5.0 out of 5 stars Rock-Solid Router, March 15, 2007

I was using a Linksys wired router/switch for a few years. I was constantly losing VPN connection and having to re-connect. I put in VOIP (Vonage) phone and had to restart every 3 hours. I thought I had cable modem problems, network problems, config. problems on router. Finally, I ordered the D-Link EBR-2310 (because it was very inexpensive). I took it out of the box, plugged it in, connected my (4) network cables including a wireless connection. In 6 weeks I have not had a single connection problem. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! - highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only thing worse was the tech support, August 8, 2008

This router might make a good frisbee, but as a router it is an unspeakable piece of dog doo. Right out of the box, it intermittently dropped Internet connections for minutes at a time. Going through the installation process with the included CD, it informed me that I did "not have the correct router". Silly me. As for tech support, you would be hard-pressed to find support as bad as D-Link's. After navigating a mighty oak of a phone tree and a 20-minute wait, you'll find yourself talking to someone on the other side of the planet who learned English watching Rocky IV. Throw in a connection that sounds like two tin cans and long piece of yarn, and you're in for one frustrating phone call. No, make that many frustrating phone calls because you won't get any useful help on the first several calls, if ever. Some of the expert advice I received after describing my problem included, "Buy a faster cable modem" and "Call your internet provider for help." Uh, thank you? Moving up to a "level 2" technician resulted in a crankier support person who was equally clueless. The stinkiness of this router is only surpassed by its tech support. It'll be a chilly day in H-E-double toothpicks before I ever buy a D-Link product again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Plays well with the Mac, May 30, 2007

Although the box doesn't say so, this unit does set up and run with the Mac. Just ignore the Setup Wizard on the CD and most of the 66-page manual on the CD. To set up the router, connect the unit to your Mac using the thoughtfully included Ethernet cable, be sure you are NOT connected to the Internet, power up the router and your Mac, [...]. The router will self-configure, asking you to change the password if you so choose. Piece of cake.

If the box had contained just one slip of paper recapitulating the above for non-Windows users, I would have saved considerable time searching for MAC addresses, DNS adressses, and IP addresses that the router actually finds all by itself; and I would have rated it 5 stars.
