5 of 5 Can't beat for th price 8/23/2010
A customer from Georgai
Easy to use and setup. I use Linux and was able to configure it through Firefox. My wife claims that her Win XP laptop surfs quicker than the old router. My only objection is that it doe not appear to be any support for dd-wrt, or Openwrt, or Tomato

5 of 5 Works great; a total steal at that price 8/14/2010
Steven from Salt Lake City, UT
Router arrived on time, set up was a complete breeze using Dlink setup disc, and the router works perfectly.
I cant speak to the precise specs that gamers or hard core users might need, but I am using it for general internet surfing/itune movie downloading/music streaming and it works perfectly. Speeds have tested very well with N devices.
Wireless signal seems strong; I use my laptop outside on the patio with the router a few walls away and signals are still strong outside.
I recommend this router without hesitation

3.3 of 5 What happened to D-Link? 2/27/2010
Dan from Columbus, Ohio
I am a computer technician and have used D-Link products for the past several years. I always chose D-Link products for my home and recommended them to customers for their reliability and ease of use. I wanted to increase my wireless speed so I chose this router because of the faster "N" protocol.It was easy to set up as with all D-Link products, but from there on it went down hill.
The speed of my network fluctuated constantly, both wireless and wired. Most of the time it stayed at a painful crawl, worse than dial up. I spent many hours tweaking every setting on this device but was never able to get it to even out or run at an acceptable speed. I finally gave up and re-installed my old router, a D-Link Di-504. Immediately my network was back to normal and fast as usual.
I may have gotten a bad one, but I have spoken with other techs in the IT field and all have experienced problems with the newest D-Link products. D-Link was unable to offer any help other than to return the router and try another one.I may, but for now this offers a challenge, so I will keep it for the time being. If you buy this and have the same problems please post a review. I am curious to see if anyone else has had problems.
