Great product
Although the antenna connections can be a bit flimsy at times (I mean they can break somewhat easily), it's still a great product with many features and options. The range is okay, but overall, I have enjoyed it.
Excellent!
I had a netgear router that would constantly knock all my wireless connections offline.. I hate netgear lol. Found thia beast and i love it. You will not regret this purchase!
Don't believe the Hype
Got it, read all this stuff above about it having special way of syncing the data properly. Signal wasn't that strong at all (they say good for big houses) I'm in a Small House!!!.....Bought a Dual Band (Cool looking Diamond Asus one)....... worth the extra $20 and I'm a cheapsk8.
Work great for a short while
Do your homework before purchasing this router. It is plagued by firmware issues since day one. I cannot connect both g and n it is an either or. I currently have a bricked DIR-655 due to a firmware update. Search the web for DIR-655 firmware issues. Do Not Buy This Router.... You are better off with an engenius product or and seperate wired router with an wireless accesspoint connected to that.
Garbage.
Roommate bought this to solve our torrenting problems after my several years old WRT54G, which worked flawlessly, died. My main gripe about this router is that the QoS feature is absolutely horrible. Both my roommate and I have spent hours trying to configure it to work. We tried ticking and unticking boxes, playing with upload levels, trying different priority settings, but nothing works. My old router flashed with DD-WRT, you could upload and download at max speed, browse the internet and play L4D2 with perfect ping. The DIR655 is just one giant headache and a hassle. I would return it if it were my router. Luckily I'm getting a new router tomorrow which I will flash with DDWRT and tell my roommate to take this piece of junk back.
great range for the money
This D-Link router is great. It has a great range: it sits in my living room, and I can access the WiFi anywhere in the house. The basement, my garage, any bedroom... well worth the money!
