D-link DIR-615 / A is a popular budget Wi-Fi router from D-link company. A competitor to such popular routers as TP-LINK TL-WR741ND, ZyXEL Keenetic Start, etc. In fact, D-link DIR-615 / A is a router that is perfect for a small house or apartment. Frankly speaking, if you have a large three-room apartment, then I would not recommend buying this router. It cannot boast of a wide range of Wi-Fi network coverage. But for a small two-room or one-room apartment, this is an excellent, inexpensive router that is definitely worth the money.
D-link DIR-615 / A collects just a huge number of reviews in online stores and on various sites. And this suggests that the model is really popular and is being bought. The reviews are mostly positive, and if they complain, then, as I wrote above, about a bad signal. Among the advantages of the router, it is worth noting an interesting case, low price, simple setup and stable operation. If you are looking for a router that will distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi and cable (if necessary) to several devices, then the D-link DIR-615 is an excellent option.

D-link DIR-615 / A reviews
As I already wrote, the reviews on the Internet are mostly positive. Yes, someone may have gotten a marriage, someone does not know how to configure it correctly, or the problem is generally in the provider, or the computer. Different things happen. Of the main disadvantages, this is a weak signal, which can disappear completely through two walls. The main thing here is to choose the correct location of the router in the house. Which is very often a problem due to the cable of the Internet provider, which is most likely already laid in a certain room.
The router looks good, I would even say stylish. Half of the front panel is glossy, and the other half is made of brushed metal. There is a WPS button, and power on / off. It is possible to hang the D-link DIR-615 on the wall. Moreover, this opportunity is well thought out, the cables are laid from below.
Included with the router you will find a power adapter, a network cable (by the way, for some reason it is very short) and instructions in Russian.
