Summary: errrrr. sick!
Review: I used to be such a big D-Link fan, but they quickly lost a loyal customer in the last 2 months. The DI-614+ is [so weak]. I keep getting packet loss on the wired LAN side, Windows XP would complain for a brief moment that the network connection is offline, and of course the matching LED on the router would go off too. Wireless part is even worse. Packet loss, random reboot loop, you name it, it does... This is my last D-Link product.

Summary: Worthless-buy something else; ANYTHING ELSE
Review: I bought a D-Link 614+ access point to network two rooms together that are about 15 feet apart (both the access point and computer were placed on the closest possible walls) and I absolutely could not get a reliable network connection. Any large downloads would crash it; the Symantec security scan crashed it every time I tried; running any level of WEP crashes it within minutes. In short, this is the absolute worst piece of computer hardware I have ever purchased, including certain things that didn't work at all. At least those I knew didn't work, so I didn't need to worry about half-operation like with this vile piece of garbage.

Summary: Buggy
Review: Has worked OK for my home network but with the
following problems:- was crashing 3-4 times a day due to a circuit overheat. My friend replaced a heat sink with a larger one. Now it seems
to crash about once a day. This makes it useless for attaching my Vonage telephone. - won't use dynamic DHCP assignment from my cable provider. Static assignment has worked OK and I have yet to try updating the firmware.

Summary: Buggy, buggy, buggy and useless tech support
Review: I bought a DI-614+ last week and spent three days thinking I was some kind of idiot because I could not get it to work with my Dell 600M Centrino notebook wireless interface. The 614+ worked very well with wired Ethernet connections, but whenever my notebook connected, the 614+ would go into a loop rebooting itself every minute or so. I have DSL service. Once the 614+ got into this loop, it would NEVER get a PPPoE connection, even if I shut down my notebook. Major PITA -- I would have to power down the DSL modem, power it up, then restart the 614+. I downloaded the latest 614+ firmware. If anything, that made the problem worse. After days of tweaking configurations and trying things, I finally gave up and called their "live" tech support. I waited for an hour before I actually got a live person (thank goodness I have a speakerphone). The first thing he told me was to NOT use 128-bit WEP, that the 614+ could not handle it. He said that the packets were too large and overflowed an internal buffer. So, I tried 64-bit WEP. Same problem. He then told me to disable WEP. With WEP totally disabled, I was able to connect the wireless notebook. As if I could stomach having my LAN up without WEP, I soon discovered that the 614+ STILL had other problems. If I tried to download a large file (over 100kb), the 614+ would again go into the reboot loop. Also, just trying to bring up the 614+ configuration "Status" page on my notebook would crash the 614+. I finally solved the problem. I went out yesterday and bought a Linksys BEFW11S4. I plugged it in and instantly everything worked perfectly. The 614+ is being returned. Does D-Link actually test their stuff before production? I don't think so.

Summary: Hard install PCMCIA card intermitent
Review: I use it with a DWL-650+ PC Card adapter in my laptop. Inital setup went so, so. The laptop could connect to the internet, but not see only the networked computers, but not there content. Spent tooo many hours trying to get it to work. Then the PCMCIA card would not be seen by Win 2K and want to be reinstalled, and failed. After five months, the DHCP server died. So I will not be purchasing D-link in the future...

Summary: Good Price but doesn't work
Review: I got one [with a] rebate which is [a lot less] than a regular router. Setup is realatively smooth and it seemed work pretty well with the D-Link 650+ card (I wanted to keep it in the family). The routers wireless freezes every few hours and the router must be power cycled. This is with firmware 2.10 wich is relatively recent. I have since exchanged it with a linksys BEFW11S4 which is much more stable, has better range and works fine with the 650+ card.

Summary: No complaints for the price....
Review: This router works fine in my apartment. I have two laptops hooked up with the DWL 650+ card. The range is not bad, but signals will weaken through walls, floors, etc. Wireless phones, microwaves, and home alarm system motion sensors can mess with your transmission also. If you have problems, you should see if your cable modem is the cause. I wasn't satisfied with the 614+ until I returned my service provider's Motorola modem and bought my own Toshiba cable modem. It's been smooth and speedy ever since. When I upgrade, I'll stick with D-Link.

Summary: Great product
Review: I have used truemobile 1150, dlink 520+ and
IBM thinkpad internal 802.11b wireless deivce with this router.
It was setup and connected with ease. Plus, this router is not expensive.

Summary: Solid Performer and Better Throughput, than the rest
Review: This router has been the only router that I've gone through within the past 3 months to actually stay connected online and keep it's wireless portion up and running for more than 4 days. In fact it hasn't rebooted, froze, or errored out in 2 weeks. I've only had it for 2 weeks so i see no faults in it. Also my wireless speeds have increased as well. I even went out and bought a DWL-650+ so my wireless speeds would be even faster. I didn't know 802.11b could go this fast.

Summary: Nice product but buggy and incompetant support people
Review: This router seemed to have everything for very little money. Well, if it is too good to be true, it probably is. The setup was nice and smooth. However, everything past that had problems. First, it kept dropping my wireless connections. I called support and they told me to restart it. It kept doing it. I called back and waited on hold for them to tell me to change a bunch of funky settings (MTU, channel, etc.). Why should that be necessary for basic operation? Well, I did it and it helped. Next, I found that it was intermittently dropping packets, maybe 5% of the time. After waiting on hold for 40 minutes, they told me to install new firmware. It kept happening. After another 40 minutes on hold, they told me they'd escalate my call. I was disconnected. I call back. After 1 hour on hold for a level 2 tech person, I talk to somebody who says he doesn't know and he'll transfer me to a level 2 tech. Agg!! I'm still on hold at this moment, after another 20 minutes on hold. So far, I've spent over 4 hours just trying to get it to work reliably. I've used the Netgear in the past. It is solid. Linksys routers also tend to be more reliable than this. (I work for an internet provider. We've tested a few of these things.) I strongly suggest anybody go with either of those, even if they cost a little more than the D-link.
