Summary: Sold my old AP and Router and now I am Pleased
Review: I sold my year old AP and router/firewall/switch and upgraded to this all in one router/firewall/switch/AP and faster 802.11b speeds than all other 802.11b APs. After selling my year old products on eBay they pretty much pay for my new upgrade. I was surprised to be able to get a reliable and speedy router for this low of a price. The amount of features that are on this compared to the AP and Router I bought a year ago are numerous amazingly easy to use. I am very impressed in the advancements D-Link has made in a year and am looking forward to another reliable networking year.The speeds of this "Enhanced" 802.11b are double that of normal 802.11b, and I am unsure why anyone would want something slower. The setup is also extremely simple. basically it's a plug in the wall, plug in the computers (or not if you are using all wireless) and run the Quick Start Wizard. I am very impressed and pleased with my new purchase.

Summary: I am Enjoying my FAST Wireless Freedom
Review: When this is coupled with the DWL-650+ card for the laptop the speeds are twice as fast as the conventional 802.11b @ 11Mbps and priced well under the 802.11a cards. I was amazed to find that this is even faster than cards rated at 11Mbps even when networked with 11Mbps access points or routers. I am very excited to be browsing the internet free from all wires and at speeds that don't annoy me. I can even play games over our LAN and not get a bad ping. The setup was super simple and the configuration settings are adequate for what you need to do. I don't think they could have made this any better than it already is. This wireless card is definitely "top shelf" in my book and I'd recommend it to everyone.

Summary: serious problems getting unit to work with my xp system
Review: After four hours of working with the set up program, plugging and unplugging the cables attached to the router, the cable modem and my computer, and waiting on line to get to tech support (in one case a full half hour), I decided to return the system. I spoke with three individuals in D-link's technical assistance, all of whom tried to be helpful, but even after following their directions internet access was excruciatingly slow when the unit was in place. My system is a brand new computer with an xp operating system. It is possible the unit was defective, or so I was advised by the last person I spoke to at D-link. Others have been pleased with the router, but based on this experience and my efforts at installing their 520+ pci card, I give them a one star review.

Summary: Great deal but buggy.
Review: You gotta admit, the price is great! Easy setup etc.. Bla bla. But even after I flashed the firmware, it periodically drops the connection. I have to manually reboot it. But that's ok since I just use it at home. I'm hoping they will release another upgrade and get this damn thing to be smoother.

Summary: Does not pass AppleTalk packets from Wireless to LAN.
Review: Works great. Only thing preventing it from getting 5 stars is the fact that the wireless portion of this router does not pass AppleTalk packets, but the wired part does...

Summary: Quick install and works Great!
Review: I installed this bad boy to get rid of my older router and separate hub. This allowed me to combine multiple units into one and get better speeds than I had before. I am impressed with the ease of installation. I thought this would take me at least a couple of hours, but it only took one. I had the DI-614+ up and running then installed my wireless network card (the DWL-520+) on one of our PCs and it was already connected to the Internet before I even changed the settings. Of course I went back and customized everything, but the default settings help with determining if the products work at all. All mine work great. I get great signal strength from the other side of the house and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to start sharing their DSL or Cable connection quickly and painlessly.

Summary: Good wireless router for the price
Review: Got this router because of a great deal i got and it replaced my Netgear M314 (another great device). As of the moment, I find this unit to be worth the price I paid for it. The unit can be setup to lay flat or stacked on a table, vertically positioned, or (like many do) hanged on a wall or high point to get better dispersion of the signal. It usually boils down to that - you get what you paid for, but in this case I am happy with this purchase. Setup was a breeze for both the wired and wireless networks and I was up and sharing my DSL access with my notebook in no time. There are issues here though, specially with wireless range, but then do remember that all wireless units are subject to connection disruption just like any other wireless device. Resolution? Find the best channel that suits your setup/location - I switched to channel 1 after having problems with channel 3 and 6 (lossed/dropped connection). This is important to note, specially if you are using a brand of wireless interface other than D-Link for your client. I have a Toshiba laptop with a built-in wireless NIC and it seems to like channel 1 way better than the first two I set. Don't just give up yet on setting up and 'experimenting' specially with the channels. Do note that your home/location may not be 'wireless friendly' too, with obstructions and other electrical devices that can disrupt wireless signals. If so, you'd better be off getting the higher/pricey models or install wireless repeaters/enhancers on set points in your house and/or upgrade the router's antenna to something better (D-Link has a wide range of antennas that can be fitted to the DI-614+). I do agree though with one of the reviewes here that some parts int the setup do get technical and you'd need at least basic knowledge of networking to get the advanced features running. But for the casual user, I'd recommend this unit well. It has good security features (up to 256-bit encryption), it's light (very light actually), and the price is great.

Summary: An ok product, but it is NOT faster than other access points
Review: The first unit I purchased was dead out of the box. Ok, it happens. I was able to setup and configure the second unit. I bought the 614+ because of the alledged increase in performance. Forget that. I timed some small and large file transfers over wireless and with files ranging from 1Mb to 10Mb file, I saw about a zero or 2 second difference than with a Linksys wireless router. I think the whole thing is a clever ploy to get people to buy their wireless client adapters, since only the two, working together, will get 22Mbps. Two days ago I added another D-Link access point to support roaming - because the range was a little less than advertised, which is pretty common with wireless networking. Roaming allows you to move around your network and still be connected - an important feature with wireless. Well, roaming doesn't work with the 614+. I was about 150 feet from the 614+ and 5 feet from the new access point and the connection was very slow because I was still connected to the original access point. I've installed Netgear and Linksys access points and roaming worked very well. I reluctantly called tech support. I think my grandfather knows more about networking than they do, but they were good for a laugh. I got the standard, "we're working on these things so check back soon." Sure, I'd love to sit on hold for the rest of my life. I've used other D-Link products in the past, mostly wired Ethernet, and haven't had any problems. However, I'm going to stay away from their wireless stuff. One more thing about wireless network speed: A little known, yet rather technical, feature of most 802.11b wireless is Short or Long Preamble. Almost all 802.11b devices ship with Long Preamble enabled. If you change ALL wireless devices on your network to Short Preamble, the speed is the same or better than the "turbo" 22MBps offered by the D-Link 614+.

Summary: Good Product! Good Support!
Review: I DIDN'T believe, NEVER TRIED tech support. I always solved problems by myself or if I failed, I seeked solution on the net. Setting up this router is EASY, yet I failed connecting to my DSL ISP this time. I spent time seeking for solution and solving problem, didn't help. After 30mins of struggling, I decided to call TECH support (which MANY users claimed they are not helpful) for the first time. I waited to be connected for 3 mins, then the tech collected my info, then put me on hold for another 3 mins, and returned, telling me they sent the solution to my email. I thought I was gonna return but hail no! it solved my problem. as simple as turn off both modem and gateway, start the modem then wait for handshake then start gateway again. very simple but I never knew this would solve problem. I also tried to compare ping between with and w/o gateway. 1ms difference. who care? if you have patience, it's good product with good support at good price too.

Summary: Everything About it went as Planned
Review: I did some research, I went out and purchased this wireless broadband router, I came home and downloaded the new firmware, I typed in my settings, I plugged it in, and thats it. Thats the last time I've touched it. Easy setup and so far from what I can tell it is reliable and easy to configure. It has been working great with my PCI based D-Link wireless network card since the first day I purchased both.
