I bought this router to increase the range and speed at my office. The Linksys wireless G router I had was always very low in terms of signal strenth. The Gigabit router is about 6x (as advertised) better in my particular circumstances. from Amazon.com In shopping for a new wireless router, I tried to make sure to only get the product that gave me what I needed/wanted most at the best price and the rest was bonus. I always read a lot of reviews from many sites before buying something, and being an IT professional, it was easier for me to weed out the bad reviews for products, and at the end, I was left with the choice of the Dlink DIR 655 or Netgear 3500. from Amazon.com The setup was straight forward and took about 20 minutes to configure. It gives a strong connection throughout the house. We use it to link both a MacBook Pro and a PC (1) to the Internet, (2) to a wireless printer, and (3) to each other through Network Magic. The router is about 18 paces from the MacBook and the printer, and 15 paces from the PC. from Amazon.com I bought this product 2 months ago. In past, I used DIR-615 from D-Link. DIR-615 is bad. from Amazon.com our laptop sure seems accessing the the internet quicker. it has not failed in 3 weeks of use like our old router used to. one the coolest features is the usb port so you can create a wireless printer network with any printer. 2 thumbs up overall. from Amazon.com This router has many features and possible "tweeks". One of the greatest features is the share usb port. This can be used for a printer or hard drive that can be shared wiith any device on the network wirelessly. Also has many other features like in depth QOS settings, port forwarding, application rules and guest network. from Amazon.com Pros: The review of the DIR-655 on the home networking website SmallNetBuilder says it all: great internals and routing performance. Cons: Unfortunately, a router is only as good as its firmware allows it to be. from Newegg.com I replaced an old Linksys BEFW11S4 and cant believe i waited this long. The Dlink has been working perfectly and the speed of my downloads seems like its 4 times faster. If you are looking for a new wireless router this is the one to buy. from Amazon.com My first wireless router was a starter D-Link which was inexpensive. Didn't know the difference. from Amazon.com Dear D-Link, Please stop manufacturing this router. from Amazon.com
