AX3000 5G NR Cellular Gateway WiFi 6 Router, Optimized High-Gain Antennas, Dual-WAN Failover, Parental Controls, AT&T Certified (G530)

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.

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.

I have extensive experience with networking and devices so I might be more critical than the average user. It took 3 tries to setup the device with the phone app crashing and and a long unnecessary process. The app/firmware are lacking: -Need to control the notifications for different events, how they are sent, and at what intervals. -Need more control over the failover and return to the main network. -Need to see advanced features remotely when not on the same network. Clicked on the Support link on their website and it's a dead link. Tried to complete the Contact Us form and when you submit that doesn't work too. If I can't get some hope for a firmware and app update I'll be sending this back.

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.

First, following the instructions result in security concern from Safari. Second the screens do not follow the D Link instructions. The on screen steps all say to have a wired connection to the router but not the instructions. I ignored them and things worked. I missed it, but looks like this device only provided a 5 G connection. My security cams are 2.4G I'll have to use a converter. Seems quite fast wiht AT&T service.
