Summary: An idiot could install this...
Review: I purchased this to swap out my SMC Barricade router. It took me less than 5 minutes. I am running WinXP Pro, NAV2003, ZoneAlarmPro and other such. I have had absolutely NO problem with this item. My laptop with a competitor's wireless 802.11b card picked it right up and does so everytime--no configuration was necessary. My main system also picked it right up with NO configuration necessary. I have since installed a DLink wireless print server (DP-311U) and it too was seamlessly integrated...in spite of the nattering nabobs claiming demons and nefarious conspiracy by DLink... I highly recommend this product.

Summary: the range is just awful
Review: I cannot understand how others here say the range is great. It simply will not go thru the (brick) walls in my house even if the router is litterally feet away from the recieving pc. In a straight uninterupted line I get 25ft max.

Summary: WOW! 108Mbps Bandwidth for FREE!
Review: With the new firmware D-Link just released I get double my speeds I was getting before. The best part is that it's a free upgrade. Basically they get better efficiency out of the data transmissions thus improving the speeds of their wireless products. This router has been nothing but good to me since I bought it about a month ago. It doesn't seem that long now, but I've really only had to fiddle with the router when I first installed it (about 5 minutes) and when I upgrade the firmware (about 5 minutes). Other than that I can just forget it is even there. Yet it is giving me wireless freedom with my laptop, protecting me from naughty hackers, securing my wireless network, and sharing my Internet with multiple PCs. All-in-all this is a great router and well worth the price. especially now that it gets twice the speed it was before.

Summary: Awesome new firmware with new features
Review: With the newest firmware released a week or two ago I now have cable testing software. I can check and see if the cables that are connected to my router are good and not faulty. This will also show where the fault in the cable is up to a meter of accuracy. I am impressed with the performance of this router even though it only has one antenna. In fact I think I get better range with this one antenna than my friend does with a different brand that has 2 antennas. The speeds are fast enough for me, not sure exactly how fast that is, but I have no problems playing MP3 files off my PC on my wireless laptop, or web surfing, or even gaming. I am impressed with this router and glad I got it on sale.
Thanks D-Link!

Summary: Version B Versus C?
Review: Hi, Read the comments. For those experiencing trouble. First update fimware. This will often fiix a lot of the issues. Second Tech support ranges from straight idiots to excellent. So keep trying. I had a rep once fall asleep on me throughout our conversation! ( phoned at 12 am). If you have issues ask to speak to a level 2 tech. Version A takes Version B firware which is 1.25. Version A and B have two antennas whilst C has one. C is Xbox live compatible, A and B is not. C has a faster CPU and cable tester (BS really). The B and C version is available in most stores like Fry's, BestBuy with a $30 rebate as opposed to $20. Oh and for you folks trying to connect devices such as ReplayTV, Tivo, and Xbox, their DWL-810+ Ethernet bridge works awesome and fast. I have tested in a bad WiFi enviroment i.e. my home. If you notice signals dropping they suggest you change the channel to 11 from default 6 on your router. sometimes if your "share a wall" neigbour is using the same channel as you , you might encounter signal issues. This change to channel 11 works exceedingly well. Also DI624 Ver. C is Xbox live compatible. this is useful only if you plan to attach it to the Xbox directly along withother devices. The reason for this is some folks have Xbox, PS2 and Tivo/Replay and perhaps something else in their HT room or living room and use the 4 port switch to hook them up. The DWL 810+ Ethernet bridge is Xbox compatible as well if you have just one item you need hooked up to your WiFi network. They are coming out with a G version called DWL-G810+ about three weeks. If your hooking up Tivo or Replay wait and get the G version. Also upgrading your cables to excellently shielded Cat 6 cable makes a huge difference. DI624 is very susceptible to RF/EM interference. If you are having issues try moving the plug and router away. On one test I had the router in a minimal RF/EM area but the plug was in a 6 port outlet and I had issues! Moving the plug to a minimal RF/EM area worked. This is with the router being in the same exact spot! i hope what i have shared will spare some one millions of hours of agony as I experienced learning this the hard way. Now, I need your help. I need to know if anyone has tested C and B versions and noticed any difference in signal strenght (since they plucked one antenna) and if they noticed a speed difference. would be great to hear from someone who's test was in a WiFi hostile environment. email me at netguru7@comcast.net.

Summary: Easy Set-up
Review: Got the DLink DI-624 Router, DWL-G650 Card, and DWL- G520 for my other desktop yesterday. Initial setup was pretty straightforward with default configurations. I chose this router since it supports WPA and some of the linksys ones that I saw currently doesn't. Had some configuration issues but that was due to XP's wireless zero configuration. Disabled XP's configuration so I could use the one that DLink has for the client cards. I get full signal strength/speed in my 1400Sqft condo. Speeds seem good like if I was on my wired network for surfing the web (figures since my SBC Yahoo connection is only 768Kbps and I'm connected to the router at 54Mbps). The device seems to play well with my DSL modem and my Netscreen firewall. It supports pass through VPN (IPSEC) so I can connect to my corporate lan through VPN. The only issue is that I had my VPN tunnel drop a couple of times but was connected to it for over 7 hours yesterday without a drop. It also has some nice features such as MAC filtering (to keep other wireless users from connecting through your router), WPA-PSK which was just released and is much more secure than WEP as well as easier to set up. You will have to download the WPA supplicant from DLink's site but it was pretty straight forward. Overall, would recommend this router..... performance and the features you get for the price makes it a great value.

Summary: I Now Have a Wireless Home!
Review: All I had to do was buy this router/AP and now I have 802.11g coverage throughout my home. Yes I only live in an apartment, but it's 2 bedrooms and I didn't think I'd get good coverage because of the weird layout of my apartment. Either way I now have a secure 128-bit WEP encrypted, MAC filtered, and reliable wireless connection. I've never had problems with my connection dropping, or unwanted users on my network, or even interference of my network. The router portion of this D-Link box works well also. There isn't much I can say about it, since it should just work, and well, it does just that. All my computers have an Internet conenction some wireless, some wired. I just can't get over how easy and fun the wireless networking is.

Summary: Excellent little home network device
Review: I didn't think netowkring could be this simple. I always thought sharing a broadband connection like Cable would be harder than this. I almost didn't have to do anything except plug it in to the modem and my computers in to it. Bascially if this thing had hands it would connect the cables itself. It does everything else automatically. Except the WEP keys for wireless, of course. Easy setup. Fast internet speeds. Connections are stable from what I see. I see nothing wrong with this D-Link.

Summary: Surprisingly Simple to Use
Review: I was astonished by how quickly I got my cable modem internet access working along with the wireless portion of this router in about 30 minutes. I thought it would be hours before I got everything working but I was wrong. Now I feel safe with 128-bit WEP running along with an Internet Firewall to keep out bad people. The 802.11g speeds are fast and you don't even notice a difference when being wired or wireless with my laptop on the Internet.

Summary: Good Backbone for Home Network
Review: This has been running my network now for 2 months and I am very pleased with it's performance and stability. Everything performs as stated and that's what I like to see. This one product has given me enough confidence in D-Link to buy more from them. In fact I recently bought the wireless adapters that are in this routers same family. They work great with this router. And once you know one D-link interface all the rest become intuative, which is a great advantage.
