Summary: All Works Well Thanks to Updated Firmware
Review: I recently bought this and a laptop with the Centrino chip in it. I was getting Blue Screens of Death every once and a while and didn't know why. I narrowed it down to the 614+, but the next day D-Link released a firmware to upload to the 614+ that fixed that BSoD problem. Now everything is running very smoothly and I like the strong securoty features this has. 256-bit WEP, MAC filtering, Disable Broadcast of SSID, and some parental controls too. I feel very in control, and very secure. Plus the speeds I get with this and my laptop are fairly good. I can't tell a difference between this and my wired desktop as far as speed goes. Browsing the Internet is no different. Even the short list of games I play on my laptop can handle the wireless with no lag when playing LAN games or online games.I recommend this router even for the novice who wont use the wireless portion. You can disable the wireless access point inside so it wont broadcast and wont let any wireless clients on. Then it is a powerful 4-port router with strong firewall. Plus you have wireless capabilities if someone with a laptop comes over, or you get a laptop or wireless adapter for your desktop in the future. All you'd have to do is log in to the web based configurator and click enable and apply changes. I recommend this to everyone who shares a broadband connection.

Summary: could'nt get it to work
Review: I could'nt get this router to work. I purchased a Linksys wireless and it worked in a flash! purchase the wireless "G" standard and you won't be sorry. "B" is on it's way out.

Summary: Spotty connection
Review: This router is really horrible when it comes to consistancy. Others claim that the range is bad, but it's worse than just bad range. I can pick up an excellent signal, but it doesn't last very long. I can't maintain a conversation with windows messenger or do practically anything that requires a constant connection including streaming media, long downloads, etc. Do not purchase this item, you will regret it.

Summary: Bad Bad Router
Review: Do not get this Router if you have to VPN into work from your wireless connection. I spent 2 days trawling the net for information on setting up a VPN sesion from my notebook. All I found were problem reports with the DI 614+'s ability to VPN. Needless to say I returned it this morning. I am going back to Linksys. It's costlier, but it works without having to upgrade firmware every other day. Best of luck for people willing to stay with it

Summary: Best of the bunch
Review: I have tried SMC, Netgear, and D-link wireless routers. I like the D-link most of the bunch. Their software is the best of the three. It has a little small and light AC power adaptor. The speed seems good and the range is good. Netgear has a sexier package--slightly smaller and more rounded but its is offset by having a HUGE, heavy brick of an AC Power Adaptor that weighs what seems like about four times the weight of the router. Netgear had about ten feet more range than the other two, but I actually travel with my wireless router and the huge adaptor doesn't compare well to D-links. The SMC has the worst software of the bunch. The one I'm using is a couple years old though so maybe they fixed that up in the newer versions. This router has a parallel printer port which I like alot so I use this one at home. Its range is the same as the D-link. Speed is slightly slower. In the end D-Link is clearly my favorite and the one I would recommend to anyone (unless they need a printer server).

Summary: Works fine - just follow instructions
Review: As instructions stated, I installed the latest firmware for the router (which obviously is on their site) and followed instructions. NO BIG DEAL. IT WORKS! But if you are the type who think they know everything and don't take time to read instructions OR if you are not comfortable with computers, go with another brand because updating the latest firmware may not be for you. Signal strength fluctuates around 65% to 50% at 50 feet (my bedroom to the living room). Can't really notice a drop off in performance but maybe if I had a larger apartment :p Its an all around good cable router which allows me to check my email and surf the web without having to buy 100ft of Cat 5 cable.

Summary: A Nice Wireless Router For the Price (after Rebates)
Review: I found this router a lot easier to set up than the wired router (Linksys) it replaced. And it's real easy to configure. After rebates, this will cost under [$$], so you really cannot beat this deal.

Summary: Works fine with Mac 10.2.6
Review: Hooked this up to my Mac G4, no software needed. Just remember to unplug your cable modem first, then power the modem, then power the router. Connects and reconnects without fail. I have been able to use an iBook with AirPort all over my house and outside. Also works fine with a Belkin USB Adapter on another floor.

Summary: Will never buy any D-link product
Review: This router is totally a junk. Wasted me so much time but won't work. Tech. support is useless. I have cable internet service. Without this router, the cable internet is fast and reliable. If I use this router in between my computer and the cable modem, the downloading speed got extremely slow, unbearable. Their tech support is useless. First time called they asked me to update the firmware. Still not work right. Second time called they sent me by email some info and ask me to call again if still have problem. It is so annoying. I will never use any Dlink product again.

Summary: Easier than I thought!
Review: I'm a tech lover, but not really the best at setting up and configuring tech products. So, when I bought the DI-614+ for my first wireless network I expected to take several hours trying to figure out how to set it up. It was much more simple than I expected, since I followed the directions in the quick installation guide exactly. I bought the DWL-650+ card for my laptop, and set everything up directly on my computer. It took about 30 minutes total from the time I opened the boxes, which for me was extremely fast! Now, I can walk all over the house with my laptop and stay online the whole time.
