More than covers my whole house and city property, but as I said I connect when I'm down the block 5 houses away!
- Reviewed in Canada on January 14, 2022Style: WiFi5 AC3000 RouterVerified PurchaseI haven't had any issues. At first I noticed it would randomly drop signal but after a week it worked fine. Been using it for a month or two now and everything works fine. Decent range, I live in the country, and I can get it a fair distance away from the house. Fairly easy to set up.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 13, 2020Style: WiFi5 AC3000 RouterVerified PurchaseVery happy with this purchase. It's been many years since I've purchased and used a wireless router. I've just been using our Shaw modem as our wifi. Not as secure and turns out, not as good a signal as the AC3000 provides. The main purpose of purchasing this router was to enable some Parental Controls.
You have to get Shaw to change the setting of your Shaw modem to "Bridge" in order to use a 3rd party wifi router. Setup using the app was easy and just like the online videos show. Had no issues.
As for the parental controls, setup was again easy and easy to add devices to a 'plan'. Why I gave this product 4 stars instead of 5 is that the time-blocks in parental controls are by the HOUR. So you can't select by the 1/2 hour, or 15 minute increments - only by the hour. This is dumb and needs an update. I should be able to select by 15 minute increments. I'm hoping D-Link makes what should be a simple firmware update.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 31, 2024Style: WiFi 6 AX3200 RouterVerified PurchaseI have a smart home with around 70 wireless devices (smart switches, plugs, cameras, speakers, etc). I had a D-Link AC2200 mesh system with two extenders which worked reasonably well but after I purchased a couple of new wireless cameras for the outside front and back of my home, the older system wasn't able to provide a strong enough signal for these new high resolution cameras so I decided it was time to upgrade to the latest AX (Wi-Fi 6) technology. I initially purchased the D-Link R32 router but It would not work with my outdoor cameras on it's own so I had to purchase two M32's to use as extenders. I have a small 2400 sq. ft. home and yet I needed two extenders for my signal to reach the outside of my home. Initially, this seemed to do the trick as these new cameras were now connected. But soon after I got all of this set up and running, the constant dropping of the Wi-Fi signals started. I'm not talking about an occasional glitch, I'm talking about constant dropped signals several times an hour! These drops kept knocking out some of my devices such as my various cameras and smart speakers where I had to keep rebooting them to reconnect as they wouldn't always automatically reconnect after the constant signal losses. I also had to constantly reboot the router. Sometimes, when I would reboot the router, the network light would stay lit orange as the router couldn't communicate with my modem (modem was working just fine each time). I would be on my iPhone and the wi-fi signal strength would show as very strong and then all of a sudden, my phone would freeze and then switch over to my 5G data network. How can it show a strong signal and then poof, out it goes? This mesh system states that it can handle up to 120 wireless devices and my home has no where near that many. Maybe this system will work just fine for people with just a handful of wireless devices but definitely not a home like mine. Suffice to say, I will be returning my R32 and the two M32's as they are complete garbage. P.S. I also have a few wired ethernet devices and they always continued to work just fine even during the wireless drop outs.

- Reviewed in Canada on March 21, 2022Style: WiFi 6Verified PurchaseThis router generally works fine, as expected. But I found that when using the 5Ghz wifi bands, it only worked if connected to a device using the ax (wifi 6) protocol. The speeds were great, over a gigabit of transfer speed. But when connecting on older devices with only ac support, the router would reboot itself when transfering data at high speed.
I have no idea if I just have a faulty router, or if it is a firmware problem. If it is firmware related, I hope dlink will address this issue in a firmware update.
The 2.4Ghz wifi seems to work fine on all devices, but the transfers are obviously slower than on 5Ghz. Also the wired ports are good. I am keeping the router, but I had to configure my devices to use the 2.4Ghz bands except for those that support ax. This is a bit annoying for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars OpenWRT works great on it.
Style: WiFi 6 AX3200 RouterVerified PurchaseBought to run OpenWRT. Works great and half the cost of a Linksys E8450.
Needs to boot via restore mode to install OpenWRT firmware so power on while keeping the reset button pressed. Fantastic deal.

3.0 out of 5 stars Can't access admin from PC; router time randomly changes
Style: WiFi 6 AX3200 RouterVerified PurchaseIf you don't need to use scheduling or your PC to handle advanced admin, this probably is just fine. I had set up the parental control but it blocked at the wrong time. Hm. 7 hours earlier. It would appear that the router was using UTC and not PDT somewhere in the control, even though other parts of the scheduler seemed to work properly. The advanced admin tools were only accessible from my smart phone. too tiny. gave up in frustration.
