Summary: Drops wireless connection once per minute
Review: I bought this to use with my Apple iBook, with internal Airport Extreme card. The iBook works well with all wireless networks I've encountered.

Until the DWL-G730AP. The connection drops approximately once per minute, with the drop lasting about 3 seconds each time. That may not seem like much, but any TCP packet that gets sent during this interval will be lost, resulting in a delay that can last up to two minutes. After a while this becomes extremely aggravating.

I have spent hours on the phone with D-Link tech support but they know nothing about Macs and just endlessly walk me through the same simple busywork (try different channels, try different speeds, move the computer around the room, verify that there are no cordless phones and other wireless networks, etc.).

If you have a Mac, I would recommend that you avoid this router. I don't know whether it has the same problems with Windows machines.
