Summary: Not compatible with your Toshiba Cable modem
Review: I have already tried two D-Link DI-624 routers. Why? The first one, tech support said it was defective. The second one, they could not provide any help after going through all the troubleshooting steps. Actually, both had same issue. If you use COX cable, don't waste your time, go ahead to get Linksys Wireless G. Cox supports Linksys only (and Linksys is from Cisco).

Summary: Still disappointed....
Review: I had the first generation Dlink DI614+ which worked nicely except for the reboot/lost connection problem whenever there's heavy traffic when I run more than one P2P programs, upgraded to the 624 router and the DWL-G650 PC card, same problem, also the WPA-PSK feature is flaky and when you have this security turned on and you lose connection due to heavy traffic it's a b*tch to get the DWL-G650 to talk to the router again, I essentially had to go back to the old driver (for the DWL-g650) on the CD (2.36 I think) and use WEP instead of WAP-PSK

If you don;t do any heavy P2P downloading this router should be fine for surfing and light P2P downloading

I hope they will fix the firmware soon other than that the router has nice features and easy enough to configure (for me at least and I work in the IT industry)

Summary: Disappointed with D-Link
Review: The product may perform up to your expectations but I only hope you never have to interact with D-Link's support organization. After dealing with conflicting, contradictory and completely erroneous information from their support organization, I have come to the conclusion that I don't care to do business with D-Link again.

I hope that if you do by a D-Link product it works flawlessly (which mine did not), and you never have to call their tech support organization.

Good luck.

Summary: DI-624 AND DWL-650
Review: I DID FOLLOW ALL THE RECOMENDATION BASE ON THEIR WEBPAGE IN HOW TO INSTALL THE SYSTEM. THE EQUIPMENT IS GOOD. HOWEVER THE SIGNAL OF THE EQUIPMENT IS VERY WEAK. I DID CONTACT THEIR TECH SUPPORT, BUT THE SITUATION WAS WORSE. BETWEEN 5 TO 7 FEET FROM THE BASE, I DID HAVE VERY GOOD SINAL, ONES A WAS MORE THAN 10 FEET FROM THE BASE SIGNAL WAS GOING LOW OR VERY LOW. I DID HAVE COMPAQ BEFORE AND THEIR SIGNAL WAS BETTER BUT THEIR EQUIPEMENT WAS BAD. TRY TO LOOK OTHER EQUIPMENT I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS ONE.

Summary: Early version works great
Review: I have been using the early version (hardware "B1") of this product since March of last year, without a single issue. I kept the original firmware (1.1), because I used to work for these people and I know that change isn't always a good thing.

I still haven't upgraded my wireless adapter to "G", using a dwl-120 usb adapter that is 802.11b and works just fine all the way across the house. The encryption works like a charm, even with 802.11b. I'll get a "G" adapter one of these days, but I just don't see the need at this time.

The constant "rebooting" problem people are having is probably a result of this new "firmware upgrade". Honestly, there isn't much of a difference between D-link's products and Linksys's. I do prefer the features of the D-link overall and D-links reliability has improved. I would harp on D-link's tech support about this "rebooting" issue until they make a fix.

Summary: great router
Review: I finally upgraded from an older dlink router. The difference was incredible. I was online in 5 minutes without any setup required at all.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ******** CONSTANT REBOOT PROBLEMS!!!!! ****************
Review: I do NOT recommend this router. It appears that Amazon has a bad batch of routers. I went through two units only to realize the problem was systemic. I would get constant reboot errors causing all wired and wireless devices to lose connectivity. I upgraded the firmware and still no avail. Do a search on google for yourself and you'll see that many people are experiencing the same issue. I recommend that you save yourself some headaches and go with Linksys or Netgear.

Summary: Great router
Review: My internet speed was slowing down to almost dialup speeds. I decided to purchase the D-Link DI-624. I upgraded from a netgear product (WGR614). I was experiencing, low range, weak signal and continous reboots of the router. This router is just fantastic. Set up was easy and my problems have disapeard.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, could be better
Review: Good points: Easy to setup, works right out of box, good range on wireless

Bad points: It will randomly reboot, dropping all wired and wireless connections. I have ver C2 with firmware 2.42 and the problem persists.

Until they fix this problem, I cannot recommend this product.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Stay Away!
Review: I have this router and just bought the Linksys WRT54G to replace it. BEFORE you buy the D-Link 624 go to DSLREPORTS and read the D-Link Forum section. As for all the trouble, I thought it was me. I get constant disconnects (rebooting router) I can't get my PocketPC with a Socket WLAN card to connect and my configure screens won't paint correctly. This router is a TURKEY. Those that got it to work are LUCKY! I'm on firmware 2.42, which is current as I write this. I originally bought the 624 (at Costco) because my 614+ fritzed out. Why did I even waste my time. I learned about the DSLREPORTS forum by accident, didn't know of it before I purchased. The 624 is going back.

COMMENT: To the person who didn't find this review helpful, what would you have liked me to say? I hope you enjoy your new DI-624!
