saw this router from D Link , wifi 6 and its a 3 pack sold by MobileCiti. Looks like all time low, if you have ebay plus then you can get this price,Otherwise its $129.
i just bought 1 month ebay plus to buy this.
Thanks
I was about to buy this but went looking after reading your comment. Now definitely won't be.
Mind blown that a 3 pack for $90 is crap
Flash the firmware with OpenWRT is pretty much a must with these. I use mine as cheap access points and happy with them. It can be time consuming if you haven't used OpenWRT before (and/or want to use the more advanced features - i.e. VLANs). I haven't got around to setting them up as WiFi mesh though.
wireless mesh is crap with them, but wired backhaul through ethernet ports works perfectly, have just run cables for them and they've been flawless for the last 10mths without a single problem
same here, I am using them as APs only.
Looks good, does anyone know how this compares to the TP-Link deco x20 or Netgear Orbi in the same price range?
The TP-Link is better. This has issues like frequent dropouts.
Had a pair of deco x20, solid router. Recommended.
Orbi are rock solid..
Real friends don't let their friends buy D-Link.
They're called Disaster Link for a reason!
I thought it stood for "Doesn't Link"
I'd stay clear of D-Link.
best flash to openwrt if try to use it.
I believe these can be loaded with Openwrt. I recently updated my tenda mesh ac1200 and went with Xiaomi be3600 (two of them wireless). Usually get my full speed of 250 downstairs while upstairs that is connected as a wireless mesh I get between 150-250. Still decent considering they are wireless. They are wifi 7 but as they are only dual band they are not really wifi 7. Very happy with them. Firmware in Chinese but after initial set up you can use app in English.
I picked up a set from Marketplace recently on a whim and have flashed OpenWRT with minimal issues. Dlink’s recovery mode makes it pretty easy. They have a pretty decent Mediatek SOC and more than the usual amount of RAM…512MB I believe.
How is the connection? Like how many Mbps when you sit next to the node farthest from the uplink router?
I have been using powerline (AV1300) but could only get max 70-80Mbps. I'm thinking of installing a ceiling mounted access point at the centre of the house, but such product is so expensive. Not sure why.
Do not buy this, I purchased this last year thinking D-Link would be good but it has lots of issues in its firmware, when it works it's good, otherwise it's constant hair pulling.
I bought these in a previous deal about a year ago. These had constant dropouts initially but updating the firmware via the app made it so that they worked well most of the time with only some occasional dropouts.
However, they stopped being able to provide internet access altogether about a month ago for some unknown reason… I've now installed Openwrt on them and they work flawlessly (even better than with the stock firmware).
I followed these guides

Cheers for sharing, made it easier for me to setup when they arrive, been looking for a cheap openwrt mesh solution.
Underrated comment. Marconefifty’s tutorial is a godsend and saved these routers for me too.
I've been loving my 2 pack for about 6 months with OpenWRT. A 3 pack would have been nice. Do I need 5…?
I think there's just barely 5 spots for 80mhz channels, but you'd be dipping into DFS channels. Also I'd be running under the assumption that they're all wired as well.
Fairly sure there isn't room for 5 access points on 2.4ghz though (non-overlapping), although that radio is 802.11n on this one anyway.
Are meshed nodes meant to run on all separate channels?
I used to have issues with those (one as main router, and 2 as connected ap),which I had spent 120ish last year. But when I added another main router in front, and these 3 as APs, they are steady like old dog!
Bought earlier this year, only to return them after a day of use due to constant dropouts and poor range. Avoid at all cost.
Went back to my Tenda Nova MW3 set up and expanded the mesh with MW6 units. Couldn't be happier.
Have mine
I have the 2 pack of these. If you don't do the custom firmware thing, make sure you absolutely do not use their dumb little "AI" that prioritises devices as they need it or whatever it is. Had a bit of trouble setting these up and my speeds were junk at like 5mbps but the ISP did a test on their end and got full speeds, eventually they were going to send NBN out before I realised what the problem actually was. Pretty embarrassing, but they do work well now.
Sometimes after a power outage I need to restart the extender again to get it to sync up, but that's the only issue I have
A perfect gift for someone I don’t like
I too had constant drop outs, I contacted online support so far after that was ok but I still doubt from Asus to Dlink wifi 6 was a bait?
I've had these for nearly a year now, running OpenWRT. They're rock solid, I think I've had to reset one of the APs once, ever.
The default firmware is shit, unless you're going to flash them with OpenWRT I would avoid.
The good news is that flashing them is super easy, takes less than 30 mins. $90 for 3 is pretty good.
looks like i need to flash with openwrt then, do you have video or instructions, how to flash ??
