Summary: Great wireless router
Review: This is the third router I've had but the first wireless router. This router allows multiple VPN tunnels which was important to me. Every router I've had has been easy to set up and the D-link was no exception. I also like how easy it is to update the firmware. I have three computers hooked up using the ethernet ports and one computer hooked up using a D-link Extreme-G PCI card and have had no trouble at all.

Summary: rude tech support staff
Review: After spending almost 1.5 hours trying to setup my DI-624, I called the tech support line for help. The tech who helped me didn't seem like he's interested in the job. Instead of walking me through the setup process slowly, he gave me whole bunch of instructions quickly as if I were some kind of computer expert. When I tried to ask questions to confirm his instruction, he answered "ya ya ya" and made comments relly made me feel stupid. I'm not sure if I ever will buy another D-Link product if I had to go through another rude tech support.

Summary: Impressed
Review: I replaced my Linksys wireless router which I bought about a year ago with this DLINK product. THe linksys was OK as long as you were with about 4 inches of the router. I complained and was basically told by LINKSYS that the particular product I bought was not very good, but since it took me more than 30 days to decide it was a POS, I couldn't return it for the one that was at least marginal. When my wired router died I did a little research and decided to but the DLINK. The price was great, but I was a little skeptical about the range and speed of wireless in general. In addition I bought a DLINK desktop wireless card. I have 5 computers (3 wired and 2 wireless) and all are working. The speed and range of this product are great. I was a little worried about the 2.4 gig phones interfering, but I have been on the phone and the wireless computer at the same time and no problem. I have been burned so many times by various computer products I have bought in the past. It is refreshing to find one that lives up to its reputation.

Summary: False advertizing
Review: I bought d-Link 624 yesterday. - Couldn't get it to work. Their advertized 24/7 tech support is a hoax. There was no one there. So bought Linksys instead. The last box in store, which was a good sign. I was up and running in few minutes. Linksys works like a charm. I was glad I had a choice.

Summary: Nice feature set and performance
Review: I turned to D-Link after I tried a Linksys 802.11g system, which had such poor range that I couldn't go more than 15 feet without losing the signal. For the most part the D-Link system has performed very well, and it can maintain a good connection in various areas of the house. Connection speed is respectable as well. Definitely faster than Linksys.The WPA encryption and firewall features are big benefits, as long as you can get them to work (it took me about an hour to figure out the right settings). The setup wizard was DOA, though. I could never get it to work, so all setup had to be done manually. Not a big deal, but an inconvenience.

Summary: Nice Router from a former Linksys User
Review: The setup of the router is simple. You can actually go to D-Link's website and use the emulator, that way you can get an idea on what the configuration screens look like. I have the Rev C router, which is smaller and has only only 1 antenna. It supports both WEP and WPA security. The range in my 2 story house is good. The router is on the second floor. From time to time, while sitting down stairs, I will get interference from my Neighbors router, if my card loses connection with my router. With the firmware upgrade you get speeds of up to 108 mbps. I average around 42 mbps sitting downstairs. Keep in mind if you have any wireless hardware that does not support 108 mbps turbo mode it will prevent your router from using it. I have had it for a month now, so far everything is working good.

Summary: Wow! Small unit! Surpassed my expectations!
Review: Set up was a cinch! Was up and running in 30 minutes with 3 computers. The firware update for the router wasn't hard but does require some computer knowledge. Teamed with the DWL-G650 Network Card(firmware updated) I really don't see how it could get any faster. I actually tested the wireless connection compared to a direct cable connection and it was only .1 Mbs slower using wireless, which is amazing. Using Road Runner I was downloading 380KB/s wireless. As far as I can tell the range is outstanding. I am going through 3 walls and 30 feet right now and have excellent signal strength. I highly recommend this product to anyone who doesn't want to settle for average as this product is far from it. Well worth the money and seems to be very high quality! Great product D-link

Summary: D-Link DI-624 AirPlus Xtreme G Wireless Router
Review: Great router. Worked flawlessly out of the box. Tried the Netgear WGT624 could't get it to work and called tech support.
Was told it was a bad router. Second didn't work, had to read the reviews on Amazon to find out about the problem.
Netgear doesn't acknowledge the problem and provide a fix. I've had Netgear routers in the past and after this will buy only D-Link only. Why pay more for the Netgear router that may not work and won't acknowledge it's problem. The D-Link has the same proformance for less. The fact they provided firmware to have my version B upgraded to the G plus standard at 108 saids a lot about the company.

Summary: Great Router!
Review: The version of this router that I got needed the latest firmware upgrade to operate in Super G mode and run at 108 Mbps. I installed the router without a hitch. (I was already using a slower router, so installation was extra easy with the computers already set up to network together). It took one minute or less to have the router going. Then I installed the matching card in my notebook. Again, an easy and trouble-free installation that took only one to two minutes. Then I upgraded the firmware, following the instructions on the website. That too took only minutes and was easy to do. Right away, everything ran at a nice 54 Mbps. It took a little longer (maybe 15 minutes or so) to track down all the instructions for getting the router and the card to talk to each other in Super G mode. But once I figured out the settings, they hit 108 Mbps and ran at top speed. Everything works great. I have excellent speed from all areas of my house (using the wireless card on the notebook). The router never loses the remote connection (which wasn't true of my old, slower 11 Mbps router). I got the router and wireless card as a bundle, which was a good savings over the individual prices. With the current $40 rebate, I'll pay about $86 for both. I can't recommend it highly enough, and the price is excellent.

Summary: Lives up to expectations except for two items.
Review: I have the latest revision C router with the 108mbit/s mode and the latest firmware as of 12/25/03. This router will do everything you expect it to and works well. I'm not going to rehash its features here because they work as advertised except for Static DHCP. I just could not get Static DHCP to work. Static DHCP is supposed to always assign the same IP address to a computer by identifying it by its MAC address. No matter what I did, the assigned IPs would still be sequential. (Yes, I released and renewed the assigned IPs, and even restarted the computers.) The other item which annoys me may not be a problem for everyone. The revision C router I have emits a very high pitched sound. If you're tone deaf in the higher-end frequencies, you won't hear it. It sounds like the high-pitched squeal that some televisions make. It is not very noticeable over the sound of your computer's fan, but when your room is quiet it will be extremely annoying. After a night of sleeping, my ears feel tired from listening to the high-pitched tone constantly all night. I had to wrap my router in layers of bubble wrap to reduce the sound. This tone is common on revision C routers and there are many discussions about it on websites which you can easily find if you do a web search. If not for these two issues, I would be extremely happy with this router. The sound issue is much more of a problem for me as it makes my living environment unpleasant. I don't find the restarting of the router that some people complain about to be much of a bother. It only restarts when you make certain changes. However, if you or other users are doing critical work or running apps where they can't lose a connection for a few seconds, then it will be an issue for you. Many routers restart when you make changes, but they just don't make it as obvious and give you a message such as, "Please wait 10 seconds," instead of telling you that the router is restarting.
