DIR-3060, EXO AC3000 Smart Wi-Fi Gaming Router, Tri-Band, 802.11 AC Wave 2 with MU-MIMO, Gigabit WAN, 4 x Gigabit LAN, Alexa Compatible, Black

Muy fácil de configurar y de instalar, compatible con fibra de movistar

Questo router con quarantamila antenne sembrava promettere bene per la mia casa a due piani, e invece si è rivelato pessimo per la copertura del segnale, a confronto il router fornitomi da Eolo, il fritz 4020, prende molto di più. Come se non bastasse ho avuto problemi con il segnale a 5ghz, ce ne sono due, a volte vanno e a volte no. Volete un consiglio? Scegliete un fritzbox, ho comprato il set mesh 7530 e va da dio, copertura wifi 1000 volte superiore nonostante le antenne integrate, ed è incluso un ripetitore mesh che funziona a meraviglia, mai una disconnessione.

Prior to purchasing the DIR-3060 EXO AC3000, my home setup included a Virginmedia Hub 3 router with 500Mbs fibre broadband, a lot of IOT devices, around 30 devices connecting at any one time. Includes Smart plugs, bulbs, hive, home cinema, multiple Amazon echo devices, security cameras along with smart phones, tablets and desktop devices. I also have 2 TiVo boxes, one in the lounge and another in the main bedroom. The environment is a large detached house with ground and first floor. The Hub 3 is in the lounge (ground floor) on one end and the main bedroom on the 1st floor at the opposite end on the house. The Virginmedia hub was ok but struggled for signal in the master bedroom and the TiVo boxes rarely worked when trying to play a recorded programme from one box to the other. Given the broadband speed of 500Mbs, I had nowhere near those connection speeds in a number of rooms. Connectivity to my IOT devices was ok, never had any dropouts. Due to COVID and working from home, I needed a better signal in my makeshift office (the dining room which is at the opposite end of the house from the lounge (separated by a kitchen and hallway). Prior to buying the DIR-3060, I bought and returned a TP-Link Deco M5 (problems with Amazon 4K TV Firestick, Ring camera and Sonos units connecting) and a Netgear EX8000 Mesh Smart Extender (App would not correctly identify devices and required rebooting daily or every 2 days). It was important that I had a single SSID and could roam throughout the house on my Tablet and Smartphone which ruled out a cheap WiFi extender. The DIR-3060 was delivered on 5th June 2020, setup immediately and I have waited a month or so prior to writing this review to ensure there were no problems with devices disconnecting or unreliable service. The device was delivered with v1.01 firmware. My Hub 3 is now in modem mode and DIR-3060 providing connectivity for all my devices. The bandwidth in the dining room increased from between 2-7Mbs to around 350Mbs which is a significant increase in speed.The firmware has had 2 updates and is now running on v1.11. When I initially setup the device with the default settings on v1.01 I had a problem with 1 Amazon Echo device (I had another 2 identical models which connected without any issues). My Ring camera would drop connections as well. The D-Link support was spot on, I needed to disable WiFi Mesh (I don’t have any extenders anyway) and Smart Connect (which obviously isn’t that smart!). Disabling Smart Connect still allows you to have a single SSID for 2.4GHz and the 2 x 5GHz signals which is what I wanted to have seamless connectivity throughout the house. A good tip for the Ring Camera is to fix the IP address (Reserve IP - this will only work on the main WiFi SSID and not the Guest SSID). I discovered the Ring fix by checking various forums. Also with v1.01 firmware I had problems setting up the D-Link Defend (McAfee Secure Home Platform - includes 5 year subscription), it wouldn’t work. Firmware update solved this for me. This is really useful if you have children and want to control what they can access and when. It can also be used to control access for your iOT devices. There is also a real added bonus in that you can install McAfee Antivirus (2 year subscription) on an unlimited number of computers, tablets and smartphones (I’m still running another AV solution and will change when that when the subscription runs out). A decent amount of time has passed so that I’m confident I can recommend this device if you need to have a decent Wi-Fi signal throughout the house and garden without the need to install Extenders (size and wall thickness permitting). The added security software makes this modern router an absolute bargain. WiFi 6 routers will future proof your network but comes at a premium at the moment and devices with WiFi 6 are few and far between (let’s face it, most iOT devices still only work on 2.4GHz Wireless LANs).

Hatte den Router rund 1 Monat in Nutzung. Er sollte als „Smart Home“ Router dienen, jedoch hatte er für mein Empfinden ein Manko. Der Router schien die Verbindungen der vielen Clients bei nicht längerer Nutzung zu trennen und erst bei Nutzung wieder aufzubauen. Was in der Theorie super klingt zeigte sich in der Praxis als nervig. Sobald Alexa oder eine WLAN Steckdose etwas länger nicht genutzt wurde, brauchte der Router ein paar Sekunden um wieder die Verbindung zu haben, was ziemlich nervte. Alexa leuchtete gefühlt ewig blau, die WLAN Dose schaltete spät, das Licht brauchte auch lange. Mein vorheriger Router hatte dieses Problem nicht. War für meine Zwecke leider ungeeignet. Das ist aber auch das einzige Manko, ansonsten super Performance (immer vollen Empfang), starke Reichweite (auch durch Wände + Etagen), sehr einfaches Menü (vielleicht etwas zu spartanisch, man kann kaum etwas falsch machen, weil man nicht viel machen kann ;)). Denke bis dato der günstigste 3x3 MU-MIMO Tri-Band Router. Preis/Leistung passte jedenfalls.

I've had this a week. My Asus Dark Knight was playing up so took a chance on this: -It has stopped ethernet drop outs on my laptop -It has increased wifi speed on smartphone (80Mbs before, 150Mbs now) -It has increased wifi coverage by about 10m -It was easier to set up than I thought it would be. Scan code on app, go through guide and it's all done in 6 or 7 minutes. I'd say that after initial set up - to go through the web interface on browser to change any settings as the android app seemed to rebot the router twice when I hadn't asked it to. The only minus is that external harddrives attached to it via USB have a limit of 2 TB size, which means my 5TB HDD can't connect to it, but that's minorflaw.
