My previous router was a netgear without any wireless capabilites. It also wouldn't recognize my xbox 360 on the network and would lose internet access consistently. This is the reason I decided to shell out a few bucks on the DIR-655. Design: A nice looking glossy white, it reminds me of most... Read the full review →

D-Link is by far making the best consumer routers on the market today, I can have Bittorent, Games, VOIP, Slacker, and anything else all running at the same time. I tried the Apple and Linksys first but they could not handle the QOS. They both had great radios and both 2.4ghz and 5ghz simultaneously... Read the full review →

This router has a lot of features. The issue I have with it is that the router isn't really great at delivering anything in particular. I do like the QoS features, however they are over shadowed by the fact that even an old Linksys WRT router has better coverage. In order to remove $ from your... Read the full review →

D-Link has made a stable router that works around the clock. Best performance when you turn security of and lock all computer to the mac address instead. The menu system is a bit messy as usual when it comes to D-Link. It's hard to find some functions in menu systems and you have to think a bit... Read the full review →

I got this router as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago and have really enjoyed it. The QoS engine has let other network users go nuts on the PCs in the house, without detracting from my Xbox Live experience. It took a little tweaking, but in the end it did make a difference with gaming and... Read the full review →

Really pretty simple -- I've owned a lot of different brands and models of routers in my day, and each and every one of them used to require me to reboot it at some degree of frequency, some better than others of course. I've only had to reboot this one 4 times in over a year. It might be... Read the full review →

I was looking for a device to handle my wired items (Dish Receiver, XBox 360) and wireless items (Macbook, Wii, and guests). All this needed to be online with a cable modem. Pretty simple. I like to limit clutter and effort. I didn't like the price of Apple's Airport Extreme though it... Read the full review →

I've had this router for some time now. The hardware seems to be a-ok, but the firmware does not work so well. Even though upgrading the firmware several times there are still problems with the implementation of the DHCP-client. It does not seem to work well with HP ProCurve switches that have...

I wish i knew how to use all of the settings and features this router comes equipped with but I'm not very schooled in the art of networking. I just wanted a good reliable wireless router that I could hook up to my PC and use with the laptops i work on at the house. I have a 2000+ sq ft split... Read the full review →

DIR-655 has run like a dream during the two plus years I've owned it. The setup was quite easy. Devices were seen quickly and even has utilized the usb port, for use of an external hard drive. Read the full review →

It is not the wonder router I thought it was going to be. The online reviews made it sound like the second-coming of routers - my expectations were not met. Read the full review →

Easy to setup wireless-B/G/N/Mixed-mode for the less technically inclined, but powerful features under the hood for those who like to tinker. Great features include port forwarding, custom routing, parental controls, packet shaping/ QOS, guest network, and much more. The downside to this router is... Read the full review →

Very happy with this wireless router. One thing to note about connected USB external hard drive is you need a D-Link program running in windows on each networked computer to access the hard drive and only one computer can access at a time. Read the full review →

I have been using this router for over a year with no problems i have never need to reset it for an issue with the DNS or actually anything to do with the router itself. If you are the kind of person who wants to get their hand dirty and play with advance settings you can or just breeze across the... Read the full review →

Looks good. Clean, simple. The range and reliability have been problems for me. I've had great experiences with Dlink so I hate to say there may be better boxes out there. Read the full review →

I've only had this router for 4-5 months and I've been having lots of issues with internet disconnects. I've just turned off the QOS options because I've read that this can cause the disconnect issues. I'll try a few more things to improve stability but from what I'm reading, I'm not alone. I'm...
