Hands-on Review: D-Link DPN-BE7212GR BE7200 10G Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Router
Overall, the D-Link DPN-BE7212GR looks considerably more convincing when judged by what it can actually do rather than by the numbers printed on its packaging. The 4Gbps Hyperfibre results provide useful evidence that it can handle serious bandwidth, while real-world Wi-Fi performance demonstrates that Wi-Fi 7 can provide worthwhile gains over conventional wireless networking.

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.
The DSL-X1852E is an all-in-one Modem Router with VLAN tagging and enjoys AX1800 Speeds with up to 1200Mbps on its 5GHz band, and 574Mbps on its 2.4GHz band. It also uses WPA3 128-bit encryption.
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 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.
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…
