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.
did all problems disappear on openwrt?
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.
So basically standard D-link reviews. Still crap after so many years.
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..
I recently bought the TP-Link Deco AC1200, it's been LIFECHANGING.
My computer was always 2/3 bars but I was getting dropouts every minute. I tried every fix under the sun and sorta accepted my fate. Purchased the Deco Ac1200 and I've stopped having issues with my connection. Went from 21mbps DL (with constant dropouts) to 99mpbs DL with no drop outs.
I can finally play games without drop outs and interruptions.
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

https://youtu.be/vVoZppb_FR0Cheers 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.
To confirm, first we flash with the following - https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.0/targets/media…
Then this - https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.0/targets/media…
?
Yep that is correct
Excellent!!!
Thanks for the video links, followed them and everything went smoothly.
No more dead zones in the house, yay!
I can't get into the recovery mode. Been trying the Pin + power button but not working in recovery mode.
Turns out, MS edge didnt show 192.168.0.1 , Chrome worked somehow.
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?
All APs near to each other, meshed or not, should have their own channels. Otherwise they'll interfere with each other when two or more APs are "talking" to different devices, and you'll have poor reception on all devices.
@Russ: The problem is that if they're meshed (ie. no wired backhaul), at least one of the radios will be on the same channel in order for each node to communicate and relay traffic.
With 802.11ax it's a little bit more efficient with how smaller transmits take up airtime, but you'll still see max throughput start to degrade.
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 ??
See @MasterYeeter comment above ☝️:-)
This video helped me setup the mesh network with OpenWRT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVoZppb_FR0
Perfect for OpenWRT, bloody cheap if you're comfortable doing that. Ordered, thanks OP.
Don't expect any future support (they barely updated firmware when these were in-support) if you buy these and plan to use Dlink firmware…
https://www.dlink.com.au/home-solutions/M32-3PK-EAGLE-PRO-AI…
https://support.dlink.com.au/Download/download.aspx?product=…This product is not available for purchase and has been discontinued.
At least using OpenWRT you'll actually get bug fixes. Probably faster than any official updates anyway!
Smart devices around home with 2.4ghz have trouble connecting to Mesh
Mesh is how each AP connects to each other. It won’t affect the clients connecting to the AP.
It does.
Most Mesh names 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands identically and smart (dumb) devices that support 2.4ghz only doesn’t connect to Mesh system.
4ghz and 5ghz bands identically and smart (dumb) devices that support 2.4ghz only doesn’t connect
This is true. But doesn’t have anything to do with mesh. It’s the same with all APs, mesh or otherwise.
Is there have a guarantee? But looks good.
Huh?
ok, i bit the bullet and bought these. My old Tenda Nova MW3 mesh (full Ethernet backhaul, bridge mode) is failing for some reason, flashing green light on all APs drops internet for about a minute a couple of times a day (even though wired Ethernet still has internet).
Sounds like if you run these on wired backhaul they work fine with the latest firmware? Or should I just flash them with OpenWRT anyway?
I've just got a few to toy with using OpenWRT. Does anyone have Decrypted Dlink Firmware versions (or able to decrypt) if I want to revert back to factory firmware?
Thought I'd come back here and share my experience to save others time. My goal with the mesh was to ensure I had 5ghz coverage (and speeds) throughout the house. So the aim is to have backhaul and access points on the 5ghz band. I have never played with OpenWRT before, so was pretty daunted by the all of the different settings.
I followed MarcOneFifties' guide here. The main issue I ran into was trying to setup the mesh and the access point on the same band on the one 5ghz radio in the router. Through trial, error and research, I found that the mesh and access point channel width needed to be set to 80hz each, I also had to use the same channel for the access point and mesh (channel 136). Setting the WiFi to WPA2-PSK for the access points also helped me as I read somewhere that having the access point wifi and mesh on the same radio with WPA3 was a no-no, I also have intel 8260 WiFi chips running on windows which don't like WPA3. My pc gets 500mpbs download when connected via lan to a mesh node, I get 650mps when LAN'd into my WAN node. I pay for 1000mbps, so I should proably talk to Southern Phone about that…
The frustration I had was when setting up the access point wifi interface, its channel and width settings would overide the mesh interface settings and break it. So if anyone has the same aim and issues as me, hopefully channel 136 and a width of 80hz works (for both the mesh and access point). I am pretty sure the total width the 5ghz radio is trying to work with can't exceed 160hz otherwise the router will just drop other connections to support the settings you have just enforced (which can lead to your mesh deactivating). Which leads me to my other tip: when configuring and testing the access points, keep them all close by so you can connect the via lan if you access point settings break the mesh. I used wpad-mesh-openssl as well. I am not sure if having the wifi access point and mesh on the same channel will degrade performance significantly for multiple users, time will tell.
Good summary. in the comments of his video, someone mentioned mesh-openssl wasn't working great, and mesh-wolfssl was a better option. i've tried that and it works so far. I did setup my encryption as WPA3, and that kinda works - we'll see if its stable. The channel matters too apparently - so channel 136 or 140 seemed ok for a few people.
Note: these have bad reviews online and from OzBargainers due to many issues like frequent dropouts when stock
