Type
Router

Type

The devices we encounter are standalone routers, routers with built-in modems, and mobile routers.

A router requires a separate modem and distributes the connection to multiple devices via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, but cannot connect directly to the internet. A modem/router combines a modem and router in one device, connects directly to the internet provider, and distributes the connection to the local network. A mobile router, on the other hand, uses a SIM card and mobile data to create a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, ideal for use outside the home or in areas without a fixed connection.

Router

Plain router (without modem). The router is a device to which other devices (e.g. computer, mobile, TV) connect either wirelessly or with a cable, and it shares internet access with them. It receives internet access through a separate device called a modem.
Maximum Wireless Speed
2600 Mbps

Maximum Wireless Speed

Theoretical maximum speed with a wirelessly connected device primarily used for marketing purposes. The speed of each connected device depends on factors such as distance, obstacles, the number of other devices connected, the number of other networks in the same area, etc.
Maximum LAN Speed
1000 Mbps

Maximum LAN Speed

The maximum speed that the modem/router can offer to devices connected to it via ethernet cable.

1000
The 1000Mbps are mainly important in professional environments where the transfer of large files (e.g. high-definition videos) is a frequent occurrence. Note that all involved devices must support this speed, otherwise data transmission will be limited to the speed of the slowest device.
Portable Hotspot

The device supports various networking standards that affect the maximum Wi-Fi speed, distance, sensitivity to obstacles, etc. This information is also reflected in the more user-friendly Wi-Fi generation. It is recommended to choose a Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) or Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) device.

IEEE 802.11 b/g/n

The older Wi-Fi standard, known as Wi-Fi 4, is significantly slower than Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) and Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax).

It is recommended for use with few devices and for applications that do not require high speeds. For most users, it would be preferable to choose a Wi-Fi 5 or 6 device according to their needs. Each newer generation is compatible with devices that support a previous one.

IEEE 802.11ac
The most common Wi-Fi standard, known as Wi-Fi 5, is significantly faster than Wi-Fi 4 (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n).

Security

Encryption Protocols
WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPS

Encryption Protocols

The security protocols supported by the device for encrypting data transmitted wirelessly and protecting against third-party connections to your network.

The first protocol was WEP, which was replaced by WPA, which in turn evolves into generations with each generation having a corporate and home version. Anything older than WPA2 is not considered secure.

It is recommended that the device support at least WPA2-Personal (PSK) for home use.

WPA-Personal
The WPA protocol was a temporary significant improvement over WEP but still vulnerable and outdated. It has now been replaced by WPA 2. WPA-Personal is intended for home use sacrificing security, compared to WPA-Enterprise, for easier installation, using the PSK certification process (pre-shared keys).
WPA2-Personal
Replace WPA in 2004 with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) technology, which is approved by the US government for confidential documents. It is considered safe for home use. 2. WPA2-Personal is intended for home use, sacrificing security compared to WPA2-Enterprise for easier installation, using the PSK (pre-shared keys) certification process.
WPS
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) offers an easy way to connect new devices to your network (e.g. by pressing a button), but it has been found to be vulnerable to attacks and is recommended to be disabled wherever possible. This security gap is considered a risk mainly for corporate applications as it is very rare for an individual to be targeted.
MAC Address Filtering
No

MAC Address Filtering

MAC (media access control) address filtering is the ability of a device to allow specific devices to connect based on their unique MAC address, while excluding any device with a MAC address that has not been defined as acceptable.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The device has the ability to set up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) so that traffic from all devices on our network passes through it. 2. The VPN acts as an intermediary between us and the rest of the internet. This way, we can give the impression that we are geographically located in another country and the pages we visit see the VPN address as the visitor's address, not ours. 3. This provides us with anonymity and access to content with geographic restrictions (e.g. some YouTube videos are only available in certain countries, the Netflix catalog is different depending on the country, etc.). 4. VPN services are usually paid for by subscription.

    Due to the situation, the whole family is working from home (myself, spouse, child with remote learning), so I wanted something more stable and faster than the provider's router (always having problems and disconnections). After doing some research online, I ended up with this particular model because of its features (Wifi AC, large bandwidth, and the easy parental control being very important).

    It has quite good coverage with the 4 antennas! throughout the whole house (about 95 sq.m.) on both bands with several devices connected to it (desktop, laptop, 2 mobile phones, tablet, and smart TV). It has all the latest technology protocols (which I don't understand! but it works steadily and fast without any lag!!). The setup is very easy, you just keep the provider's modem and this router does everything else.

    Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase, it does what it says and more. For 60 euros, it does a quality job like routers that cost 150+ euros that were recommended to me instead of this one.

    Fan of D-link, I have smart plugs, cameras, and gigabit switches and so far I have been satisfied. I wanted to upgrade my wireless network to dual band (from an old D-link Dir-605l) to have better coverage at home and in the future, if I move to a larger place, to have the ability to add extenders from the same company. Positives: nice design, good quality plastic, gigabit ports for connecting other devices, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 for file sharing, and what impressed me a lot is that it supports very good parental control for those who have young children. You can create profiles for each child separately with their name, add their devices, and give them specific access times during the day while also blocking sites with online gaming, violent scenes, etc., as well as completely cutting off access through the application from anywhere. Also, the D-link application for the initial setup does not give you many options and requires a lot of work, it froze quite a bit until it connected. The menu, once set up through a computer, did not impress me! very basic and general settings. In the D-link Dir-605l that I am replacing, you literally get lost in the menu with the options and settings you can make. Negatives: Besides the application I mentioned above, it is also the price, quite expensive for what it does, as well as its range with 4 antennas, 2.4GHz and 5GHz in a neighboring room with one wall, it picks up 2 WIFI lines out of 5, while with the D-link Dir-605l that I am replacing with two antennas, it picks up 4 lines out of 5. Perhaps the company, because it is a Mesh Router, wants to support accessories such as some extenders. Overall: I would recommend it to parents who have young children who are away from home due to work, so there might be some control over the hours their children access the internet. As for the power-range, there are cheaper solutions from the same or other companies

Negatives: Besides the application I mentioned above, it is also the price, quite expensive for what it does, as well as its range with 4 antennas, 2.4GHz and 5GHz in a neighboring room with one wall, it picks up 2 WIFI lines out of 5, while with the D-link Dir-605l that I am replacing with two antennas, it picks up 4 lines out of 5.

    Very good specs (256MB RAM) and most importantly, it supports OpenWRT. I had bought it for 60€ from a well-known chain, but for some reason now its price is almost double...

    Due to the situation, the whole family is working from home (myself, spouse, child with remote learning), so I wanted something more stable and faster than the provider's router (always having problems and disconnections). After doing some research online, I ended up with this particular model because of its features (Wifi AC, large bandwidth, and the easy parental control being very important).

    It has quite good coverage with the 4 antennas! throughout the whole house (about 95 sq.m.) on both bands with several devices connected to it (desktop, laptop, 2 mobile phones, tablet, and smart TV). It has all the latest technology protocols (which I don't understand! but it works steadily and fast without any lag!!). The setup is very easy, you just keep the provider's modem and this router does everything else.

    Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase, it does what it says and more. For 60 euros, it does a quality job like routers that cost 150+ euros that were recommended to me instead of this one.

    Fan of D-link, I have smart plugs, cameras, and gigabit switches and so far I have been satisfied. I wanted to upgrade my wireless network to dual band (from an old D-link Dir-605l) to have better coverage at home and in the future, if I move to a larger place, to have the ability to add extenders from the same company. Positives: nice design, good quality plastic, gigabit ports for connecting other devices, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 for file sharing, and what impressed me a lot is that it supports very good parental control for those who have young children. You can create profiles for each child separately with their name, add their devices, and give them specific access times during the day while also blocking sites with online gaming, violent scenes, etc., as well as completely cutting off access through the application from anywhere. Also, the D-link application for the initial setup does not give you many options and requires a lot of work, it froze quite a bit until it connected. The menu, once set up through a computer, did not impress me! very basic and general settings. In the D-link Dir-605l that I am replacing, you literally get lost in the menu with the options and settings you can make. Negatives: Besides the application I mentioned above, it is also the price, quite expensive for what it does, as well as its range with 4 antennas, 2.4GHz and 5GHz in a neighboring room with one wall, it picks up 2 WIFI lines out of 5, while with the D-link Dir-605l that I am replacing with two antennas, it picks up 4 lines out of 5.
