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...

Less then meets the eye I purchased my DGL-4300 to replace my DI-614+, only to discover it dosen't support PPTP connections. After waiting two months, D-Link finaly released an upgrade that enabled PPTP connections.
When trying to use the router, I kept getting disconected from the net, every time I try to use a program that transfers high volumes of data, like video confrencing or on-line gaming. Every time I contacted D-link, they didn't know what the story was. After a long time, they finally said they ha...

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...

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...

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&#...

Some ?Ber 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...

Works, but many annoyances Tech Level:
Ownership:
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Comments: Overloads when using bittorrent and more than ~60 or so simultaneous connections are going (This happens a lot with BT downloads). Simply resets everyone's connection, which is very, very annoying. Returned this and I plan never to buy from D-Link again.
Also, the wireless security configuration page is buggy - won't let you enter in an ASCII key and hav...

A rather complex gadget! This router does all that it claims to do, and more, but it is not without its problems. I bought it for my Xbox 360 (it's officially on their approved list, unlike my last router!), and it gets me into some great, high speed Live situations. Most of the reviews here are outstanding for this little guy, so I won't duplicate what others have said. I'll simply share my own downsides.
1)Very complex piece of ordinance! I'm fair with computers, and I have a friend who programs video g...
