Summary: Not a good product.
Review: Used it for about a week now. Constant problems. Half the time you can't access the web based administration. The only way you can fix it is by unplugging it. Sometimes it won't save changes either. I've used Linksys, and I will return this unit and buy the Linksys. I've had a linksys router for about two years now with zero problems.

Summary: A so so router
Review: Well, I kinda agree with the bad reviews: my experience is that it basically works BUT: every so often (say every week) "forgets" the configuration, which means I have to wire the computer to reload the config.

NTP (automatic time setting) does not work, the date jumps back and forth randomly between 1956 and 2030.

Static assignment of DHCP addresses in the LAN also is unreliable, i.e. it gets "forgotten" as well, so that if you open a port for ssh to one address but then the address changes you are screwed.

The built-in dynamic DNS update system does not work (you need a software client on one of the computers to do the same thing).

I use 64 bit WEP encryption without problems.

Performance is reasonable.

In summary: I bought and so I try to make the best out of it, but I wouldn't buy and I do not recommend (quite strongly actually).

Summary: DI 514 WIFI
Review: works great, had a little trouble installing and called customer service. They were very helpfull and solved my problem. I would recomend this product for home use.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: works w/ Verizon DSL
Review: Works out of the box w/ Verizon DSL (Westell 2200 modem). It was a breeze to install. It would be nice if it had the capability to not broadcast the SSID. It never seems to get the time right (always 1 or 2 hours fast). But all in all, a very easy to use and inexpensive router & wireless access point.
