Hands-on Review – D-Link AQUILA PRO AI AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Smart Mesh System – M30 Single Node
Overall, this system is still an excellent upgrade for anyone on a regular internet connection. It’s brilliant for taking over the WiFi from your default modem/router, and in the process enhancing your network to WiFi 6 speeds.
Overall… Despite its slightly dated software interface, the D-Link Aquila Pro AI M30 remains a top choice for users prioritizing simplicity and reliability in their mesh network setup.
AQUILA PRO AI M30 systems are designed to enable you to effortlessly set up your Wi-Fi network and manage it with the intuitive AQUILA PRO AI App.
Overall, this is a great upgrade to the Eagle Pro AI system, any mesh network in fact, and I look forward to seeing more devices arriving with AX3200 or higher capabilities to expand and enhance the Mesh system further.
Overall, this unit is a bit of a godsend for the average home user who may not be up to speed with the current state of tech, but still need to use it. Possibly the best home-network upgrade you will make this decade.
Overall, my only wish regarding this unit – and it is a wish, not a critique – is that it would be a bit smaller and the aerials were more integrated. It’s not a lot of fun to carry in a full backpack if you happen to put it near the back of the bag. I ended up repurposing an old padded camera bag to act as the portable home for this device, and that works very well for me indeed.
Overall, this is a good kit for those who have a small apartment or unit and want to ensure the WiFi reaches into both the bedroom and bathroom so that they are always able to check their instasocialbook at a moment’s notice. For larger dwellings, a larger kit would be better suited – aim for something with at least 4000ax on the box.
Overall, this is the first real USB WiFi-6 network adaptor, and it’s very good, but I can bet you it won’t be the last. I fully expect to see D-Link release a new model within the next year or so, probably with a smaller form or something extra added in.
The series – which includes a router, a 2-piece and 3-piece mesh network plus a stand-alone range extender, combines intuitive Wi-Fi 6 and mesh technology with powerful AI to deliver expanded and continuously-optimised connectivity to homes and small offices.
Overall, this is a great router to consider if you want, or need, to upgrade your home network with something that has some level of future-proofing in it. The only slight drawback for me was the lack of a USB port on this unit…
