Tried it. Returned it. Cuts out a lot and generally unreliable.

d-link does have good hardware, but their firmware sucks. I would only buy a d-link router if there is dd-wrt firmware for that model available.

Reasonable effort, but this dated device was never quite good enough.

The Qi charger is a good deal if it includes the ac adapter

A little off off-topic. Is there an idiot's guide on how to set up a mesh system without a speed hit? Is that even possible? I'm thinking of installing a mesh system at my inlaws who live in an older but larger fully concrete building. I had bad experiences with wifi extenders and speeds were always dismal.

Look for a mesh system that allows a hardwired backhaul.

Honest question. What is wrong with DLink?

What's a good brand? Linksys, TP Link, Asus, Netgear? Considering price/value as well.

Got this in a pinch a couple weeks ago when my old router died. Will be returning once I find a better alternative.

Problems I'm having are:
- 2 work laptops running on VPNs have trouble connecting first thing in the morning. The first would connect almost right away after turning on and keying in my credentials in the VPN credentials entry pop-up, while the second one would take anywhere between 5 minutes to half hour for the credentials pop-up to appear after frantically clicking connect connect connect, wi-fi off/on/off/on, laptop shut down/restart over and over.
- 2 of my older tablets wouldn't connect no matter what I do, even after a factory reset of the tablet.

D-Link helpdesk was no help either. Took my info and passed it to "L2" tech. L2 tech called back the next day, asked me a few questions, and basically said the tablets that wouldn't connect are likely too old running on old tech (even though they connected fine on other routers via WPA/WPA2), and running 2 laptops via VPN connecting to the same host will always have problems even with other brands' routers (no problems before when they were running through my Netgear when it was working).

Hoping I'll find something next week during Prime Day.

I personally like Netgear for reliability, none of my netgear stuff die on me yet (tho their gui does need some serious work)
ASUS if you want to customize firmware and other stuff and they do perform very well but I got 2 dead Asus wireless router sitting around right now. (RTN16 n AC68u)
TP-link wireless router is just good bang for buck, but most of the TP link I've seen dun last beyond year 3

If you're technically inclined,
Just install OpenWrt firmware.

I did a year ago, but the builds were nowhere stable enough. Maybe I should check it out again
