in one day because of ISP issues. It works with Alexa I know that for sure and I think it works with whatever Google is calling their assistant now. (Some may notice the ASUS router in the pic. I turned the WiFi off and use it for my wired devices in my entertainment unit.)

If I could write zero stars I would. Unit is one year old, stopped working (constantly dropping internet). Paid extra money for D-Link "premium support", over 200 phone calls to their support line with busy signal each time. 25 e-mails sent to their e-mail support, half the time they don't respond, and when they do they just answer back with a question. You respond to their question and then they never get back to you after that. The fact that my credit card was charged for premium support that I can't access qualifies as fraud. HIGHLY RECOMMEND NEVER BUYING D-LINK EVER.

I originally had three of these in an attempt to provide coverage to my old brick house which always has wi-fi signal issues. They worked better than what I had before them, as we received better overall coverage and connectivity. Unfortunately, the speed was still no where near the internet speeds what I could get with a cable (150Mbps@max on 5Ghz vs ~500Mbps on ethernet). Fortunately, OpenWRT has introduced support for this device... so now not only is the speed better on 5Ghz (over 200Mbps min) but there is also support for extra SSIDs (including guest networks), better support for selecting wi-fi channels, as well as additional support for VLANs (difficulty level=advanced) and other non-vendor supported applications . These also have one of the easiest OpenWRT installs outside of regular menu flashing on some... and they one of the safest installs by supporting U-Boot recovery if anything goes wrong with firmware updates or if you want to easily go back to DLink firmware from OpenWRT. There are four antennas on the 5Ghz AX band for mu-mimo (differing reports on the 2.4Ghz N band from 2 to 4 and it is often listed as AX instead of N)... and the signal strength settings are decent for 5Ghz, though they support up to 1watt for the 2.4Ghz band in case you need to overpower nearby signals. These devices have two-core arm processors (MediaTek Filogic) at 1.35Ghz and 512MB of RAM... while there is supposed to be significant storage (128MB), only about 21Gb is available in OpenWRT (which is only average). There are three ethernet ports on each device, though one is configured as WAN by default. These are basically the same hardware as the E8450, though without the flashing issues, two ethernet ports, and the USB port. I use the E8450 as the ethernet backhaul AP and these as wifi backhaul APs... since they are much faster than other brands due to the four 5Ghz antennas on each. At 45USD, these are good mesh routers... though you will need two or three. I am rating these four stars for the default firmware as shipped since they are very stable though missing many features. I am rating these five stars when running OpenWRT. As always, your mileage and preferences may vary...
