D-LinkEagle Pro Ai WiFi 6 Smart Internet Router (AX3200) - Optimized for Gaming & Streaming, Compatible with Alexa and Google, AX3200 (R32)

I have a smart home with around 70 wireless devices (smart switches, plugs, cameras, speakers, etc). I had a D-Link AC2200 mesh system with two extenders which worked reasonably well but after I purchased a couple of new wireless cameras for the outside front and back of my home, the older system wasn't able to provide a strong enough signal for these new high resolution cameras so I decided it was time to upgrade to the latest AX (Wi-Fi 6) technology. I initially purchased the D-Link R32 router but It would not work with my outdoor cameras on it's own so I had to purchase two M32's to use as extenders. I have a small 2400 sq. ft. home and yet I needed two extenders for my signal to reach the outside of my home. Initially, this seemed to do the trick as these new cameras were now connected. But soon after I got all of this set up and running, the constant dropping of the Wi-Fi signals started. I'm not talking about an occasional glitch, I'm talking about constant dropped signals several times an hour! These drops kept knocking out some of my devices such as my various cameras and smart speakers where I had to keep rebooting them to reconnect as they wouldn't always automatically reconnect after the constant signal losses. I also had to constantly reboot the router. Sometimes, when I would reboot the router, the network light would stay lit orange as the router couldn't communicate with my modem (modem was working just fine each time). I would be on my iPhone and the wi-fi signal strength would show as very strong and then all of a sudden, my phone would freeze and then switch over to my 5G data network. How can it show a strong signal and then poof, out it goes? This mesh system states that it can handle up to 120 wireless devices and my home has no where near that many. Maybe this system will work just fine for people with just a handful of wireless devices but definitely not a home like mine. Suffice to say, I will be returning my R32 and the two M32's as they are complete garbage. P.S. I also have a few wired ethernet devices and they always continued to work just fine even during the wireless drop outs.

I couldnt find what I wanted in the white colour. So I settled on this one and I'm glad I did. I am creating a Smart Home and this unit was very easy to add. Looks great too!

took maybe an hour from time I oped the box till router was in charge of my house, still got to go in and change it to make it like I want it. I would buy this one again.

Great seller! Nothing wrong with that. But, the lower rate is due to performance. It was recommended by the WiFi tech from Smartiara. However, the smart TVs every other day ask for “Internet Connection”…so I have to go over the Set up phase once again. The WiFi provider says “Everything working fine in our end”. The router is like 9 feet away from the TV in the living room. So…no one knows…but I suffer it.

You will need a Modem to make this work. You cannot just plug the DSL cable from the phone company directly. This needs an independent modem. So mine is not operable yet.
