Key FeaturesMy only real complaint here would have to be the PSU. On the plus side you have removable clips for UK/Europe/US plug types, which is always handy and economic for travellers, BUT the length of the PSU cable is comically short. Arriving at a little under 1 metre, this PSU is rather counterintuitive for a SIM router. SIM routers are always at their best when they are deployed high up in an office/house, as the more layers of ceiling/roof/floors above the SIM router, the lesser the effectiveness of your cellular data connection. But 1-metre connection from the nearest mains power point is going to make this REALLY hard and even ISP routers arrive with 1.8-3M PSU cables. It’s a really odd choice by D-Link on this. It’s a small gripe, but one I think alot of users will notice early in the tweaking/movement in the system’s deployment to get the best signal.

The design of the software is very clear and uses a family side menu and breadcrumb breakdown style. It’s just a little dated and I know that D-Link has done it much better (Such as the D-Link EXO AX5400 towards the end of 2021 HERE). Disruptions can happen at any time, but D-Link has built the DWR-978 router to eliminate them altogether with D-Link Failover technology.

Cut down on dead spots and loading times The chassis itself has a tonne of ventilation all the way around the device whilst in operation and most of it is stylishly hidden or built into the overall design. Indeed the rear panel is completely ventilation in a mesh design and each of the four corners on the front panel feature additional passive cooling vents. The router is completely silent when in operation and there is no internal active cooling (fan etc), so these vents are going to be paramount in busy periods of use.The DWR-978 is the complete solution for those hard-to-read areas where fixed-line ISPs (Internet Service Providers_ are unreliable or unavailable.

If you are looking at a router like the D-Link DWR-978, then chances are that the main appeal is the fact that it is a mobile/cellular data router. The rise in popularity of mobile SIM routers in the last few years has been pretty astounding and part of that is to do with the availability, improved affordability and increased coverage of 5G worldwide. Although the option to USB tether of WiFi Hotspot’ a mobile phone has always been an option, the loss of bandwidth in this connection has been quite noticeable between the phone and the connected client device, as the phone is also business doing many other things and also needs the internet too – therefore the appeal of a full-featured and better antenna equipped router that runs on a SIM card for it’s data is significantly more appealing. Mobile SIM routers have a tendency to arrive in two very distinct forms. One is the mobile router type, battery-powered, that is more often or not found at airports for business visitors and/or for students needing internet access on the go and the other is a full-featured prosumer router like the one found in homes and businesses alongside broadband internet plans – only it can run from an internal SIM slot. The D-Link DWA-978 5G SIM router falls very much in that second category – providing all the features and services of a modern premium router, but with support of one of the more active internet connections (WAN and SIM slot).
