This review is from: D-Link DI-514 Wireless Cable/DSL Router, 4-Port Switch, 802.11b, 11Mbps (Personal Computers)

This is just about as simple as Wireless Networking gets. You take this out of the box and it only takes a couple minutes to setup. This device practically walks you through every step and suddenly you are done and connecting your laptop wirelessly.

After setting this up I can now share my Internet with multiple devices (PC, Laptop, PS2, and whatever else is Internet capable.

I am happy with this router from D-Link because of the ease of use and simplicity of this router, oh and the low low price. Thanks D-Link!

I just got cable internet and wanted to share it on my other computer. I've never used one before, and was able to set this up fairly quickly. It works fine, and there's really nothing more to say.

It's low cost comparing to other routers kinda bugged me before I used it, but not anymore. It works, and I can't see spending anymore on another one.

Purchased this a few weeks ago and just set it up. The instructions in the box are basically useless - compared to the Netgear, for example, you better know what you're doing. But I basically do and didn't have any real trouble with initial setup: MAC address filtering didn't work right the first time and I had to do a hard reboot, but otherwise ok.

Also, a bright spot for customer service. Two of my laptops worked fine out-of-the-box but one could connect but not send or receive packets; I called tech support, and while they slowly read to me off of some manual, they asked enough questions to talk me through configuration steps I've never had to touch before and that worked perfectly - fixed that laptop and kept the others running. Kudos on that, and so far everything's working great!
