This was my first try at networking and wireless. I bought this unit because of low cost and good PC Mag reviews. So far after a few weeks it seems a good choice. I had it working with my cable modem in basicly 15 minutes after taking it out of the box! It worked with one computer and a LAN cable with basicly no set up. Two of my 3 computers were networked using D-link 650+ card adapters in an hour or so. In spite of some comments I have read on the net, the unit does not run hot and seems stable. The security features are good. D-Link has told me a firmware upgrade adding WPA is planned. I have not set them all up yet but have set up the 256 bit code and MAC filters for my simple net. The setup software is basic but works fine. The install guide is too brief if you are using Windows 98 but is ok for Win Xp.
I did have to call D-Link support to get my 120+ PCI adapter going as I had made an error but they were polite and seemed knowledgeable. I found it was best to call them very early in the morning (7 AM NY time-4 AM in CA!) to get through. The speed between computers seems to be about 6-7 MB/sec with encrpytion on . All in all these seem like solid, economical products. Would be 5 stars if the Quick install guide was a little better for WiN 98SE. I was able to link 3 computers together and to the cable modem/broadband for about $140 after the rebates. I have since added a Samsung 2152W Wifi printer to my system and it is so handy. Give it a try, beats running wires through all the walls! And it is so good to get rid of dial up and phone lines. Jim D. in NY. Oh, and remember to turn off Norton Internet security when you are first setting things up as it will tend to keep you from "opening" the remote computers initially even though you will see them connected on the wireless LAN utility provided by D-Link.

I bought the DI614+ and DWL650+ from Amazon in December 03. I have to say that the router is packd full of features. The features that I used in particular were the 256 bit encryption and the MAC filtering on the wireless access, both of which are generally easy to setup and ensure that drive-by cyber squatters cannot get onto the network. The basics worked fine and the web browser setup is a good idea, BUT: 1. the help did not correspond to the on-screen options; 2. I never got the 22Mbps that I should have, it peaked at 12Mbps even when the laptop was 5 feet from the router and both were properly configured. Dlink support was useless in 4 attempts to achieve that performance. Once I started going through walls, the bandwidth dropped way off (1-4Mbps). I sold the set before completing what may have been a more promising exchange with yet another support fellow (Jerry H.). 3. Reconfiguring the router requires the user to figure out the idiosyncracies of the router software (i.e. how to 'kick it around' via a sequence of config steps) to effectively change the setup. Apparently the product mangement tried to stuff it full of features but then did not commit to sufficient QA resources to ensure that config changes would actually work correctly. 4. There is no excuse for documentation that does not match up with what one sees on the config screen, particularly the on-line help. What documentation there is is minimalist and doesn't really describe what the various features do. Overall I am less than excited about D-Link and that firm now accompanies SMC as 'last resort' or 'so cheap I can't pass up the deal' places to do business.

I purchased this wireless router hoping to replace my 3 years old LinkSys router. However, after playing with it for several hours, I decided to return it because of the following (using firmware 2.18):
1. MAC filtering: Can't make it for wireless only. Once it is enable, it is for both wireless and wired network. This is the MOST annoying part. I mean, why do I want to enable MAC filtering for my wired network???
2. Router configuration: Very primitive comparing to my old LinkSys.
3. Enable/Disable Wireless: It didn't really disable the wireless network(physically). It shoulded be called "allow/deny all" access instead. Once the wireless is "disabled", it does still broadcast the SSID.
4. No way of disabling SSID broadcast for security reasons.
Finally, I have to give DLink credit for making upgrade firmware so easy (Web base), which is a big improvement comparing to my old linksys router.

I had this setup for a total of 2 days before I was ready to throw it out the window (fortunately, I was able to send it back to Amazon.com). Setup is the pits, range is terrible since you have to be right next to it for the card to have a connection, and there are better, more affordable productions on the market (Netgear!!)
Good luck to you if you are brave enough to try this.

I bought this 614+ with a D Link AirPlus DWL-650+, also supports 22 Mbps. When I tried to transmit some files under 22 Mbps mode, speed was almost same as 11 Mbps mode. I think the firmware and drivers are not optimized well enough. The DWL-650+ has cardbus interface and it's really 20% faster than other 802.11b products which has pcmcia interface as they insist. This router has good web based interface and good quality.

This is my second attempt at wireless. I first tried a Netgear router and wireless laptop card. The system would work for a while and then drop the signal for no apparent reason. This D-link system was simple to set up and has worked flawlessly ever since. The only downside is that to make any changes to the router you have to run the network wizard instead of going right to the parameter you want to change.

This item would have been great if it worked. The antenna thing was disconnected or broken internally and just swiveled around. Did not work as a wi-fi router.

It works well. I cannot set up a home network with it, though. My last D-Link was a snap to set up a network, but no this one. Other than that it's fine.
