5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for IPSec tunnels between locations
By droolpup on January 10, 2014
Verified Purchase
I have found this router to be reliable and feature-rich.

I use it to secure connections between several branch locations and it works well.

I have also used it to secure VoIP traffic enabling me to deploy IP phones at remote locations without exposing the myriad of ports my phone switch requires to the outside world.

It supports DynDNS, too. That way I can build tunnels between my locations that have dynamic public IP addresses as easily as I build them between my locations that have static public IP addresses.

If you are moderately experienced in networking, this router will serve you well.

The built-in help text is seemingly written by English majors who would rather be writing novels, but haven't had their big break.

If there is one complaint that I would lodge, it would be to ask D-Link to fire their English majors who tell me that the field is for filling the value described by the label next to the field, and instead hire an engineer or two that can write.

For example:
Here is the documentation for a drop-down option and I Quote,
"IPsec Mode: This can be either 'Tunnel' mode or 'Transport' mode."

Really? The drop down told me that much.

How hard would it have been for the English major that wrote this to go ask an engineer what the differences between these modes are? A couple of lines of explanatory text here would be invaluable to beginners and even experienced users a like.

If you want to avoid cranky reviews like the one that claims this router is too hard to configure even by the experienced, then you have to hire a writer who acts like a craftsman and exerts a little more effort to document your product.

All in all though, this is a good product and I will buy more.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood VPN router with poor VPN documentation
By Pinyon on January 15, 2014
Verified Purchase
I had an old router and like to have VPN access to my home network. My throughput on the old router wasn't great so I have this a try. Throughput is now greatly improved. I would give 5 stars except for the VPN configuration. Documentation is weak and I had to mess around for a while to get it right.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis just works - no reboots - no headaches. Very reliable.
By TB on September 3, 2014
Verified Purchase
I just wanted a simple no frills/reliable router as the central point of my home network. The first thing I did was update the firmware to the latest available version. I then set this up with a connection to my cable modem, enabled DHCP, enabled UPnP and turned on some ports that I need for my IP cameras. Everything else was turned off.
It's been running non-stop with no need for reboots. It's rock solid to the point I don't even think about it anymore - it's just doing its job.
If you're tired of the consumer "toy" routers and just want something that will work with full GigaBit speed ports - I can easily recommend this.

By Tommy on February 19, 2015
Verified Purchase
Received the newest hardware revision and updated to the V2.0 firmware immediately. Tons of options for controlling your network and viewing statistics. Very simple to use, fast throughput. I have a D-link switch running to 22 ports around my house, and plugged in I get the full speed of my connection everywhere. I have not tested the VPN features (no need) but VLAN options work great, easy to assign devices permanent addresses (like my network printers). Plays well with my WAPs too. This is how a router should work, other home ones are just toys compared to this one.

Only caveat, but not enough to remove a star, all my other network devices have either brackets or screw hole slots in the bottom for wall mounting which I used to mount them in my power/network closet, this device does not have, so I had to use a couple of large zip ties to hold it to the wall. doesn't look as nice but works fine.

2.0 out of 5 starsVulnerable to "logjam" attack - not fixed as of Jan 2016 - Support? What's that?
By Deux Bits on February 6, 2016
Verified Purchase
Weird - this unit - hardware version A2, firmware version 2.01_WW (latest version produced 11/13/14 as of 02/06/16) has another security flaw. It is vulnerable to the "logjam" exploit (a method for breaking SSL based communications via a weakness in the TLS protocol). Current versions of most browsers (Firefox, Opera, Chrome,...) WILL NOT CONNECT to the router's web console since it uses a "weak Diffie-Hellman" key. And Remote Administration should be turned off otherwise "all your base are belong to us". Seriously?! How long will it take for D-Link to fix this? This vulnerability was exposed in May of 2015, Mozilla provided a trap to prevent exposure to this vulnerability in July of 2015. It's 2016 and still no fix? (I'm guessing never, thus my poor rating of this router based on lack of sufficient support) Yes, in Mozilla's Firefox, you can disable this check for a weak key and succeed in connecting, but this then exposes you to the vulnerability elsewhere. Argh!

I got this router for its reportedly excellent throughput, since an older GbE router of mine was choking on full speed long data transfers. This is a name brand, and supposedly "Enterprise" level router. You'd think DLink would be serious about support for this router. Apparently not. I do not recommend buying this router until DLink fixes this flaw with a firmware update.

4.0 out of 5 starsupgrade firmware out of box
By Andy Blanchard on January 7, 2014
So I am a professional IT supporting small businesses. This router is great for what it can do for the price, but its pretty frustrating because the boot time can be 5 minutes AND they NEED to have the firmware updated as soon as you open them.

once you take these 2 issues into account these routers kick-butt they are compatible with apple (read:cicso) L2TP and PPTP for about $1000 less than the next option (besides the free router firmware that will super-void your warranty).

good product but remember to update the firmware AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
