[QUOTE="almond, post: 1988819, member: 31509"] After reading this positive review, I went in for this Modem. It was an unmitigated disaster. Somewhere in 2013 they changed the chipset for this modem from Broadcom to Realtek. It drops connection as if it's something Kareena Kapoor will come and pick it up. 2011-2013 this modem had C1 Hardware and Broadcom chipset. That's when everyone hoohaa over it. 2013-Now this modem has U1 Hardware and Realtek chipset. Now this is the worst combo if your line is poor, high SNR etc. The firmware Dlink have released for U1 chipset are all crappy, 1.07, 1.08 for India. 1.09, 1.11 for Mid East (same model, same chipset) 1.07 is stable in ADSL connection but has issues with wifi, it fails to recognize wifi signal for no particular reason. 1.08 1.09 (ME) is stable with wifi but drops ADSL connection frequently 1.11 (ME) ditto and firmware in Dlink India site still shows firmware for C1 hardware which they no longer sell in India. Please stay far clear from this modem. [/QUOTE]
