Don't buy D-Link routers

August 21, 2026 • Lysander Mealy

Recently, for no particular reason, I decided I would try to find bugs in the latest firmware for a D-Link DIR-1260 router. It’s a fairly recent AC1200 router, marketed towards home users. Though it’s considered EOS by D-Link, you can still buy one new on Amazon. (That’s not an affiliate link, I swear; I very much don’t want you to buy one.)
