This isn’t snark, but I didn’t think DLink was really a player anymore. Did they pivot? It used to be (like 20 years ago) they were like the #3 consumer brand after Linksys and Netgear. Now, it seems like the players are Eero, ASUS, Netgear, Linksys, TP-Link, Google. I haven’t even seen a DLink product in a store (online or not) or in the wild, in a decade.
Edit: checked their site: apparently they are still in the game, I guess just nobody buys them
- Melatonic 2y agoI remember them always being the cheap budget option - assuming that's still the case
- xp84 2y ago100% agree, I only dealt with them at somebody else’s house when they had cheaped out. Only thing I liked about them is that they had “emulators” on their website which would let you see a dummy version of the UI of any router, which was invaluable for someone doing informal remote IT since you could walk someone through configuring it by knowing exactly what the config pages looked like. Useful especially since remote screen sharing was tougher 15 years ago.
