D-Link G530 5G NR AX3000 WiFi 6 Router with SIM Card Slot, Cellular Gateway, Optimized High-Gain Antennas, Dual-WAN Failover, AT&T and T-Mobile Certified

I am an IT professional with both military and civilian experience who recently retired. I purchased this 5G gateway for travel in my Class B camper van and as a backup for home internet. I had difficulty using the included SIM card as it never fully connected to the 5G cellular service. I sent email to support and they responded in a day that I needed a firmware upgrade. I was sent the link, upgraded the gateway, and then it worked as expected. The mobile app works on my Pixel 8 Pro, the text is small but usable. In central Florida I used the gateway to get 5G service, previously I had 4G LTE service only from my Pixel hotspot. My primary cellular service is via the T-Mobile network from Google. Thus, I am a very satisfied owner of this D-Link 5G gateway and the support for it.

I replaced a frustrating Netgear router several years ago with my first D-Link router and I've never looked back. This is my third router and I have yet to be disappointed. Setup through the app is a breeze and the settings are not overly techy nor overwhelming. I've been using it fine with the factory default parameters with zero issues. Quality product and I highly recommend.

Running great after a couple years. Replaced my ISPs router. Wifi is more solid and hardline with a gigabit switch is fantastic. No down throttling at all and has been stable. No issues to report.

I got this for a friend whose router needed to be replaced. I have owned D-Link routers before and was quite happy with them. My friend is not a technical person so I wanted to make sure what I got them was just make sure everything is plugged in and it should work. I don't want to spend time on the phone trying to help them troubleshoot issues. Before trying to plug it in to the modem I turned it on and plugged it in to my laptop so I could configure it. That part was reasonable easy but I found their GUI cumbersome and maybe even missing some things. I did not spend a lot of time playing around trying to find stuff I didnt really need to so I just left well enough alone. I shut it down and brought it to their router. I used the cable that came with the router to plug in to the modem. After turning everything on the router was not able to connect to the internet (not getting an IP). I did some troubleshooting and still couldn't get it to work. I even contacted D-Link support and this is what they suggested:Turn it off and on again.Set the DNS servers to Googles (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)Clone the MAC address from my laptopand set it to try and use IPv6None of those things worked so I put the old one back in place and am returning this POS. I am not happy at all with the product itself, the GUI/features and the support from D-Link. I will most likely get a ASUS or something else along those lines.Oh, and one of the things I tried to do was update the firmware. I went to their support page for the router and saw 2 firmware updates beyond where my router was. I downloaded them both and tried to update it using the latest one (was also marked as a hotfix but was about the same size as the other). The update failed, not giving any reason. I then tried the next one and that failed too, no explanation. It turns out they are not for that router, even though they were on the downloads page for that router. I did connect the new router to the old so I could let the router connect to the internet and try to update the firmware itself (yes, it was able to connect to the internet using the old router and I plugged it in to the Internet port on the d-link). When I tried to update the firmware that way it say it was using the latest version already.

I live in Los Angeles and purchased this product right before the fires hit in January 2025. As a router, it is certainly high performing and a great product. But the benefit for us was using it when internet was going down due to its ability to slot in a 5G card and using cellular internet instead of our at home broadband. The connection was fast and it was a great way to keep us up and running during a time of crisis. Whether it was to get work done or watch some shows while the world burned, we appreciated having the functionality the router provided. It's awesome and probably more than I need in our home but I'm glad I have it.

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.
