Great Router for all around home use.
D-Link only made one mistake with this router, and that was bad marketing. They shouldn't market this as a 'Gaming' router, but more as their premium brand router. The real option that makes this router shine is that it just works. I had initially bought a linksys WRT54G seeing that Cisco bought linksys and I thought it would be great but it was bad news. It was slow, had poor signal strength compared the 4300 and wouldn't 'just work' with the PSP and the Gameboy DS. I sent it back to Amazo...

Excellent, high performance router
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Excellent, configurable Firmware.
Outstanding (really outstanding) Wan-To-LAN thru-put with Firewall on. This is extremely important if you have a really fast Cable or FIOS connection. With many routers you are leaving performance on the table due to limitations here. 10/100 mbit WAN port does not mean 10/100 performance. With this router...

Best Router I've ever owned
I've always sworn by Linksys and Netgear, but this past summer, I was pulling my hair out with VOIP problems. On both my older Linksys Wireless-G router and a newer Netgear WGR614 router, all calls over VOIP would end spontaneously after 5-10 minutes. It varied and improved somewhat when I moved to the WGR614.
On a whim, I purchased this from CompUSA. I'd had problems with D-Link in the past - two wireless routers in a row died in less than a year, just prior to purchasing my Linksys...

Its a pretty great router, but support is weak!
I'm a computer professional so technology is not much of a mystery to me, but I still want something that's solid, and easy to manage. The internal software to his unit is pretty good, and the performance is top notch. For one its easy to store, and save your configurations. This is important because there may be occasion where you have to reset the router, and your settings would be lost. The firmware was easy to update, and will need to be updated as soon as you connect the device. A word o...

This is the router you want!
Tech Level: high
Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: Gigabit Ports. Better than average range (esp. with a 'rangebooster' D-link wireless card married to it). WPA 2 and Radius Wi-Fi security options. Your wife/girl/kid/buddy/whatever can download music, videos, or large files while you're gaming, with little or no impact on your ping or performance. Overall throughput of this router *greatly* exceeds 99% of home&#...

The Perfect Gaming Router for the Home
If you play a lot of online games, or download a lot of files all the time, then this is the router you want to get the best performance out of your Internet connection.
I will save you the time of reading my review since it will mostly reiterate what other reviews have said.
Basically this router rules, as it does what it says it can do, and you don't have to fiddle around with it much to get it working properly. The wireless signal is great, it works well with it's partne...

Great Speed and Distance
The router was easy to setup and get connected. The documentation could have been a little better for securing my network. It covered my entire house and patio even though it was setup in the basement. The only trouble I had was connecting my Nintendo Wii. The default version of the internal software needed to be updated and after that everything worked great.

For Gamers Only!
This router is by far the most innovative in terms of it being geared towards online gamers. It really does automatically route your connection to your game. You can even be using BT while playing games and your ping will remain as low as if you werent downloading stuff. Highly recommended if you have the $ to spend and you are a hardcore gamer. I admit that I am

Router runs very warm
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: The 4 Giga port are the reason I bought this router as we have a Giga Network. The wireless 108G is easy to set up and works well.
Cons: The first one we had started smelling like a burnt match after about 25 days; I would guess a componet failed due to the fact this router runs very warm (100 degs. F plus). Newegg was great to replace it. The unit comes with small rubber f...

Some üBer 1337-ness from D-Link
I just recently went to a LAN party with some friends and this router was powering the Intenret connection. Those blue LEDs were mad bright! The Internet connection at the LAN was flawless and I knew I had to have one of these bad boys. Plus this thing has all gigabit ports! w00t!
I ordered it on the Internet and it came the next day. I've had it running in my room for 3 days now and I have to say that it does make a difference with my ping times in CS. And I've had to face this route...
