D-Link G530 5G NR AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Router

Installed as a failover, this 5G router loses and resets its connection several times a day without explanation (the network is excellent in the area and the router is correctly exposed). The connection comes back after several minutes, the IP changes.

It’s hard for me to find the demographic to recommend the D-Link G530 5G NR AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Router. For one, its built-in 5G support could have been an excellent feature if the router itself were more compact or had the options to show off its cellular capabilities, such as a built-in battery, outdoor ruggedness, or a couple of TS9 RF ports to host external antennas. Additionally, with the physical design that resembles a standard router, yet only two network ports, this entry-level Wi-Fi machine also lacks the minimum requirement to be a standalone home router. Finally, the suggested retail price of $390 is just way too high for what it has to offer. But if you live in a small place with excellent 5G coverage and no other way to go online, this router will serve you well. Pop a nano SIM in, and you’re good to go. Give it a try!
