WiFi 6 AX3600 Router (DL-WRX36), Dual Band, 8-Stream, Wireless Speed Up to 3.6Gbps, MU-MIMO, 2.5G WAN & 4 Gigabit LAN Ports, for Home & Gaming (1 Pack)

Great wireless router for the money! Keep up the great work. I did flash this with OpenWRT immediately. I don’t know if their firmware is good or nor. With a little configuration, this is an extremely fast OpenWRT router that is mesh compatible. It does not do WDS mode, but mesh works great even if it takes a bit more time to setup. 2.5gb ports are a huge plus.

Un excelente router a buen precio y compatible al 100% con OpenWrt.

This review is for ASIN=B096K9SVCT Title=WiFi 6 AX3600 Router (DL-WRX36), Dual Band, 8-Stream , Wireless Speed Up to 3.6Gbps, MU-MIMO, 2.5G WAN & 4 Gigabit LAN Ports, for Home & Gaming (1 Pack).===========A. Hardware===========Hardware capabilities that interested me:1. Dual-band Wifi 6 (802.11ax) router with 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz bands. No 6Ghz band; but it is not expected at this price.2. Broadcast power is up to 1000mW on non-DFS channels.3. CPU is Quad-core Qualcomm IPQ8072A at 2200 MHz (2.2 GHz).4. Memory is 1024 MB.5. Disk is 256MB NAND flash.6. WAN is 2500 Mbps (2.5 Gbps).7. LAN is 1000 Mbps (1.0 Gbps).8. WLAN is 4x4 MIMO at 80MHz. Also capable of 2x2 MIMO at 160MHz; this usually performs worse and depends on the Wifi density in your area.9. Dynalink hardware is shared with Askey RT5010W. Askey is owned by ASUSTeK (yes, that ASUS). From my understanding Dynalink is a branding manufactured by a subsidiary of ASUSTeK.10. Has internal heat-sink and sufficient ventilation, does not overheat, does not require a fan. Adding a fan lets the router run very cool -- below 45C measured with thermal probe.===========B. Firmware===========The stock firmware is OK (not great). See other reviews for more information on the stock firmware.I switched firmware to OpenWRT and all features that I require are working as expected. "Band-Steering" does not always work, but I do not use this feature. It is better to define multiple vlans and connect Wifi 4 (N) devices to the 2.4GHz band and Wifi 6 (AX) devices to the 5GHz band. Broadcast power and range finding is good; no drop-outs that I can trace.===========C. Pricing===========The hardware package and OpenWRT compatibility is excellent for this price range. Price usually stays between $80, $64, $60 per unit.===========Summary:===========Router is capable of reaching 1.0 Gbps on downstream and 1.0 Gbps on upstream. That's no surprise, it is a 2.2GHz Quad-core. Good OpenWRT firmware compatibility. Good pricing.

Good range and speed*, setup was a bit weird**. Openwrt can be installed.*Always remember that these new routers come with 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz and that 5Ghz is faster (how fast will depend on your device's supported wifi version and the number of antennas it has). Also remember that walls limit 2.4 Ghz networks less than 5 Ghz, but on the other hand 5 Ghz suffer less from having a bunch of networks nearby.**I'm used to just wiring the router to my computer to access the network interface directly, but in this case the router wouldn't give the computer an internal ip until the router was connected to a modem. The first time the login page loaded there was a pop-up in chinese, though after clicking the only button present the interface switched to English.The router lets you disable the front led if you want (the leds from ethernet cables, at the back, can't be disabled as far as I know). There's a phone app and apparently google assistant support, but I tried neither of these.Openwrt can be installed here, I went with the snapshot version, and it's been working fine for me but it requires to ssh into the router (can't directly install it from the webui like some older tp-link routers), you can find a step-by-step guide in the openwrt wiki if you want to check how hard it is. It requires some elbow grease but perfectly doable for the technically inclined.By installing openwrt you lose the led control and easy access to assistant control. There are apparently ways to hook openwrt to Home Assistant, but I haven't tried it, so I don't know how hard it is or how well it works.

Bought it for OpenWRT support. I wrote a guide for it that is much better than the garbage they originally had. Anyone following my guide should be able to flash this thing with OpenWRT firmware no problem now. Assuming you have all the tools needed that it.
