4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Stable Router, but Totally Misunderstood, July 1, 2007

By	E. West (Federal Way, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Like everyone else, when I first installed the router I was having difficulties. I was having dropped connections, sometimes the SSID was not broadcasting, and a bunch of other stuff. I was about to re-box the thing and send it back, but I decided to fool around with the settings thinking I could not make the situation any worse. I remembered when I activated my DSL modem there was something called PPPoE. The PPPoE could either be hosted on the modem, the router, or the computer. Since the DLink WBR-2310 has PPPoE built-in I decided to turn off the PPPoE on the modem and host it on the router. Low and behold, all my connection problems went away. I was still a little apprehensive that I had found the problem, so I started a large file transfer from my notebook to desktop over the wireless connection and had two other notebooks pulling large downloads from the internet. Not once did the connections drop. Things got slow but nothing ever stopped. So, for anyone having connection troubles and they are using DSL try my example. It may work for you, it may not. I took away a star because I had to "luck-up" on finding the solution. DLink does not provide support for my modem and AT&T does provide support for the router. Terrible situation to put a customer in.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another flaky product from D-link, November 12, 2006

By	David M. Cheng "dmcheng" (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

1. I've seen problems with both the WBR-2310 and WBR-1310 when updating firmware. At least the 2310 is less drastic - the firmware update web page just spins and spins and you can't tell if it's done, but if you click away from it and then click to the status page, then the update was complete.

(with the WBR-1310, the router would lock up and you'd have to do a hard reset to recover.)

2. I could not get Extended Range Mode to work with Hidden Wireless SSID. Whenever I selected both and saved the settings, it would return with the hidden SSID turned off. Since security is paramount, I had to forego using extended range mode. It's not fixed in the firmware 1.02.

I've had too many problems overall with the WBR series, the DWL-2100, and even some DI-524s of which I used to have a high opinion. I'm going over to Netgear and Linksys for now.

4.0 out of 5 stars Work as it supposed to., August 30, 2007

By	D. Chan (Middle Georgia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was hesitant about this product after reading the negative reviews, but I could not resist the price. I got the wireless router yesterday. Installed it following the manual that is in the CD coming with the router. At first, the wireless part was a bit jittery, but later, it seems to be OK. One of my USB wireless network adapter shows that it is connected at 56MB/s as adverstised. When it was connected to my last wireless router (D-Link DI-614+), the connection speed was only 11MB/s and the signal strength was weaker. I can the download speed is faster with the current WBR-2310 than DI-614+.
