Customer Reviews

dlink extreme gaming router is wonderful
Found the router easy to set up with my home network. The wifi security works with either a mac address filter, 'wep' type or both. Very quick install. New firmware installed nicely as well. Router stops ALOT of garbage from ever reaching my network. A check of the log daily shows just how much crap is out there trying to slow down my computer!

Great Router
I just purchased a new computer that had the Vista 64 bit operating system on it and wanted a router that was going to install with out any issues. I decided on a D-Link router after researching on the Vista website for it's compatiablity and narrowed it down to this one. I have to say it installed pretty easy and fast. I initially followed the installtion CD that came with the router but had problems with the cd finding the router after I plugged it in. Follow the pamphlet instead. Setting up the WPA was a breeze. I have a PS3 connected wireless on the network and that connected too without any issues. Laptop that has XP Professional connected to the network easy too. Very happy with purchase.
Don't forget to update the firmware.

Definitely buyin' it
I've done two days of research on this router and after discovering that Dlink just released a new firmware update (v1.12) on 8/7/2008, I'm in. I've been looking for a router that could handle both Xbox 360 and WoW and this looks like the best solution.
