 Does everything I wanted Aug 05, 2008
This is my first experience with a wireless router, and it does everything I wanted it to. I can access the internet on my laptop from the other side of my house, and my son has his XBox 360 connected to it (also from the other side of the house), and there's no interference between the gaming system and the computer. Very nice!
Great, reliable product with all the features you'd want Aug 04, 2008
I bought the DIR-655 on an advice from a friend and was not disappointed one bit. It's been over a month since I got it and I've had no issues with it whatsoever.
Configuration process was easy. Advanced features are easy to access and can allow for some great modifications. Data transfer performance is good. Wireless range is great, I get reception everywhere in the house and backyard (unit is in upstairs office on opposite side of house).
Great buy you will not regret.
Very Satifistied much better than Linksys Aug 04, 2008
I have using this product for past 2 months and extremely happy. Very easy setup procedure. I have used Linksys 802.11G router in past, it used to work fine but there were lot of dropped connection and i have reboot my router every 6-7 days. I wondered it may be natural until i bought this one. And believe me this has been amazing experience. Never once my Skype Phone (CIT400) has dropped connection. I still have wireless G which appears to perform at least 1.5 times faster than earlier router. I am thinking to buying 802.11N (draft) adapter to realize full potential of this router. It is highly recommended to buy this one.
Cons:
Lot of lights on this router which sometimes annoys.
BEST HIGH-TECH WI-FI ROUTER FOR YOUR MONEY Aug 02, 2008
OK Folks,
first-off, let me say that I have never owned a wi-fi router before. And recently I purchased my wifey-poo a top-o-dee-line laptop - so a wi-fi router was gonna be added to our computer gadgets.
Being the computer geek that I am, I went to a few different "techie places" to see what was the hottest think out on the market in regards to wi-fi routers. And "Lo and Behold...this one kept on popping up.
During this searching process, I learned that the "N" series of wi-fi routers are the newest craze in technology. (Beating out the "B" and "G" series routers in power/distance, download speeds, and technology).
Anyhoo, to make a long story short, we purchased the router and could not be happier. I have it set-up in my office, which is where the main PC is located. The office also happens to be situated right in between the bedrooms and the living-room and kitchen areas.
It has perfect reception everywhere in our house. Everywhere we go, the signal strength is "maxed out".
Now let me be quite frank here. I also have a high end Cisco firewall router. And because of that, and never having owned a wi-fi router before...the installation kinda through me for a loop. I think it took me a little longer than normal to hook it up, and it's working fine. But when I have a little free time, I will need to recheck everything to make sure it is set-up correctly - with all the passwords and security defenses in place.
Like I said before...so far I am very happy with it.
Pricewise, Amazon.com has it the cheapest. And Amazon.com is also a reputable seller, so I'd go with them if you want to mail order it at a great price. Ourselves...we found it on sale at Circuit City $99.00. It was a few dollars more, but we had it in our hands immediately.
Bottom line, I would recommend this router. In it's specs, it beats every other router out in the market for speed of download, power, and distance.
Very stable router, good aesthetic design Aug 01, 2008
A few months ago, I had been looking for a stable router that can decently broadcast a wifi signal in a 2-story building with the router being on the second floor and the computers on the first floor (with numerous walls in between). Prior to this router, I tried using the stable Linksys WRT54G router coupled with a few WRE54G range extenders however the range extenders proved to be too difficult to install and maintain (frequent rebooting). Next, I tried a Linksys SRX400 Mimo-G router which was a little better although the signal was still too weak on the first floor (~30% signal).
Finally, with this D-Link N router, I'm able to maintain about 60-65% signal and about 36 Mbps. The computers on the first floor all use the D-Link USB 2.0 802.11n Adapter USB adapter. Although the signal isn't as strong as I'd like it to be, the router is VERY stable (hasn't needed a reboot and hasn't crashed in the 5 months that it's been installed). Surfing/downloading/uploading has been smooth.
Installing this router was fairly easy. If you have prior experience with setting up routers, this D-Link should be a breeze. The only downside I can find for this router is that whenever the router requires a reboot (after a change in settings), the reboot may take a little longer than other models (up to 1 minute sometimes).
To improve the wireless signal, I found that utilizing a D-Link 7700AP access point will increase the signal to about 75%. Using a Hawking HSB2 Hawking HiGain Signal Booster version 2 - HSB2 increases the signal to about 85-90%. Further adding a TRENDnet 14 dBi Outdoor High Gain Directional Antenna brings our wireless signal to 100% (although the Trendnet antenna must be placed carefully for optimal coverage). While our day-to-day usage doesn't really necessitate a 100% signal (75% seems to be sufficient), it's good to know that this router can be enhanced with third-party antennas and boosters if it is necessary (and still remain stable).
