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!

I'm not sure why some individuals have issues with this kit. This is the third D-Link set of routers and notebook cards I have installed and I've had no issues with any of them. They install great and don't experience any intermittent connection or reboot problems. No incompatibility issues or driver problems whatsoever. I made sure I followed the directions regarding installation of the drivers PRIOR to installing the hardware (VERY important with Windows XP). Make sure your machine is up to the latest version of Windows XP fix-packs (SP2) with all the patches available, and it should work well. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Easy set up, no installation problems, fast connect, good data
transfer. Extremely happy with my purchase. Ultra fast shipping. Very pleased with Amazon.com.
Great Price.

I installed the router by user guide in 2 minutes.
After a few step......My laptop got new wireless networking life...
I always needed to bring long network cable at home.
Now very convienient...
I strongly recommend this product.Especially D- Link!!!
Thanks.

I was originally confused because every wireless router had horror stories attached to it. I saw some positives about this one but also many negatives, I have to say I went with this one because of the rebate and it has been great. Setup was easy (I am no computer whiz)security features are a little confusing but the signal works great in my whole house (basement and upstairs). In case anyone goes through the same difficulty, for some reason Internet explorer won't work so I had to use a different browser like AOL.

Bought the DWL-926 along with Dwl-G520 to set up my system. I was alittle apprehensive, but with the "setup wizard" I was online all over the house in no time, w/o a problem. I don't have it exactly where I want it, but have time to tweak it as I go along.
I have had everything hooked up for about 4 days and I can't believe the speed on every single computer, you wouldn't be able to tell which computer is direct wired or wireless. I have been looking awhile and was leaning toward Linksys, but then I switched my phone system to cable based and the phone co. sent me a D-link VOIP, and was impressed with the ease of that, so I went with D-LINK, and very glad now with my decision. Not to mention the price, I am very pleased. Thanks AMAZON. Thanks D-LINK

took me all of two minutes to install, the card needed the cd. The router was plug & play. Works great haven't found a problem yet.

This Router is fine but the reviews on the matching adaptor/wirless card are terrible. Therefore, it makes no sense to buy this router. I would suggest to buy a router that has a matching wirless card/adaptor that is good as well. From what I've read, Lynksys makes a good set.
