Pros

D-link's router is an unassuming looking device. Installation was easy -- however, as an it geek, i'm pretty used to doing this sort of thing. The app is very easy to use and installation is a snap. The only other issue is with streaming.

As you distance yourself from the router you will hope to get around 100-200mbit so that your internet speeds don't dwindle. Ghz range is particularly good, too. This is a significant leap from my old router as it has way more horsepower top to bottom...  Read More

The dir-2640 comes in a slick retail box. The wps feature is very convenient. Easy to link my wi-fi extender upstairs & the printer.



Cons

The interface/firmware is extremely slow and non responsive and keep getting stuck which required a reboot. It is difficult to justify spending this amount of money for something that will get thrown away withing 3 months. Limited warranty is 1 year.

Not worth the money or the hassle. Not really even a thought of a competition.

Dir 2640 us wifi router has problems resulting for the smart connect feature. Not smart enough to connect reliably with this printer with my apple devices nor roku. You have to reboot the darn thing once or more times a day, to allow your devices to b...  Read More

Thumbs down to d-link for ruining their reputation with a bad product. Dlink really needs to improve their qa, as this router costs too much money to be performing badly. Worst part of all d-link is that you wasted a lot of my time.

This is a significant leap from my old router as it has way more horsepower top to bottom with the new wifi 6 capability


It even has cloud support to the router to accept voice commands however i find the functionality for it to be rather buggy and cumbersome

Price


Overall its a great bang for your buck


Previously had a tplink 1750 router running openwrt on the speed test i was getting 130 mbps this router puts down a solid 200 ...  Read More


The only two wifi 6 ready devices i had available to test were my oneplus 8 phone and a desktop wifi card i also caught on sale


Good price and does what i expected

Shipping


I had bought and received the same router a week prior and it worked just fine


I sent the first router back and a new was sent to me no questions asked


I had to call my isp to 34reset34 ping the router to obtain internet service

Packaging/appearance


Looks cool and helped fix our spotty wifi

Competitiveness


Dont be afraid of a brand that is not as prolific as the others


The range so far is acceptable but nothing special when compared to my previous d link routers in the past


I found the router to be excellent but the company falls short on tech support
