Summary: This is a great product
Review: How ecstatic am I about the D-Link DI-624 wireless-G router? The fact that I am typing this review, on my laptop, in the basement of my house, with 100% signal strength, while the router hums happily along up on the third floor sheds some light. I just upgraded to this router and PCMIA card setup from D-Link's wireless-B combo (DI-614+). This is a big improvement in range and speed. With the old router, I had a range of about 1 room around the one where the router was stationed. Now, I can roam throughout my entire house, and probably outside as well. I am impressed. For the value, I think D-Link probably can't be beat. Excellent web site support and service, too.

Summary: Works great with both mac & pc
Review: I ordered the D-Link DI-624 to provide wireless access for an iBook and Thinkpad using our high speed cable connection. I followed the simple instructions in the box and had everything running smoothly with the iBook in less than 5 minutes. It only took another 5 or so to get the security parameters I wanted setup (shared key WEP encryption). I found the configuration interface on the router to be really straightforward and easy to use. The Thinkpad took a little bit more work to get using the wireless connection - but through no fault of the router's. Windows XP is just a little bit trickier to configure than Mac OS X 10.3. All in all, the configuration took no more than 30 minutes tops and I've not touched the thing since. It's a great router and very fast with very good signal strength.

Summary: D-Link DI-624 Wireless Router Installed and Ran flawlessly
Review: TheD-Link DI-624 Wireless Router installed and ran flawlessly The Quick Installation Guide was outstanding. No problems whatsoever. The DI-650 Wireless Modem started up immediately in my laptop, and worked as smoothly as the direct Ethernet connection from my desktop machine. My laptops Windows 2000 Operating system warned that the drivers had not yet been certified by Microsoft. I decided to let the install proceed anyway. Didn't seem to matter. Everything worked perfectly. The wireless modem reported it was doing 54MBPS rather than the theoretical maximum of 108MBPS that one should get from a Super G Router.

Summary: Range is great
Review: I was a bit concerned about range with my wireless network, as by necessity, my wireless router needed to be in at one end of the house in the basement while my wireless PCI card needed to be 2 stories up and at the opposite end of the house. Horizontally, they are about 40 feet appart and vertically they are about 20 feet apart (making the straight line distance about 45 feet through two sets of ceilings & floors). I hooked up the di-624 router and dwl-g520 pci card yesterday. Signal strength was low at first with connection speeds varying between 11mbps and 54mbps, but the connection existed. Then, I upgraded firmware on the dwl-g520. Since then signal strength has been good to very-good and connection speeds have been a consistent 108mbps. Also, I've never hooked up a router before in my life, and it was relatively painless to do so and enable WEP. So, to conclude: fast speeds, good range, easy set up. And a pretty decent price. What's not to like?

Summary: Great buy
Review: Does its job. Aesthetically pleasing, compact, nice toolset, and trouble free. I realize there are more technically advanced routers out there, but for a small at-home or business network, it is perfect especially for the price. Unfortunately I can not give it or any D-Link product I have bought 5 stars because there is always an undocumented feature or two, and the DI-624 is no exception.

Summary: Connectivity problems
Review: While tech support was helpful, they were not able to solve major connectivity issues - namely that the router dropped packets frequently. This meant that it kept disconnecting some applications. D-Link acknowledges that there may some difficulty using Yahoo Messenger, for example, especially with more than one computer at a time. An another note, the administrative tools were comprehensive but perhaps bewildering for novice users. The modem also lacked the ability to summarize all connected clients in a single screen. All of this is unfortunate given that the router typically receives top ratings for performance. In the end, it was more trouble for me than it was worth.

Summary: Good router for the price
Review: After reading all the reviews here, at first I was a bit concern if D-Link will work with my setup at home, since I have a time frame to return the product if it doesn't work so I purched this product from Amazon and it arrived at my door step less than a week later. In 15 minutes I was able to get both of my PCs online communicate wireless with this router, the installation is prety straight forward that is if you choose the default installation, but may be a bit confusing if you choose to setup IP address, Firewall, security, etc. For that you may want to stop and read the manual carefully to understand all the terms, I don't think a regular user can understand all that, you may want to consider inviting your high tech guru neighbors or friends to help you out if you choose to do this. Don't forget to download the latest firm ware it may help making the setup trouble free and speedup the router. I have the unit for over a week now and it works flawlessly for me so I am highly recommended this product to new buyer,the price with the rebate can't be beat.

Summary: MAC USERS - - GREAT FOR US TOO!!!
Review: This product is excellent. Out of the box, the wizard works using any web browser. I tried it using IE, Firefox, & Safari and the wizard worked flawlessly with them all. It took me just 15 minutes to update the firmware, set up the WEP and experience wireless life. Also, the web-based setup program also allows you to enter the WEP key in ASCII which makes it easier for us using Apple Airport (the option is not in the start up wizard, but is however an option in the web-based setup). Overall, an excellent Wireless Router which works with Cable, DSL, and with my setup, a LAN connection in my college dorm room. Playing Halo over wireless I never thought could be so rewarding!

Summary: Poor Range
Review: I decided to replace my DI-704P wired network, which I had no problems with but just wanted wireless with my notebook. So bought the DI-624 along with the DWL-G650. I live in a two story house. In the room with the router the reception was excellent (I used Netstumbler and Cirond WiNc), but in the next room signal strength dropped to 75%, 50% in the third bedroom, downstairs 25% and outside under the bedroom with the router 15-20%. These numbers all seemed low. So I replaced both units with the same results. However, the story has a happy ending.... Again, I replaced both units but with the Netgear WGR614 router and the WG511 notebook. All I can say is D-Link has "POOR RANGE". With the Netgear setup - signal strength was above 75% anywhere in the house and outside opposite side as the router it was still 60%. The D-Link units need work! In addition, with SSID broadcast off and the WEP at 128bit the D-Link card could not find the network. Netgear had no problems. I found this review of the Netgear WG511 on Cnet's website. It shows the Throughput/Performance of 5 different cards including the D-Link and Netgear cards ---- http://reviews.cnet.com/4505-3251_7-21056546.html?tag=txt ----Hope this helps you make an informed decision.
