Dbit N300 Easy Setup Wireless Wi-Fi Router Smart Home Internet Router – 2 x High Power Antennas, Supports Access Point, WISP, Up to 300Mbps (T1 Pro)

I am a long way from being a tecchi guy but if you have a couple of hours I could regale you with tales of the number of hours I have spent trying to get my router to connect to the Internet and then to my computers. Trust me: I have a very low threshhold for this sort of pain! About two and a half months ago my beloved and VERY expensive router just decided to die. I tried everything but one morning it was just no longer working. I called it my “beloved router” because this was the first one that had worked seamlessly for me for four years and then, there it was: just so much black plastic trash. So since it had been so good, I bought another one. Now, here comes the Dbit AC122 Gigabit Dual Band Wi-fi router and I had to give it a try. I was impressed. I connected it and it seemed almost instantly with no coaxing it just grabbed the Internet and the rest of the set up was easy-peasy and I was off and running. Best of all for only $30 bucks? Wow!

I don’t have the expertise to detail the signal strength or the speeds uploading or downloading and compare it to the other router I have, but from my observation, it was more than adequate for anything I might need to do, like write Amazon reviews and upload them from my desk. At the very least, this is a great router to keep handy for when my VERY expensive router decides it is time to ride off into the sunset. And I gotta tell you it is VERY refreshing to see some part of this Internet connectivity equipment in WHITE instead of the black that you cannot see clearly without lighting the strength of the sun!

The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because there are only four ports on the router instead of five which seems more common, at least on the more expensive, “traditional” brands. Otherwise from my use, I recommend this router as a great value in basic connectivity at a great price.

It would not even allow me to enter the factory password on the label. I tried a total of 9 times doing a factory reset after each try. The interface is awful when you are trying to use it. It does not fully display on your phone even though that is the way they encourage you to use it. Both the documentation and the app are written so poorly they are difficult to understand. I tried both 2.4 and 5 ghz sides so I really did give this a fair shake. Shouldn’t be allowed to be sold on Amazon. Huge waste of my time. Some of that is my fault, I just looked at the star rating and not the reviews. Someone gave it a 5 star rating which made it look a lot better than it was. That user was a Vine person who got it free, so maybe they didn’t even try it.

I went 3 stars since I haven’t used it yet. But a techie in my bldg thinks it’s gonna be good for me @ my level, so honestly I haven’t set it up yet. But, when I do I’ll give it my best YADAYADAYADA! Cool?

Good receiver. Easy set up and control
