I had one of those for few months. If you're gonna install it in the same room as where your wireless devices are, it's good. But, it's not the best router rangewise.
It tend to lose signal for some reason every 2 to 3 weeks ( not all the time though ), all you have to do is to reset the thing whenever you feel there's something wrong with it i.e everything else seems to work OK, but you can't open webpages anymore. By disconnecting it and the modem from the wall jack, then connecting the modem and wait for 30 secs, then connect the router.
I installed a Linksys wireless G router for a friend, he never had any problem with it at all, never needed to reset it, same goes with a Netgear wireless G router I installed for a friend of mine. If I were to buy a wireless router, I would go with Linksys or Netgear. But, you can't beat the price ~ less that $30 for D-link. -
lol
hmm well for 40-50 (if i remmevber correctly) i can get onie of those netgear ones.
they look better and, from what your saying, are less troublesome
thanks! -
Exactly, you should be happy with it
Check the stickies though, they're helpfull. -
Avoid this router like the plague. It's cheap for a reason. I have one and it always seems to give me trouble. I've got everything from 2000ms ping in WoW to dropped connections. I wish my parents would have bought a quality router like a Linksys.

I had it and it worked OK for a few months. Then I got a real firewall and used it for a WAP and thats when it died. I would go for linksys or netgear over dlink.

Actually D-link has gotten alot better. There replacement for this one, the WBR-1310, is really good. I live in a large townhome complex and can recieve over 15 different signals. The Dlink has been perfect since ive bought it and there not that bad.
