D-Link AC2300 DSL-3890

Better as a sinker – Bought this due to its specs what a dissapointment. Wont connect to FTTN or FTTB or FTTC, have been back and forth with DLINK who are useless, Optus are useless. Its an expensive paperweight that doesnt work with any Australian services EXCEPT if you want to use it as a router alone OR with ADSL if it was still available waist of money Show details

Couldn't get it to connect to FTTN – Bought from Officeworks to update my ISP issued router (still working but wanted better wifi). First one would not connect or sync. On the phone for 45 minutes with ISP and 37 minutes with Dlink trying to set it up. Determined it may have been DOA. Returned and replaced by another one. Second unit had the same issues as the first. A further 21… Read more

minutes on the phone to Dlink and 51 minutes to ISP running through various setup and ideas. RMA issued. Review left on Officeworks and response from Dlink AU was rather condescending and ignored the issue. Upon reading further reviews this isn't entirely uncommon. I'm sure it works without issue on FTTC or FTTP.

ISP (Aussie Broadband) had 3 service techs, including level 2s, supervisors and router specialists all scratching their heads.

Works as a router, but not a modem – I bought this modem/router to replace my Telstra Gen 2 Smart Modem. I could not get it connected to the internet regardless of what I tried. I contacted Dlink and they gave me a standard response (i.e. explained how to do a default setup, which I had already done a number of times). They have not responded to my follow up questions. I have now… Read more

got it working as a router which means I am still relying on my Telstra modem to provide internet. If I wanted this type of setup I could have saved $100 and bought a router.

Perfect for NBN, hard to configure though – bought to replace belong nbn modem, connect wizard doesnt work, contacted dlink chat support who fixed the issue within a few minutes, range is awesome and no dropouts, well done! Show details

quicker more reliable than the ISP router – Quicker more reliable it might be a bit hard to set up if you don't know what you are doing but once you do you will love it the coverage is amazing it covers the whole house just fine Show details

Junk x 2 – Purchased unit but can't log into the internet - it doesn't recognize it 's own password/s My IT bloke couldn't help. Took it back to Officeworks and got another unit - exact same problem. Refund please. DO NOT BUY THIS !!! Show details

Garbage, expensive good for nothing but a small boat anchor. Wish I read reviews first – Doesn't connect to my provider after 3 hours of trouble shooting painstakingly through the overseas based technical support thats typical with many isp's with no success. Went back to the store to return it after 3 hours of troubleshooting, Wish I had read these reviews before buying I would have saved the round trip plus the 3 hours of stress. I reconnected a free modem I had which worked immediately. I don't recommend this product. Show details

Won't connect with iinet – Disappointed as purchased it to replace the iinet supplied (Technicolor) which can't handle more than 4 devices connected to wifi and it won't connect to iinet. Have to return it after 4 hours with Tech support and a further couple of hours myself trying to troubleshoot it online. It says for NBN on the packaging but its a no. Hopefully I can… Read more

return it as purchased online otherwise the 4 aerials may allow it to double as a boat anchor albeit probably not heavy enough for that.

Very dissapointed – Returning this tomorrow, multiple wifi devices need to be manually reconnected after a few house of non use. Never had a problem previously. Also, unable to use special characters within the wifi password is an absolute joke. Gives you the idea what sort of 'technology company' d-link is. User interface is very limited and terrible to use,… Read more

e.g. refreshing the page takes you back to the login page. Brand has massively gone downhill, look elsewhere.

Disappointed – Quite disappointed, modem was dead on arrival, powered up but wouldn’t connect, even had NBN co come to site as my ISP thought it was an issue with my connection. Couldn’t get the modem to work, super disappointed. Show details
