5.0 out of 5 stars DSM-750 Exceeded My Expectations, May 25, 2008

This review is from: D-Link DSM-750 Wireless HD Dualband Draft 802.11n Media Center Extender (Personal Computers)

I purchased the DSM-750 a few weeks after it debuted. It was shipped in it's factory box through another vendor **MALL... The box was slightly damaged, but all the parts were there and in new condition. I plugged it directly in and it auto-detected my router and my Windows Vista Premium 64bit PC. I connected with Windows Media Center and started to stream high-definition movies. My old DSM-320 videos, a collection of 500 GB of TV shows and movies, played perfectly too. I had access to my database of 5000 MP3s as well.

I really think that D-Link outdid themselves this time with the DSM-750. I see that a lot of customers gave this 1/5 stars, but my unit came fully functional, and not only satisfied but exceeded my expectations. I am glad that I waited 6 months for this product to come out. I would recommend this device for any Vista user with a Hi-Definition Television. It pairs perfectly with my Samsung 4661. I no longer use the 360 as a media extender/streamer with my DSM-750.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting.., April 25, 2008

This was posted on another forum conscerning this product. I am wondering if the units still being sold are the new REV, or the old?

My name is Mark Espenschied and I am a Marketing Communications Manager for D-Link Systems, Inc. in Fountain Valley, California. A small number of early production DSM-750 Wireless N HD Media Center Extenders have an issue with a corrupted security certificate, which results in the communication error messages described in this post when trying to affiliate the DSM-750 with a PC running Windows Media Center. Unfortunately, this defect cannot be rectified through firmware upgrade, and can only be addressed by a factory-trained technician.


If you receive the communication error while attempting to affiliate the DSM-750 with Windows Media Center, please call D-Link technical support at 888-900-3939, Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm PST. This a special number which will allow you to directly reach appropriate technical support agents. They will assess the issue and determine if your unit needs to be replaced. D-Link is ready to quickly resolve this issue; tech support agents have been briefed and customers will be shipped replacement units if needed.


I want you to know that we are very excited about the DSM-750 and we recognize that you are among our most valued and technically-savvy customers. We have addressed this issue in all new DSM-750 units. D-Link greatly values our customers and we apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

1.0 out of 5 stars The first batch is defective by design and needs a hardware fix., April 29, 2008

The first batch of this product was shipped defective by design from DLINK. Unfortunatelly there is no firmware fix and the product needs to be returned to DLINK for a hardware fix.
I got mine with the problem and even level 3 support from DLINK could not fix the problem, the product needs to go back.
Everybody that got the product from the first batch from Amazon had the same problem. Curiously, customers that ordered from DLINK directly received good units.
I would recommend that you wait a little bit before ordering, or order directly from DLINK to get the good ones.
