Summary: good product but drops valid high value traffic
Review: I had connected this router to two of my PC's (WinME and WinXP). It was acting with no problems in the ME PC, but on the XP PC, where I had downloaded using Emule and Imesh, it drops connections due to what the logs of the router call SYN Flood. I didn't see any way of telling it to ignore many connections/sec peaks, so I had to disconnect the XP PC from the router for the time being.

Summary: impressed with this little box
Review: very impressed with the features of this box for a "budget" router. dropped right in and started working in my network right away. has a lot of configuration options, which is good. but the esoteric options are are hard to use and there is essentially no documentation for them so that could be a little better. if you have simple requirements this is a great router.

Summary: my rebate taken away
Review: Although the router is good, I have rated it * because they have declined my "mail in rebate". I had purchased and applied within the stipulated dates. Inspite of this dlink have declined, why? I do not know. I am sorry to hear that. Very bad.

Summary: Works great out of the box!
Review: I needed a router to use XBOX Live while my wife surfed the web. The D-Link DI-604 does the job right out of the box. My PC is running Windows XP, all I had to do was plug it in and play.

Summary: Seemingly easy to use, FAILS
Review: I bought the D-link DI-604 just because it was [less]than a comparable Linsys DSL router. I always knew that Linksys is the better network equipment maker. The router was extremely easy to set up. It truely was. I have never set up a router in my life but these things usually come easy for me. The thing about the router that I absolutely hate is where you plug in cables. The cables do not stay put. You constantly have to plug them back in. I have multiple brands of cables and none of them stay in. The router was not even moved. I'm wondering if the router just loses the link to the cable and not lose the cable physically. And another thing, the router constantly disconnects from the DSL modem and does not reconnect to it. I have to restart the router 5 times per day. Sometimes, it has nothing to do with the modem. It seems that the router is incompetent. Not recommended. Steve

Summary: Great Router, it worked as promised
Review: After installing the D-Link 604, my network was up and running in minutes. It could not have been easier and everything worked perfectly. A great router at an incredible price.

Summary: Great Value
Review: Performed well beyond expectations. I'm a first time home networker, with some computer background and this router could not have been simpler to use. I use this router to share an Earthlink Cable connection and have been satisfied with the results. I have checked my network protection of several online sites that test for weaknesses in my firewall and such and have gotten very positive results. I enabled the built-in firewall in Windows XP just to add another layer of protection. I have had 2 incidents where the router didn't give my computer a new IP address after the previous one expired. I just had to restart the router to solve the problem. This hasn't happened in a week or so.

Summary: Be sure to reset to factory settings
Review: I bought this router so I could restrict internet access from my kids computers during certain periods of time (like after 9:00 PM) Even after upgrading to the latest firmware it will not hold the system time. What they needed to tell you is after upgrading you need to perform the "Reset to factory settings" routine. After doing that it has held perfect time. Over all it is a great little router/switch and can't be beat for the money. I would give it 5 stars if they would have better firmware updating instructions.

Summary: Great Little Router
Review: I bought an older version of this router (it only looks different than the new ones) and it works great. I am fairly new to home networking and wanted to share my cable internet connection between my two computers.
I had this router hooked up and working in less than 10 minutes. That was about 2 months ago and I have not had one problem with it since. It is easy to configure and works great with my cable modem. There appears to be no slowing of the internet as I cannot even tell when my kids are on the other computer.
I would highly recommend this router to anyone who is looking for one. The price is reasonable and it works like a dream.

Summary: Excellent product and cheap
Review: I share a DSL connection with my two computers (Win ME or Knoppix and Win 98), and works great in all cases. I also share files and printers, so what else can you ask for the price ?? For the sharing, check the FAQs in the web site. The WinME wizard didn't work for me .... Buy it even if you have just one PC, the firewall is worth the price.
