D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router DIR-655
Mfg Part #: DIR-655
 |
With the latest firmware installed, you will be able to turn off the router's wireless signal altogether at certain times of the day, to save energy and use the USB port to share a printer or a memory stick on the network (SharePort).
The DIR-655 Wireless N Gigabit Router connects to any modem or ISP box to provide Internet access for computers and other network equipment. It is an advanced device that features 802.11n (Draft 2.0) technology, thus incorporating 300 Mbps wireless performance with extended coverage and no dead spots. Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is included on both LAN and WAN networks.
This router, with its Quality of Service feature, automatically detects if audio, video or gaming content is being transmitted over the network and gives these applications priority over less time-sensitive traffic such as email or file transfers.
Setting the router up is easy even for non-technically minded people, with D-Link Click'n Connect: run directly from the product CD-ROM, this wizard takes you through an interactive step-by-step guide that will get you on-line in a matter of minutes. It also includes a simplified method of setting up wireless encryption, the Wi-Fi Wireless Protect Setup (WPS), which works at the touch of a button.
A powerful dual firewall (SPI and NAT) prevents Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and attempts to breach your network from the Internet. You can also define a list of allowed sites to restrict web access during certain periods.

Strengths: Excellent signal strength.
Weaknesses: None that I know of.
Summary: I previously was using a Netgear b/g router that was always losing the connection to the internet. Initially I blamed my modem, but then found that it was the router. Since installing this D-Link router I have not lost the connection once in over a month of use. This was more expensive than some other n routers, but I think it was well worth the money. Highly recommended.

Strengths: User friendly, easy to install.
Weaknesses: None at the moment.
Summary: I am not a computer geek, and was able to make two computers and printers work on a network.
The on screen info was clear and if you run into trouble the software helps you correct your issues.
The speed is perfect and the G/B backward compatability help me configure and older appliance.

Strengths: Fast, very good security
Weaknesses: Until recent firmware upgrade occasionally lost connection
Summary: I have owned WiFi units since they first came out, and I have set up many networks for friends. I like Dlink and the products they make, and I would reccomend this unit to anyone looking for a high-speed system at a good price.

Strengths: SPEED, ease of set up, giga bit ports
Weaknesses: none noticed
Summary: Way faster than my old wireless G router. The gigabit ports are great for home theater conectivity. Join it with a DAP-1555 and you are well on your way to networking your home theater.
