I keep this router in my basement, because I can easily set it up with my internet from there. When ...
...home and I use the D-Link to connect it to the internet. However, when I check my NAT tpe it turns out to be type 3.

What's even worse is that the D-Link has a special "gaming mode". All it saysis that if I have a game console connected, I should tick off the box ... Read review

At first I was skeptical, not that I could work ... At home my phone is fixed on the ground floor and the pc the first floor.
