Review: Strong Signal and Fast Speeds on a High Floor - Last month I purchased the D-Link AX3000 5G Cellular Gateway for my small business because our office building management company charges too much and the connection wasn't stable. I initially had concerns about signal strength because we are on the 10th floor; however, the AX300 has become an essential networking device. We tested two SIMs from different wireless carriers and both provided strong 5g connections. We haven't experienced any lag or bandwidth issues when multiple employees are simultaneously dialed into video-teleconferences. We also configured the VPN for after hours remote access to our LAN. So far I've only used it in our office but if we all go on a business trip together, then I may take the cellular gateway on the road with us. Overall, the D-Link AX3000's versatility, performance, and reliability have exceeded my expectations, which made it a perfect cellular device choice to meet our video-teleconferencing, remote server access, and other connectivity needs.
Review: Buy it for openWRT - it's great. - The router is great if flashed with openWRT firmware, which provides virtually endless control and customization. But it comes with a learning curve. Don't buy if planning on using all stock. It's out of support with no security updates by the manufacturer.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it work with PS4 in dorm room ?**
A: Yes, it will. As long as you have incoming Ethernet you can just connect that to the WAN port.

**Q: Does this comes with all the cords required?**
A: Yes

**Q: Is this compatible to work with verizon fios 200 mbps plan?**
A: It will more than handle that plan on 2.4. On 5 GHz it will hardly know your using it. Routers are very sensitive to power spikes and surges. I suggest to everyone to use a battery backup to smooth out the power. A surge strip isn't enough. Never run on a generator unless it's a pure sine wave.

**Q: can I used it as a repeater?**
A: It depends. Amazon is losing two different devices under one heading. The DIR-1260 can't NOT be set up as a repeater. I'm very disappointed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Did not work with T-moble 5G Home Internet...
*by L***S on January 2, 2025*

I read a comment from another use that stated they had no issue with T-mobile but was wondering if they were actually on a business plan. From discussions with the T-moble tech support, the answer I got was this device, or rather the sim card issued for their equipment, would not work in this device, and did not with the numerous attempts on my own, including manipulating the APN settings with tech provided info. The business plan Definity will allow for this device to operate but I do not have a business account to verify. I will say that the interface does offer a lot of options for security controls and operations. I was just disappointed that T-mobile does not allow the same options for home users. I would recommend the product for T-mobile small-business users based on the stated data increases and security options.
