D-Link DGL-4500 or D-Link DGL-4300: hi everybody the think is 4500 is the newer product but sometimes they take a good product make a new one but its actually worse then the original the question is above which one do you should I buy ?

I have the 4300 and I have had no problems with it. Ever. I bought it when it first came out and it works great. I am looking to upgrade but only because I want more than 4 ports or the ability to use the new wifi technology. Works very will with my Wii via wifi, and my network drive and pcs have no problems either. And then I noticed the post I just responded to was almost 2 years old. :)

I too have used Linksys products and am very happy with the preformance. In my opinion Belkin is a low quality product. If you want to save some $$ try using a D-link or NetGear product. They are not as good as Linksys but will last you a few years.

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately I have already returned the DIR 655. Secure Spot....Hmmmm. Not quite sure what that is. Unfortunate that when I contacted D-Link about the problem that they did not mention this. Seems odd that the router would work with all of the computers on the wireless network, but would not work with the BD 390. Oh well, guess I will purchase another router and try again.Thanks again

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

The GL has a more powerful processor. But the best part is the gl led lights flicker when transmitting while the 750 gust glows solid green. I highly recommend the 750gl over the 750.

This product or the D-Link DWA 160 will give you an additon channel, especially for large downloads like 30GB games. It does improves the speed of tranferring large amounts of data. Normal Wi-Fi you may not notice the difference. I use 3 D-Links plus my built in Wi-Fi- and also your router must support 5GHZ to take full effect of this device.

The Dwa 160 is not worth buying... I honestly believe it won't work. I'm using it now on XP and I'm totally disappointed with it. It works alright for maybe around month but then It frequently disconnects and then it starts to goes on a disconnect and connect loop every 10 seconds. It causes Blue Screen of Death Errors.. I been trying to play Max Panye(PC) and it kept crashing to the BSOD every three minutes and I been trying to figure out why thanks to the game I was able to find out DWA-160 was causing Blue Screen Errors to my computer for the past 3 months when I bought the Adapter 5 months ago. When I removed it the game started working fine. It repeatably disconnects and pop up a annoying window when trying to play a PC game(not a online game) or download something over 20mbs or trying to watch a video.

I received the same information from Linksys, namely, that they didn't know if the WRE54G will work with the WRT160N. However, in chatting with the technician I mentioned I'm only using "G" and had disabled the "N" channel on setup of the WRT460N. He said this might work so I've ordered one. Check back with me in about 10 days and I'll let you know how I made out. Email: wwgorman@msn.com

If you want to use 2.0 then I would buy one that is 2.0 and save a few dollars. This is faster and I would use 3.0 and get the better speeds, myself.

I really can't advise you on the D-Link DWL-AG530. However it was recommend to me for a non D-Link product and I saw no boost at all. If you buy it from Amazon and it does not work, it's easy to send back for a refund. I wouldn't waste money on this antenna.

Our original DLP link glasses went through several generations (1, 2, 3, 3.5 etc). However, we discovered that every time we upgraded the firmware, it corrected existing issues, but introduced new problems with other systems. We restarted from the ground up and created our new glasses- the Firestorm LTs and the Firestorm XLs. Both are compatible with ALL DLP link 3D systems. There is only one version of each since there are no compatibility issues. They work great with 96 hz projectors (Vivitek), 144 hz (Benq) and 120 hz (Optoma, ViewSonic, Mitsubishi and nearly every other brand). Hope this helps!

Certainly the GL is a better model, but unless users really want to hack their routers and don't care if they void the warranty, this version (v5-v7) is good enough for most purposes.I would go to the Linksys website and get the latest firmware, and possibly upgrade the antennas if necessary.

I just opened the box and saw that it's a V1. I fully expected that the V1 stock had run out from Netgear by now and they would be refurbishing V2's only. But this DealFisher must still have some old V1's to move out. So it is luck of the draw. I'm debating about keeping since that price is so low compared to new V2. And eventually, I'll upgrade one of these to a Nighthawk R6 or something that really has lot more power. It's only the farthest corner of my house that could use the Beamforming benefit. Also, I have no need of the USB 3.0 since I don't attach a hard drive or printer to these routers. I just opened the box and saw that it's a V1.

I was wondering the same question (560 vs. 460). In reviewing the product descriptions it would appear that the 560 does not have Nexflix (or other online streaming) capabilities. Can someone confirm that this HAS been added to the 560? Thank you in advance...

Great. Thank you! Did you get a chance to ask them why L32D1120 is now shown on their website? It's weird.

WTL -- how do you know from the pcmag link that amazon is selling the G version? I read that same article, which is how I know to look for the newer version, but all I can find is the warning about 3rd party sellers (which Amazon would be considered, no?). Any help? Thanks!

DLP link is more widespread - many projectors use DLP link. 3DRF is less common. The big advantage is RF does not need a line of sight. DLP link needs either a direct line of sight or bounce off the screen. This is usually not a problem for most people. RF can connect from anywhere in the room. There is absolutely no quality difference in the technology - if one pair of glasses is better than the other, it is strictly the manufacturer of the glasses and has nothing to do with RF or IR (DLP link)
