Question 1

Does this router support an Access Point Mode? I need an access point now, but in the future, after I move, I will need to use it as a router.

Accepted Answer

Yes there is a specific option in settings to setup as an access point only.

Question 2

Is the DIR-842 selling on this web having the function of MU-MIMO? I cant see this device supporting MU-MIMO from the D-link web.

Accepted Answer

I have not used this function, but this device works great

Question 3

Hello guys, i've purchased this product (elsewhere) a few months ago and it worked just fine. A couple of weeks ago my speed started to get significantly slow, or more correctly locked to 100mbps (My ISP's connection on my contract is for 1000Mbs or Gigabit connection). The problem is with this router, I have it connected to  another Gigabit router which acts as the main router connected to the fiberlink modem which also works just fine, so I've entered the admin panel and on the advanced Network settings page, where you select the Wan port speed, it's set on Auto. The 1000mbps option has disappeared. I have only 10 and 100mbps options to select. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

All that I can think of is if pushing the reset button, or unplugging the power cord for a while doesn't help maybe try re-installing, or updating the firmware.

Question 4

Why is there no warranty information in the description?

Accepted Answer

The warranty information is in the warranty and returns tab. It has a 1 year manufacturer warranty.

Question 5

Would this AP support a Linksys range extender?

Accepted Answer

Probably best to contact Linksys, and/or D-Link to verify.
