Reviews around tech support (5.00 of 5)

  • However, it appears that they are no longer actually documenting products, and when you can't figure out what their idiotic UI engineers have created, you must PAY for tech support
  • The D-Link tech support folks are awesome and their programming crew regularly provides updates to keep the security of the product top flight.
  • The $14 device I was replacing with this purchase is more up to date with technical standards, has better tech support, and is more stable
