  • At first, they were friendly, but after a while, started to get rude..

    I'm really not in the mood to type about it, as it would take too long. What I will do is go out and buy a NON DLink router tomorrow.

  • Totally unhelpful. Refused to accept the problem was their's blaming Microsoft, Motherboard, you name it. Changed their story everytime they were contacted. Finally got through to supervisor who was just plain rude. To top it all they have an absolute NO REFUND policy.
    So after 2 weeks of chasing them and following all sorts of lame ideas to fix it now am stuck with a product that does not work and they refuse to take it back.

  • I can only chime in. The person was extremely rude, and inpatient. When I asked for his name, he hung up on me!

    I will NEVER buy another Dlink product for the rest of my life. I will also spend the rest of my like sharing my experience.

  • I phoned your customer service in Canada because I forgot my password and after a wait of about ten minutes I was connected to a service representative and spent about ten minutes on the phone with a representative who could not communicate with me, he finally terminated the call by hanging up. I found this highly offensive. What can I do to correct this?

  • never EVER buy from this company
    THE MOST unhelpful customer service pricks I have ever attempted to speak to.

  • D-Link is no help. My D Link is no longer made and they read me a note saying that they can not help me.
    Their supervisor advised me that they do not have technicians on staff. They were in Ontario.
    0 out of 10 in my books. DO NOT CALL THEM!!!!!!!!

  • There is no way that the positive comments are from actual customers! Read them, they are vague BS! I'm guessing that management had employees post them.

    I have had one out of 8 phones go bad in our office. Not really a big deal, just send me a new one and I'll send the old one back. Under warenty, why should this be at my expense? So I tried to speak with somebody about this. Place #1 gave me the case number, said they could not expedite the RMA and transfered me to a place #2, after about 20 minutes of waiting, they said they couldn't take care of it, transfered me to place #3 (they gave me phone numbers for each). Place #3 said they could not take care of my concerns and tried to send me back to place #2. I explained why this was not an option and asked for a manager. After 6-7 minutes of waiting for a manager, I got 5 seconds before he hung up on me!

    No wonder other countrys think Americans are jerks, they treat us like garbage with their crap products and even worse customer service. By the time you get to speak with sombody (well over an hour in this case) you are already very, very upset.

    I'm done D-Link, last time I will purchase your junk. 7 out of 8 phones were decent, but your customer service will make sure you don't have a return customer.

    D-Link = Total Garbage 12/18/09 3:13PM

  • After much time on the phone given a return number. The order was to be shipped in a cross shipment manner. They did not send the replacement when they were suppose to and now everything is a mess. Told over and over it would be shipped. Still has not shipped. After many attemps and time to find out why, still no answer. Just put on hold and they never return then the call is disconnected. Would never buy from again.

  • I bought two Dlink DWA-542 network interface cards at Best Buy just a few months ago. One works sort of, but the other was never fully functional. It had intermittent connection to the router and finally quit. I tried to install the newer drivers, but the operation repeatedly terminated. Called tech support twice and was hung up on both times.

    disgusted with them 12/1/09 4:07PM

  • Having trouble with my computer maintaining an internet connection and having a disgustingly slow internet when it is connected, i contacted D-Link tech support to get help to find the problem. I have a DI 604 Router running 3 computers and the other two computers are fine. All 3 computers have Dlink network cards so dlink has seen enough of my money to spare a few minutes to walk me through the diagnosis. Sadly i was told that because my product no longer has warranty she can't help me. I asked her if this was a tech support line or a warranty claims line? she just repeated that I was out of luck. I've dealt with numerous companies for computer support on out of warranty products and they go above and beyond to help me. This company wouldnt even give me the time of day. enjoy my money Dlink, it'll be the last you see of it. I 2nd other posters that recommmended Lynksis and others over this company. Lynksis is one of the aforementioned companies that helped me even though my product was way out of warranty.

  • D-Link Customer Service and Support is a waste of time.
    I have spent hours on the phone and computer communicating with their various levels of "expertise", (connecting, disconnecting, changing ip addresses,etc.)I would then be passed on to another expert or just hung up on.
    The next "time waster", was blaming the ISP provider. A call to them quickly established , by elimination, that the D-Link was not working, but D-Link would not believe that, so more disconnecting, reconnecting etc. at each level. At last, after weeks of this, I was given a "case" number to give priority and elevate my case to the "very highest" level of knowledge!! Contacting him was another lengthly process of interrogation, and the same steps of verifying ip addresses etc began again.
    In the meantime, with no resolve from D-Link, my husband just disconnected the faulty router and connected one computer directly to the ISP. At this point, about 6 weeks later, I have internet service on one computer, but not on both.
    So,I now know I need a new router. You can bet your bottom dollar that it will NOT be a D-Link!)

    Why and how could it take 6 weeks to establish such a simple conclusion?

    BECAUSE D-LINK HAS VERY POOR SUPPORT AND NO CUSTOMER SERVICE!

  • D-link's customer support is almost as bad as their products. Do not buy them, go with Linksys routers. I bought a DIR-615 router and it is terrible. I have spent close to 2 HOURS on the phone (3 different calls) and one email trying to sort out an Entry Level (or BASIC, as it reads on their box) router. Terrible support, long waiting, they told me to call back once because a qualified technician wasn't available at the time... their support says 24/7 and this was on a Sunday Afternoon.

    D-LINK tech support is the worst I have ever dealt with, this is not an exageration. I came on this page just to comment on my experience.

  • I simply wanted to buy a replacement power supply for my D-Link router noting too technically difficult.

    After 4 phone calls to a premium rate number I'm eventually told to fill in an on-line RMA request.

    4 tries at this and I give up - site does not accept the serial number of the router which is clearly printed on the back of the product.

    Anyway Google to the rescue:
    I found a UK company offering a wide range of D-Link replacement power supplies.

    Link:
    http://www.digidave.co.uk/jshop/

    I hope this helps other D-Link customers of which I won't be ever again.

    D-Link your customer service is appalling.

  • Hello,
    Location - Malaysia
    It is difficult to get them most of the time. They would tell you this is the front desk and they would ask someone to call you back within 24hrs. It is not always the case. One day they called me back at 10:40 p.m.
    Out of 7 calls , I received 3 calls back. Issues were not solved and the technical people did not have good knowledge of the product. They gave me the wrong information.

    There support is supposed to be 24/7 .

    In our company we have been using Dlink exclusively. As the decision maker, I have to find more reliable support.
    Dlink was well-known for its life time warranty which is almost no longer applicable.

    Too bad.

  • Terrible customer service is the only rating I would give D-Link. I am having an issue returning my router for an RMA because D-Link requires proof of purchase. And since I bought this router December of last year, I lost the receipt. I asked nicely to speak to a manager when I called in to see if there was any way to resolve this issue. The representative was very stubborn and rude, not willing to give me the chance to escalate the call to a manager. Eventually, I hung up.

    I am usually a very nice and calm customer when calling support lines. I have dozens of friends who work for call centers and I hear the stories about angry customers day after day. I don’t want to disrupt someone’s day by being difficult. In this case, I felt like I was the harassed representative. Quite an odd experience.

    If a customer wants to talk to a manager, you let them. If I was at a restaurant and wanted to speak to the manager, by God that manager would come a runnin. Should be no different in this case, or any for that matter.

  • Do not buy D-Link products! Dependability and technical support for their product is the poorest that I have ever experienced. Setup for my D-Link router took about eight hours with tech support. I was so frustrated with the hassle that when the router just stopped working that I just unplugged it. Now that I have tried to resolve the problem, I find that it is no longer covered and my charge would be more than the purchase price! Never again!!!!!

    weaseldawg 9/12/09 11:00AM

  • Yes, please do not buy a D-Link product. There is no excuse for the inability to communicate that the "tech service" gives. I've tried for 3 days to get help with setting up my wireless camera and it's like talking to someone that does not have kindergarten level communication. I was yelled at and hung up on several times. They would never answer my questions. I even got AT&T customer service on the line to help (AT&T service is great by the way) and they were not able to get a response from the person on the other line. They just ignored his questions completely.

    attbiz 9/11/09 6:47AM

  • After 6 hrs of frustration trying to get the router to work, last night I contacted DLINK support when the newly purchased wireless router would not recognize our brand new laptop. I have never been made to feel like such an idiot as after talking to one of their tech representatives. Who employs people this poorly versed in Client Service. His was rude, impatient, he spoke poor english, and he never apologized once for his poor behavior. He had to nerve to hang up on me when afer forty-five minutes of being insulted, I asked to speak with his supervisor. Worse, he called me back and acted as if nothing had happened and he acted as if he was doing me a favor calling me back to further waste my time. Tonight, I will take back the router to Staples.

  • If you are an owner of a D-link product with hardware/firmware problems that are still unresolved despite all your efforts to have them resolve them or if you have recently upgraded your firmware only to have your router become useless or not perform as advertised. Immediately follow the instructions below and wait for more details on a website that is being developed now to assist you with these problems.

    In the meantime...you need to do the following immediately.

    1). File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org (this will get an immediate response from Dlink and replacement of your router - at least for now)

    2). File a complaint with the California Department of Consumer Affairs at http://www.dca.ca.gov/online_services/complaints/consumer_complaint.shtml

    3). File a complaint with YOUR state's consumer affairs.

    4.) File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en

    5.) File a complaint with Rippoffreport.com at http://www.ripoffreport.com/login.asp

    You may use the complaint text for each one (that way it saves you loads of time). Also save your paperwork and all emails, conversations, phone records...everything! Do NOT dispose of, sell, trade or otherwise let the hardware go as this may become valuable evidence for authorities.

    Your warranty status does NOT matter. Facts are if the firmware update that D-Link provided caused the damage they are liable to fix and/or repair the damage in a reasonable period of time. Almost 3 months is not reasonable.

    More on the self help website will be announced shortly. In the meantime you need to immediately file the complaints above and SAVE EVERYTHING!

    You can also find additional help at www.ispgeeks.com

  • the dlink customer service number sucks cause all u get is a stupid recording and no matter what number you push you dont get to talk to a real person...dlink really needs to get some people to take the calls of the people that buy there systems and need help to open ports.and i wondered why everyone told me to dont buy a dlink router...

  • D-Link "support" of any kind is a misnomer. Just spent over 90 minutes on the phone (yes, I must be nuts), concerning a failed switch. After being disconnected once, and passed to 3 "supervisors", I got 2 RMA authorizations. Neither one was valid, and I was, again, asked to return to telephone wonderland. We use a lot of D-Link products in our company, and I used to think this was a pretty good outfit. No more. I was a happy camper; now I'm a hostile camper. Caveat emptor.

  • 1. I contacted your 1300 278 788 this morning for assistance in fixing a problem with my lap-top not talking to my D-Dlnk wireless router. I was to receive 2 files this afternoon and nothing has turned up.

    2. I am by no means impressed with your staff's attitude towards customer service, in particular 'Ben' who spoke to me this morning. I was irritable this morning with the lack of customer service and I'm still irritable now.

    Thank you in anticipation.

    We have called you twice and both times you were extremely helpful, fast, polite and resolved my problem. He was clear with the instructions, no accent to speak of and very willing to talk it all through, he knew his stuff.
    Congratulations on a job well done, I'm happy.

  • I had the best experience with the D-link support in Nordics. (Finland)
    Phones were answered with in few rings. Technical knowledge of the staff was very good. They pinpointed the problem efficiently to the service provider. And released a beta-firmware to my router so I could access internet with it while awaiting for the official firmware.

    They have responded to every email with in few hours.
