    I was looking for a good router for my np2090 which will be shipped in two weeks(hopefully).
    I was going to buy D-link's Dir-655 but then i found this new(?) D-link's router called DGL-4500.
    I'm not sure if this router just got released out but i was having a hard time finding informations about it.
    Couldn't find any article or information about DGL-4500 at these websites: Cnet, newegg, and notebookreview.

    Does anyone have this router?
    How is it?
    Should I just go with Dir-655?

    thank you.

    yea I just read it was released a week ago , never seen any review about it too , seems like theypromoing it as "Gaming" router , for me it seems that it got improved QoS , the most intersting thing that i'm looking forward too is using 5ghz/40hz bands only on 802.11n.. the DIR-855 supposed to allow that , for this one im unsure allthough looks like it can as well.

    I think im just gonna go with this router even though there is no any review.
    but the weird thing is that this router is 239.99 dollars at D-link's online store when its 149.99 or something at circuitcity.
    why is there a huge differences? anyone know?

    You'll always find a price difference between the vendor and a third party reseller.

    That's actually an excellent price.... i couldn't find it anywhere that cheap on the web.

    What I have noticed with Circuit City and Best Buy is that when they first get a new product like this in it will be priced very low for a week, and then it will return to normal pricing and you probably won't see it this cheap until they put it on clearance after its lifecycle is over. It may get close, but it won't be this cheap.

    If you are in the market, I say buy it. I may do the same.

    I know!
    I was like what the hell. Is that even right price?
    or is it circuitcity going crazy? haha
    hopefully this router will work as good as DIR-655(haven't used it but yeah) :)
