Verdict

The D-Link DIR-505L is a compact Wireless N150 travel router and mobile companion featuring a single 10/100 Ethernet WAN/LAN port, a USB 2.0 port for file sharing via SharePort Mobile, and a convenient wall-plug design. It operates in multiple modes, including Router/Access Point, Repeater, and Wi-Fi Hotspot, and supports internal omni-directional antennas with 64MB of RAM. Its main pros include extreme portability, the ability to charge mobile devices via USB, and simple setup through the QRS Mobile app or WPS. However, its primary cons are limited wireless speeds of up to 150 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band only, a lack of modern Wi-Fi 5/6 standards, and having only one physical Ethernet port.
