Router is great…received firmware update 1.7.01. Connection is totally stable from last 1 day and I am using it as an EXTENDER(Wifi-to-Wifi) that extends the network from Airtel Fiber Nokia router which is i believe wifi-5 AC1500 device. I haven’t use an app yet. It has option to keep the wifi stays always ON or schedule it on your own timings. I haven’t noticed the auto reboot scheduling feature yet. The 4.5 ⭐ is leaving because it doesn’t have automatic signal hoping feature, means it doesn’t automatically connect to the device having low signal and doesn’t leave the signal having low signal strength. My Asus 2.4ghz Repeater has this automatic signal hopping feature. So better buy Repeater, not extender. Signal is enough for 2500sq.ft. house if using as EXTENDER and having main router signal Currently, I am keeping this extender accross 12inch wall partition of 2 rooms due to almirah covering those partitions and doors closed, getting 200mbps speed on 300mbps connection and stable enough to connect 7 devices working 24 hours on the router. Moreover, my cellphone is showing wifi-6 on wifi icon and laptop also recognising proper channels of wifi-6. LED are bright enough that can be turned off. I haven’t used an app for this router yet, so can’t say about this feature. It has got a very strong signal that I never expected from the reviews of other users. It uses one network to extend into 2.4ghz and 5ghz. So if you’ve scanned and connected to 5ghz, the 2.4ghz and 5ghz will have a stream connection from 5ghz network that you selected. You can sperately create 2.4ghz and 5ghz SSID by disabling Smart Coonect. Main thing is to check with Jio Fibre router because most of the Repeater disconnect frequently with Jio Fibre routers. As a mesh device and extender, blindly go with it.

Been using this router for over a month now, mostly operational with a few bugs here and there. I grabbed this during the introductory sale for ₹2,750 so no complaints regarding the price. Here comes the initial observations after a month of usage – firmware is a bit unstable and needs a lot of refinement through OTA updates, WPA3 & Mesh have bugs, settings like Beacon Interval & RTS threshold are locked, performance of AI is not up to the mark, router needs to be rebooted every two odd days for lag free operation, UI is slow and takes 1.5-3 minutes (sometimes over 5 minutes) to update settings and reboot. D-Link should definitely look into these and fix them with OTA updates. Else everything is well and good.
#Update After 3 Months: Updated firmware to version 1.05.01, router operation is mostly stable now. WPA3, Mesh, and Secure DNS bugs have been resolved. AI still requires further improvements. Manual tweaking options (e.g. Beacon Interval, RTS Threshold, etc.) are still not provided.

Update – Returning this, worked well for a while but giving random issues which are as below:
* First one was randomly disocnnection and / or rebooting, replaced and got a fresh piece.
* Fresh piece didnt have issues of disconnection but the speeds I get are low.
* My connection is 400mbps but max this router reached was 300mbps. Thought it to be an issue with ISP , complained but was checked with their device and speeds were as much as 380-390mbps on a 400mbps connection
* Even on 2.4Ghz signal range was ok but max speed attained even sitting besides the router was just 75-80mbps max, no setting nothing made it reach more than that. Once it reached 135mbps but that was about it.
CONCLUSION: Requested to return this, probably this router still has some software / hardware issues which I am not willing to deal with anymore. Specs on paper are extemely good for the given price point but product fails to delivers in real world. Most of the AI features are just gimmick, doesnt work in real life.
For those confused by Negative Reviews and don’t know whether to buy. Has been in a same situation before I bought. Router has no issues at all in anything. Following are the common complaints that all the people mentioned:
1. Low download speeds
2. High ping rates
3. Rebooting issues
4. Heating issues
My experience initially:
Got it in evening, called my ISP for I’d password and got MAC reset done by then so I can get new router connected. Setup through phone using Eagle Pro App, took hardly 10 minutes coz app is a bit buggy.
Then comes the hard part. Speed on wifi is 20 Mbps, on a 300 Mbps connection, I am shocked to see it. Look at the router login and see the firmware version.
Remedy: Router had firmware version as 1.4.4, due to my previous experience I knew that updating firmware to latest would most likely resolve the issues. So I search “D-Link R15 Firmware” in Google and first link has all the zip files. Download latest version i.e. 1.6.10. Extract the zip and you would get a bin file.
Now go to router interface in system, Management and then to upgrade, click on advanced, select bin file and update. Would take few minutes and you have latest firmware. Now just to be sure, I reset the router to factory defaults by using reset button at back of router.
It restarts and I do the configuration again. And now that I connect it to my ISP ont device I get close to 300 Mbps speed everytime.
Nutshell: Update the firmware and you will get all that the specifications of this router promise.
Haven’t found any issues since 2 days, will update if I find any.
Wanted to help those who are lured by Wifi 6 at such a reasonable price but are afraid that it might not work. So I am giving complete process here so no one holds back on buying this going by Negative Reviews. It’s bang for the buck.

I have a large house where I had to switch between routers. The most irritating part was that the previous router connected in my room was unable to handle speeds beyond 100 mbps and my connection is 300 mbps. So I had to connect to the main router which had weaker signal strength as it was little far from my room. With this router i can enjoy full speeds. It automatically switches between 5 to 2.5 ghz and vice versa depending on how far I am from this router. Even the 2.5 ghz is capable of giving speeds upto 100 mbps. The AI is amazing. I can control everything with my Google home and phone app with a click of a button. Highly impressed.
Ive shifted my old router to my lobby
Going to add atleast two to three more of these routers soon
