Summary: Great Value, Simple Set-up
Review: I know next to nothing about computers. The set-up was simple. I had a problem because my Verizon DSL provider uses a WinPoet dialer, but called D-Link tech support, got right through, and the guy walked me through the fix - and with the router, no dialer needed! Installed the 650 cards on 2 Dell laptops, 1 running Windows ME, the other XP; installation of the cards was just automatic. I have great connections & speed, even out in the back yard! I have not had any drop-offs, as others have reported here. I'm a very satisfied customer. I just wish they had the rebate when I bought! The 650 card for the laptops is now cheap as dirt.

Summary: Don't buy this trouble
Review: I bought one of this in Jan. 2003, then the trouble began.
The wireless signal was very unstable and I never got a full 11M connection even the laptop was within 10 feet from router.
The router even dead frequently after I changed the configuration with the browser. I had to fully reset again and again.Then I called their tech. support and updated the firmware for 6 times. It was long waiting for everytime and I was even be dropped off several times after 20 min or more waiting!
At last, they agree it was defect and would replace it. It was already two months passed. It took them another half month to ship the replacement.
I just got it today (April. 17). The new one came with the newest firmware, and lookss better for the wireless part. The signal can be stable around 95% within 10 feet distance. But the configuration is still buggy. I have done reset 5 times within 1 hour, just wanted to enable wireless MAC control. :( So 3 months passed I still can not use this. What can I say. Never want to buy dlink again!

Summary: Great access point
Review: I needed only an access point, but bought the DI-713P because of the price (local store for $... brand new after rebate). I needed to set it up as wireless switch/AP for my wife's laptop. I have the DI-704 (another great product), and did not need another router function. I contacted D-Link tech support (toll free), and was extremely pleased with their prompt help (less than 5 mins. wait time). They told me to change IP address (to 192.168.0.2), disable DHCP, and use LAN to LAN port connection with a X-over cable. And BINGO, it works as a charm. I have no need for its print server function. Even though D-Link has discontinued production of the DI-713P, it is still a great product with many features (router/firewall, wired 10/100 switch, wireless 802.11b, MAC cloning, 64 or 128 encryption, address filtering, print server). My wife's laptop (W98SE) has the DWL-650 wireless PC card (also terrific), and connection between DWL-650 and DI-713P is fabulous in range and signal strength (consistent 90-100%). I have 5 different D-Link products, and have never been disappointed in terms of quality and tech support. Needless to say D-Link is my first choice for networking (Netgear would be second), and NO, I do not work for either.

Summary: Found defective Wi-Fi too late
Review: The wired portion worked fine. Tried to use the Wi-Fi about a year later, and it appeared to be DOA. I have a Linsys USB adaptor, a D-link USB adaptor, and a build-in one in my laptop. The OS ran the gambit of Win98SE, Win2000 and Win XP. None can detect the Wi-Fi signal. Tried the most up-to-date drivers and firmware. Nothing worked. I am treating the antena as an ornament. I didn't think of using the Wi-Fi earlier because my laptops are bulky (8 lbs). Should have bought a wired router/PS with uplink port for a wireless AP. This way, if the wireless portion is bad, I'm not facing an eyesore. The DI-713P doesn't have an uplink port. I noticed that Linksys does not sell such a combo. Maybe they know something.

Summary: Works great but not compatible with newer products
Review: This is a great router / access point.... very easy to configure... and the range is extremely good. Besides you also get the print server functionality, and the ability to add an external modem on the COM 1 port as a backup to your broadband. The only reason for a rating of 3 (and not 5) is that it is not compatible with newer DLINK products like the 900AP+... so if you think you might have to extend your wireless range in future, consider another product.

Summary: bad product and customer support
Review: The first one died, replacement has no working WI-FI and in bad physical shape. Called Customer support and they fianlly told me to go to RMA group. Informed then and they put me on hold for 40 minutes. Could not get back after that. So, I have paid full price + cost to UPS back one piece and have a no-working blok of plastice. I will be asking for money back at this point

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!
Review: ... I'm writing this review for anyone who is considering purchasing the D-Link DI-713P router. DON'T DO IT!!! First of all, it's a piece of junk. Secondly, even if you just have to have a D-Link router and none other, the prices listed for this item are too high, though the security of buying through Amazon.com may be worth the extra money... ...My bad experience with the DI-713P router mirrors the experiences of many other customers who have reviewed this product on this site, which I stupidly failed to read before buying. Basically, my router won't recognize wireless signals, which makes it just a garden-variety wired router, with a print server but with only 3 ports. It cost WAY too much for that. I'm going to try to get some relief from D-Link in the form of a rebate or a switch to a newer model. I'm not going to hold my breath, though. I'll probably wind up buying from another manufacturer.

Summary: Solid product, everything works great except wireless range
Review: Everything works straight out of the box, didn't experience any of the problems other people complained about. ADSL connection, wireless connection, print server, all work great. Only had to reboot it twice over the last 5 month (except for when I changed some settings that requires reboot).
[edit] while writing this review, had to reboot the router for the 3rd time. LOL The only thing I'm unhappy with is the wireless range which is FAR less than the advertised 35-100 meters (indoor). Anywhere between 15-25 meters, the speed dropped to the minimum 1 Mbps. Any further, it's good luck trying to pick up the signal.

Summary: The rebate never arrived
Review: They didn't send me the rebate at all. I received a card telling me that they could not find the UPC number in my envelope.
I had to call them to tell them I did sent it. They took a few weeks until I called again. They ignore me until I got tired of calling them.
