  1. Fastbut poor range

    4.0/10
    Reviewer: roadrashrob, Newegg

    I bought this to use for wifi in campgrounds to boost the signal. Would be good if you want more speed but don't have to be far away from the router. Read more

    • Boosted speed from 5.8mbs to 9.8mbs
    • It had a lower signal strength than my built-in N router on my laptop

  2. "Expensive for what it offers"

    Overall it is one of D-Links failed products. I would not recommend for anyone to buy as their sole internet device. Skip it and go for something a better, it's not worth the investment. Read more

  3. Easy to set up and Fast
