"A sweet thing"

Was a wee bit tricky to set up, but after I installed the lastest firmware it sorted all issues I had

I was a bit hesitant to buy this device based on previous experience of another portable router made by Netgear. This device was advertised by D-Link as having a firmware update to accommodate 3G/4G compatibility and a list of the compatible modems that can be used on this device.

If this one ever wears out i will definitly buy another one.

Love it! comes with great features and the internal battery has come in handy more than a few times! It's really light and great for travel.
