Summary: Seamless
Review: The D-Link worked perfectly right out of the box.
I have dynamic IP addressing and all it required was to plug the machines in and they were using my DSL immediately. No fuss no muss.
All of these routers in this price range work about the same. It was just too hard to pass on the $...off offer.

Summary: Great Product
Review: Slight problem w/ configuration but D-link customer support directed me to the web page that answered my question. No problems and provides NAT just as advertised.

Summary: Excellent for Mac w/ cable modem!
Review: Just got it today. Came with two cables. Hooked up the cable modem with existing wire, then hooked up my printer, G3 and Airport Station (for new G4) to the router with two cables that were supplied and one I purchased ($...). Followed two simple steps from their website, and now I have cable access on both machines, and perfect ethernet communication with the printer. Worth every penny. Easy to set up, Inexpensive, and Works great!

Summary: Great Router
Review: I picked this router up the other day, brought home, followed the instruction for PPPoE, and it worked perfect first time. All my home computers were instantly running on the net. I can't recommend the combination of ease for the great price on this router.

Summary: D-Link Web-site has @Home Installation Instructions
Review: I knew from the reviews that the DI-704 was a wonderful device when I bought it, but I was really disappointed with the installation instructions. After two or three frustrating hours of following the manual and experimenting every which way I could think of, all I'd managed to accomplish was to be able to log onto the DI-704 and change its settings via its web page. Regardless of everything I tried, I had no success being able to use the internet.What finally worked was searching the D-Link website (no, not through the DI-704) where I found detailed instructions in the FAQ's for setting the device up with @home service. After following these instructions everything worked flawlessly. It's amazing what wonders a few detailed instructions can accomplish. For example, after selecting a dynamic IP address it is then necessary to clone the MAC address. Although I'd figured this part out earlier, and also figured out that it was necessary to unplug the cable modem for 30 seconds, I hadn't figured out that it was also necessary to turn power off on the DI-704 for 10 seconds before powering it back up again. OK, it's a great product, but forget about using the manual. Instead, go to the FAQ's on the D-Link website and download detailed instructions for your broadband service provider.

Summary: Documentation needs improvement
Review: I've got my DI-704 up and running on a single computer right now and by all appearances it's working fine. Getting to this point, however, was something of a struggle as the documentation - "DI-704 Quick Installation Guide" and a "DI-704 User's Manual" - is somewhat lacking. The Quick Installation Guide has good step-by-step procedures and illustrations of what you should be seeing on the screen, but makes some assumptions about what you'll see; if the assumption is unmet (as it was in my case) you're left scratching your head asking "what do I do now?" The Quick Installation Guide could also use a more logical layout, as it starts you off directing you to one of two starting points depending on whether you are using "PPPoE" or not, but doesn't help you determine whether you're using PPPoE until you get over to the PPPoE section. Even though I'm fairly hep when it comes to computers and networking, having a vague notion of what the jargon all means, I couldn't get up and running following the included documentation. I finally had to take the router out of the loop, get myself over to the D-Link web site, and find another set of specific instructions to getting connected to my ISP provider, @Home. If @Home is your ISP I'd recommend downloading these instructions before you even take the DI-704 out of the box. I'm pretty sure that at some point I'll want to use some of the router's more advanced features (e.g., "DMZ" for playing on-line games) and I'm also pretty sure that I'll have to do a lot of outside studying and a lot of futzing around to get these features to work since the documentation is so thin. For the price (after rebate) you can't beat this product, as long as you can get it up and running!

Summary: Disappointed & Frustrated
Review: I was unable to get the DI 704 to function properly. I attempted to email D-link tech support for 3 days with no success. The manual had little troubleshooting info, and the D-link website was not helpful. It could be that the router I recieved was defective, but the total lack of decent technical support from D-link made my decision easy. I returned the product.

Summary: Works after entering gateway address
Review: This product is good. Just set to DHCP enabled and enter gateway address to 192.168.0.1 to each computer networked and you are surfing internet in no time. I wish they could have taken a little more time to write better installation instruction. Use user manual and not quick installation pamplet and you will be ok.

Summary: Simple installation
Review: It took me only 5 min. to make my Win ME and 98 computer work. All I did was release and renew my IP address.

Summary: Easy, effective, cheap,
Review: Excellent equipment. Very easy to set up, manuals are very clear. Works great, checked with "Shields up" at ... and I had a complete "shealth". The best thing is that after rebate it cost me $... and you can't beat this. Look is not as colorful as on Linksys models but I am minimalist and don't need Neon lights on my desktop. I only wish that all the ports came out from the rear, it would make wiring easier.
