I purchased this from Flipkart a year ago. I travel a lot and did not have much time to experiment with this. But once I started I saw many issues. Tested it for one year to see if I can solve my problems before posting this review. The actual purpose of investing in this gadget was to untie me from my workstation but sadly this modem seriously disappoints. The wi fi router just refused to comply.
This is one disappointing product from D-Link. The wi-fi is selective – I did not know this was possible as all my devices have the same protocol - and does not show up on my laptops. It connects easily to my phones but never the laptops. I visited various forums, discussed with hardware and software guys, installed, uninstalled software, removed all other plug n play USB modem drivers… everything the techs suggested… no solution to the problem in sight. Just in case my devices were the issue, I borrowed a friend’s laptop and tried configuring – no avail.
The modem/ router just refuses to show up on any laptop. I finally had to compromise and as temporary solution, get myself a long - I mean really long network cable.
I then experimented with Tp-Link and Netgear models and they worked perfectly well. I was forced to invest in another TP-Link modem, just so that I could get things functional.
Sincerely suggest that we avoid this product from D-link. It will not serve the purpose of wi-fi in the house, for computer devices. It can only help if you are using mobile devices. Perhaps there are other models of D-Link that will fulfill the WiFi needs of computing devices. But now i am totally off D-Link as a brand, once bitten twice shy.
One stars for the modem.
