Customer Reviews

Great Router, Easy Set-Up
Despite the many neutral to negative reviews, I'm having a very positive experience with this router. It was easy to set-up and install (I didn't have to use the install CD). I recommend using the install CD if you're unfamiliar with basic networking. I'm not by any means a network genius.

My favorite features was the automatic recognition of my SlingBox Pro and XBOX 360. On my previous router (Actiontec) I had to find tutorials by the manufacturers in order to manually input the correct port forwarding settings. This DLink automatically recognized and I'm guessing set the correct port forwarding information because both work perfectly.

For $39.99 (Amazon.com, Circuit City as of 8/24/08) this N router is a steal!

So far so good, the only thing I'll be concerned about is the quality - some previous reviewers mentioned that it worked, but then it broke...

Overall, highly recommended.

Junk. Complete waste of money and frustrating to boot.
I have had this router for 6 months (I purchased it at Target). To start with it was a serious bear to set up. Another reviewer posted the steps to alleviate the IP DNS issues so I won't reiterate, I would just like to comment that the process is a pain, and is magnified if you actually need to open a port and/or set up a static IP. You start to feel like you need an A.S. in computer networking if you have more than one computer AND need to open ports and set up a Static IP -.-. I have 2 XBOX 360's, a PS3, and two laptops....getting my NAT settings set correctly nearly cost me my marriage 0.0.

Assuming you get it up and running, it works well....for awhile. Then you start to experience the joy of its garbage...err "recycled" hardware. You start to dance the dance of the moron. Update firmware, call tech support where they will tell you to unplug it for two mins....then when that doesn't work....to unplug it again for two mins.....rinse repeat until you realize that the "special" kid on the other end of the phone can barely spell router and he certainly does not have the knowledge to help you fix yours. If the miracle of miracles occurs and you get it up and running, you start a new level of hell.

The signal is sketchy, and that's being generous. I have put the thing on my head (Yes, I was THAT frustrated >: ( ) and still only had minimal signal. Even better, when I DO have signal, that does not mean I have internet. I cannot count the number of times I have just dragged the laptop into the other room and connected directly. Nothing quite like trying to focus while freezing your butt off on the kitchen floor tile.

I like to have something positive to say about everything...so....uhm, it did not set my house on fire. It was fun to smash to tiny little bits with the hammer too >^^< (yes, I really did and frankly, I should have done it sooner).

For all that is good and decent on this planet DON'T BUY THIS THING!!!!!!

good choice for home use
I bought this router on the advice of a relative who has a home business. It works wonderfully, and I get great reception for my laptop on a different floor. The only problem I have, which may be the router, or could be AOL, is that every so often, I have to do a connective fix before I can use AOL for the internet. Otherwise, it was a great price for the quality of the product.
