3.0 out of 5 stars A real review for the rest of us!, September 4, 2005

If I had to do this again ... well let's just say I don't like being punished. I like the unit for it's flexibility. I think anyone can easily set it up. If your an IT guy, like myself, you will really like the firewall options, although the logging has little to be desired. Now why the (3) three stars? The unit is not reliable! My wired and wireless connection keep dropping. I'm using DSL (PPPOE) and it just cannot keep the connection active. I just installed the newest firmware, ver 2.70, and it's still not working right. I have tried everything to really like this unit, but I would not suggest this to anyone, actually I did to several people, which I of course will retract any praise. Maybe D-Link will get it right next time. For now I will have to call them (D)efective-link.

Overall, great product. Probably the best price for what it is. It doesn't look as "cool" as Netgear perhaps, but the quality is sound. Great $40 rebate too.

I would say that I am above average in terms of computer knowledge but this product was SO easy to set up and use. It took me literally 15 minutes to put the card in my computer and hook up the router, and then the 2 cds that it comes with load in 10 minutes. I have Windows XP Professional and had no issues. My signal strength is very strong, especially if you are within 12 feet of the router. I am nearly always at 108 if I am in the same room as the router.

One issue, the router is a firewall and so you may need to adjust a few settings to access certain password protected websites like e-mail. Actually, AOL is the number one problem here. For people who are technically savy, the MTU rate needs to be lowered in some cases to match with an ISP better. They have a toll-free number, which is great because many places make you use long-distance. (877-453-5465). The tech support at D-Link are very good and sent me an e-mail within 1 hour of me asking. I would contact them before purchasing the product if you have compatibility questions.
Again, I am pretty pumped about having this wireless kit and I know/knew nothing about wireless stuff but this was way to easy and I had the entire thing set up and running in the time it took me to watch the Daily Show at the same time...literally.

This was the first wireless networking product that I have ever bought. It was so easy to install and set-up. Running XP and I didn't have one problem (heard all of the horror stories). Thanks D-Link!
