Mixed5/10Budget

D-Link is a budget option that works for small homes, but its security history is a concern: it has declined to patch critical flaws in end-of-life devices, telling owners to replace them. Replace any old D-Link router that no longer gets updates.

Good at

Cheap routers and mesh kits for basic needs
Simple app setup on EAGLE PRO AI and AQUILA PRO AI
Widely stocked, including by some ISPs

Weak at

Poor security track record on older models
End-of-life devices left unpatched against critical flaws
Performance trails TP-Link at similar prices
