D-Link Gigabit VPN Router | Perfect for Remote and Hybrid Work | 4 Port Gigabit Dual WAN Failover | Enterprise-Grade Encryption | TAA/NDAA-Compliant | Limited Lifetime Protection (DSR-250V2)

Home grade router decided to stop working after 5 years, so I finally decided to buy business quality router. Best purchase I have ever made. Ordered, delivered 2 days later. Was shocked when I could not power on, but turned out it was power supply - DOA. Had another one and router came up. After configuration all is working great and stable. Send message to D-link and new power supply is on the way. Perfect customer support.

Bought to add a second WAN connection for my WFH setup. Router connects to both WANs fine, but connection between WANs and LAN was extremely poor. IT appears to be in internal DHCP server issue of some sort. Regardless of settings DNS information was not always being successfully passed to the LAN and sometimes LAN clients would not receive IP addresses. Very disappointing.

This is one router that can really protect your network from the outside hackers... I highly recommend this unit. Will help keep the Bad Actors out of your computer!

I just wanted to set up an OPEN VPN to my office server. Dlink tech support was apathetic. Could not get it to connect no matter what I tried. Also it would fail every time I tried to update firmware. If your reading this and just want a basic vpn connection for your office go for the Flint2 (GL-MT6000) . Its practically click and go. Its also cheaper (at the time of this review) and it comes w/ wifi.

The router works well. Configured it in just a couple of minutes. I was very happy with it until I connected a couple Yealink IP Phones to it. The Yealink phones would not obtain an IP address from the DHCP from the router. I verified VLAN settings, switch settings, I even went as far to try to do an IP reservation via MAC address. It was then that I found the problem. It's not my Yealink IP phones but rather the D-Link router would not recognize the Yealink MAC address as valid. I know Yealink is a relatively newer manufacturer, but not that new. If the D-Link router will not recognize the MAC address as valid, DHCP will not assign an IP address.In case you're wondering, yes I tried statically assigning IP address to one phone to see if would work. But after autoprovisioning it with our VoIP provider, it would lose it's IP address. Besides, who wants to statically assign IP address on a bunch of phones.So in summary, I either have a defective D-Link router or they need to update their firmware and OS to recognize Yealink IP phones. Are there other MAC addresses it doesn't recognize? That's not a bet I want to take so I returned it. The replacement TP-Link router assigned IP addresses to the Yealink phones with no issues.

First be sure to update firmware! mine came with an almost unusable version I am embarrassed to admit that I spent 2 evenings trying to set this up before checking and installing updates my thinking was to get the basics setup before allow connecting to the Outside world.I love the way the LAN clients DHCP settings all of the fields can be sorted this sort is missing for the Port forwarding settings.Current firmware version 1.02.B008I cannot find anyway to change the default Management GUI IP address from the default of 192.168.10.1 If I change the LAN interface from the default IP you can no longer access the Management GUI from the LANLimit of 15 port forwarding items and even the inactive ones count towards this total allows you to add just not save 16 and beyond.Can not enable NAT hairpin, loopback or reflection makes this router worthless for my use example I have a server that is a local computer inside the NAT firewall lets say it has a service listing on port 1234 I “port forward to the WAN port 4568 there is no problem accessing the service outside the network however I can not access it inside LAN on port 4568 using the WAN address. All other routers I have used have a feature that loopback the call as if it came from the WAN side if using the WAN address.

Performance is adequate but not as specified. Speed test indicates 700ish Mbps, my Apple Extreme records 900+ Mbps. Documentation and actual settings using Web GUI (particularly "Port Configuration") bear no resemblance to each other, cannot find settings to specify specific DNS server. Cannot find settings to enable IPV6. Support through email is essentially useless, messages go unanswered.Overall an undistinguished offering.

the firmware is junk. there is a hotfix for the reboot issue but it didn't stop the issue. router randomly reboots often.
