Title: First Impressions
Post by: davevt31 on August 17, 2021, 06:16:44 PM
Seems like a nice little router.  More on the Entry level side. 
QOS speed test doesn't seem to be as fast as my X5460 on wired system doing the test.
IPv6 not picking up address from cable modem, settings are exactly the same as other router which gets v6 address no problem.  (This happened to other routers early on release and was fixed with firmware update)

Will keep playing.

Wondering if the slower speeds are due to router using Google for a lot of things in the background.

After using for a day, I have checked the speedtest in the QOS engine and it keeps getting slower.  Not sure if there is an issue in it but every time I test it drops in both download and upload speeds.

Definitely something wrong with the speed test on the QOS page.  It routinely shows half the download speed on the test page compared to when I do the test on a webpage at speedtest.net.  Not sure what servers it is checking against when doing it on the QOS menu page.  Also overall downloads speeds are much less that my X5460.  The image in my signature is the X5460, I get a regular ~200 down with the R15 when using the speedtest.net site or speedtest windows app. On the QOS menu page download is around 100.

I will pass this along to the router group. Thanks for the info

Are you connecting the R15 directly to your modem?

Is the speedtest from Ethernet connection or WiFI?

Direct connection to modem, testing with wired computer.

Also, is there an actual file for the new firmware?  I went to the ftp site but they only have the QIGs.  Would like to do manually install of it to see if it makes any difference.

And also, its not picking up a IPv6 address at all, tried different settings.  Always listed as disconnected.

I requested the firmware file/release notes. It is not in the global database yet.

In the Web UI, go to Intenet >IPv6. Set it to "auto-detection" and see if that works.   

I just tested it and I am not getting an IPv6 address either. I reported it.

Some of the covr routers had the IPv6 issue early on too.

Did a Shields Up test at grc.com.  Common ports all show as stealth, but the R15 responded to Ping request, so not totally stealth.

Yes ICMP is NOT disabled and there is no way to turn it off. I have reported the issue and waiting for a response.

I reported the same regarding ICMP (and inability to block using the FW)

Got word ICMP issue will be fixed with the next firmware upgrade. Still waiting for ETA.

@davevt31  Any luck with IPv6? My unit at home is no longer pulling an IPv6 address (spectrum cable)?

A ticket was created for it so hopefully will hear back in a day or 2.

The engineers are not having any issues with IPv6 on their side so It may be isolated issue with Spectrum for some reason. D-Link will keep working on it to see what is happening.

The Covr's did that too early on, pretty sure they fixed it but I haven't used them in a long time.

This entry level is far worser than other entry level ax routers in this segment. Less wifi coverage in 5Ghz band, frequent wifi disconnections and prompts to enter password whenever it disconnects

Have you updated the firmware to 1.04.04?
