D-Link DWR-M961 4G LTE Router
Over the last month, for 3 weeks out the month we’ve either had slow or no internet connection, thanks to some clown who decided they would like to cut the Telkom cables on our road. Luckily D-Link came to my rescue because they sent me one of their 4G LTE Routers.
The DLink 4G LTE router is DLinks competitor to the mainly Huawei dominated 4G LTE market.
List key product features

The router retails for around R2 500.
The DLink website has most e-retailers as well as physical retailers where you can purchase the router.
