I want to get a wireless N router to use with my new M50VM that has a/b/g/n and the DIR-655 seems to be my best bet with some great reviews and great speed/range, any other models i should look at? I plan to keep my WRT54G with tomato firmware for my iPhone and any other G/B devices i have and run the DIR-655 in N only mode.
I was going to get a dual band router but after doing some research alot of them are still new on the market and have some crummy performance and not alot of good reviews, but the DIR-655 seems like a solid router with great reviews and smallnetbuilder.com recommends to keep your old G router for G devices like i plan to do and hold out until 2009 when N in finalized and dual band comes down in price and has better models.

I have the DIR-655 at my other place and it works wonderfully. Just thought I'd share.
-
Same, with an Asus F8Sa (Intel 4965AGN).

Awesome router. Lots of features as well.
I have been using the dir-655 for months and have never had a network drop. Fast too. -
I plan to buy this router too, and was wondering if it will work on my desktop computer if I simply connect it to this router with an ethernet cable?
Also, is it compatible with Vista? -
Yes to both. A router is OS agnostic.
-
Apparently this router can be set up without the use of the installation CD. How is this done?
-
you can just plug in the router to your network and if it does not work the way you need it just point your web browser to the IP of the router and configure it with the web gui. -
Yeah I'm not an expert at all so I think I'll play it safe and use the CD. haha Thanks!
Looking at the DIR-655
