D-Link DI-604 4-Port Cable/DSL Router

Summary: Just plain works!
Review: Recently I purchased a BEFSR41 EtherFast Cable/DSL Router from Linksys... what a piece of trash that turned out to be! After hours of frustration I returned it at bought a D-Link 604. Within 15 minutes I had a fully operational firewall that worked with my DSL cable modem from the get-go. This router costs about half the price of the Linksys junk and works!

Summary: Excellent Router!
Review: I just purchased this router earlier this week and received it on Thursday of this week. Setup was fairly simple and only took about 15 minutes total. The speed of this router is definitely better than the last one I had and is abosolutely stable. I could not ask for more. I would highly reccomend this router to anyone!

Summary: 15 minutes from box to internet !!!
Review: We bought the D-link DI-604 hoping it would work well for us -- some other reviewers stated concerns that had us worried.

The DI-604 was delivered just 2 days after we ordered it using Super Saver Shipping. We followed the instructions exactly and had it up and operating in just 15 minutes. The only complication we ran into was to change a network setting on our iMac DV from PPPoE which we used with our DSL modem to DHCP. This change allows your network to use DHCP but the router uses PPPoE when connecting with the DSL system. It actually makes the entire system perform much faster!!!

Now we are stringing cables to 2 other rooms to connect 2 more computers and our XBOX to the router. If all of the installation keps going so well this will be a very easy project indeed, (...)

Summary: The Perfect Little Secure Router
Review: This router has turned out to be free after rebates, and it has enabled my Internet connection to not only be secure, but to be shared between multiple PCs in my house. I know this is a simple device, and rather common these days, but I can't get over how reliable and easy to use this router is. I am by far no computer wizard let alone a network guru so this may not be good for the hardcore crowd. But I am an average consumer with enough knowledge to know that my Internet connection isn't secure with just a cable modem and a PC.

Overall I am impressed to say the least and I applaud D-Link for their inexpensive, yet reliable and secure router. Thank You.
