first d-link router ever!

I have purchased at least 7-8 linksys routers in the past and they were great until the last one, ea2700 which I purchased two of them (myself and somebody else) and let me tell you. the worst purchase ever, since I have new AC devices at the house decided to give this little guy a go and let me tell you. it impressed me! downloading files on the 5ghz AC at ~30 to 32MB/s (ACROSS THE APARTMENT!!). This is going thru 2 walls and this is the slowest connection I have seen. I have had it for about 2 weeks now and have yet to restart the device once!

I purchyased the DIR-655 along with the various D-Link adapters (DWA-652 for notebooks and DGE-530T for desktops).  Prior to that I had a Netegear 624 G running at 108 mps.  Before that I ran a Netgear B router so I have run a number of routers.  Plus I have set up other types of routers for other people.  This Dlnk equipment is giving me great speeds.  My 2 notebooks going through about 4 walls gives me 300 mps.  The desktops are giving me 1 gbs.  I did have to update the firmware when I got it because it was not displaying my wireless devices correctly.  Very easy to do this upgrade with this router.  Function is built in.  Setting up wireles security, which you absolutely neeed was also a snap.  It was very easy to install.

I would absolutely recommend it, but buy the entire package including the adapters.  It did work fine with my G adapters, but you get so much more speed from the N adapters.

Now were talking.  Affordable, multi-ports and easy to install thanks to Mary from D-Link!  I thought that I had no choice but to go with a Wi-Fi Router for ever which cost me high dollars from Windstream.  I did not want a Wi-Fi router but for years dealt with it even though I used it for Ethernet only.  Many people are waking up to the detriment of Wi-Fi in our airwaves and the effect it has on humans and all living things not to mention demise of the Bees and Butterflies.  It ceases life one by one.  Wi-Fi also has the worst ability to send and receive data not to mention is 100% open to all to tap into for confidential info.  Thank you D-Link for understanding this new alert and offering a true hard wire Ethernet Router.  You made it possible for all of us to continue to use the internet safely.  Mary from D-Link, Agent # AR004217 wins the prize in assisting me with the install of this new little unit.  My case # with D-Link is C66686109 and a very proud customer.  Thank you Amazon and D-Link!

I grew tired of my D-link extender (recommended for U-verse by AT&T) continually needing to be reset so I decided to give this one a shot. Easy setup, improved range, and no resets. Thank you Netgear!

i ordered this because i recently built a laptop and i wanted to be able to connect to my network without having to be tied down by a cable.  my current network is hard wired, so i needed an access point.  i stayed with D-Link since my router is D-Link.  the only difficulty i had with this device was properly setting up the security for the wireless port.  no worries at all otherwise.  i barely had to look at the user manual.  i plugged it into the wall, connected to the router, enabled my laptops wireless port and boom, off i went.  i did not have to upgrade the firmware as i did on the router.  overall, i am very happy with this product so far.

I found the setup to be really easy and I am getting great speeds.  I lived in a condo building with densely packed wifi networks, and the previous tenants reported lousy speeds.  I bought this router with the hope of leveraging the 5 GHz band, and it has worked wonderfully.  The Netgear Genie app shows how crowded the 2.4 GHz band is (I saw 10 networks on a single channel!).  On the 5 GHz band the software automatically selected the least crowded channel (1 other network with only 1 other network in each of the adjacent bands).  Its the fastest internet Ive ever experienced.  Bravo!  Great for the price.  Easy setup too.

This is an absolutely phenomenal WiFi router!!! My office was using an old Linksys b/g router and speeds were slower than molasses. After doing extensive research I decided on this router. I am using it as an access point only (simply a box to take my existing hardwired network and provide wireless access to it). Since I am not using this as a router, I will not be commenting on the routing features (DHCP, Port passthrough, etc), however the interface for these things is very nice and appears to give you a high degree of control.

The range of the router is phenomenal. It blankets my entire office (which is quite large) with a very strong signal. We are on the third floor of a building. I have WiFi from our office in the parking lot.

The speed is unbelievable. I am getting internet speeds of 50mbps down/25mpbs up without any problem over this WiFi! Local network transfers that used to take multiple hours now a few minutes.

The setup is very easy.

I was so pleased with this router as an access point that I purchased a second one for my home. I highly recommend this router to anyone who is looking into a draft ac router/access point.

Just installed this router to replace a basic consumer tp-link. I used to build network gear so it wasn't bad at all for me to configure but definitely not for the novice. I didn't do scientific testing but it's way faster than the TP-link basic router. With a ubiquity LR access point and Comcast basic tier service on a Motorola DOCSIS 3, speedtest is showing between 50-90mpbs. Pretty good especially since the AP link is 100mbps ethernet.

For those of you that want a quick primer on setting this up as a simple SOHO nat router, here's what you do.

1. Go to the ubiquity site and download new firmware (I have 1.7)
2. Connect eth0 on the router to your computer
3. configure your computer interface to 192.168.1.10 and network to 192.168.1.0 router to 192.168.1.1
4. open browser to 192.168.1.1
5. update firmware from the file you downloaded
6. restart router
7. set user passwords, time zone
8. set switch mode on eth0, eth1, eth2, eth4  switch0  (I did this on the CLI - not sure if there is a menu item)
9. set eth3 to dhcp address
10.. set address on switch0 to 192.168.1.0/24
11.  reconnect computer to eth1 and restart browser connection
12.  turn on dhcp server on switch0 - set pool address range
13. add  SOURCE nat rule with eth0 masquerading and translate on switch0  (no other rules needed)
14  turn on DNS forwarding on switch0
15. optional: set firewall rules
16  optional: turn on POE passthru on eth4 (I have it on to drive the Ubiquity AP with 24V)
17. connect cable modem/dsl to eth3, clients use eth0, eth1, eth2 and eth4

That's it.

Setup was a snap. Took it out of the box, downloaded the latest driver from the D-link website and attached it to my wireless network without a problem. In terms of setup/configuration, it has been the easiest wireless adapter I've ever used. Range is excellent too. I may have avoided problems others have experienced by downloading the latest driver from the website, as opposed to using the one included on the CD.

Simple & The FASTEST ROUTER I HAVE EVER HAD!

Go GOOGLE

Let me start by saying that I do not consider myself a home networking rookie, I've set up a plethora of routers in my day. This router was extremely easy to set up, I just followed the quickstart guide that came with the router. I did run into some annoying hiccups however.

1. This was definitely my fault - I named the 2.4ghz band and the 5ghz the same exact name, so my devices were only able to see one of them, which one it saw, i'm not sure. So when you set up your network make sure to name each band something different, for example I named them something like this "mynetwork 2.4" and "mynetwork 5".

2. Major issues connecting the xbox via wi-fi - Out of the box I wasn't able to connect my xbox 360 via wi-fi. After some google searches i learned that I had to do a firmware update. Which I can't see a novice knowing how to do. Anyways, I went to the asus website and downloaded the latest firmware and BAM! Xbox worked like a charm.

3. After the firmware upgrade my 5ghz band that my ipad is connected to became extremely unreliable. I did some google searches and found that the latest firmware upgrade has 5ghz band issues ARG! Finally I came upon the Merlin Firmware for Asus routers and used that, now everything is in working order.

I'm not sure if my experience is typical, i'm just the type of person where everything has to work perfectly. I want my download speeds to be consistent across most of my devices, which i eventually achieved with the N66u, just took me some time.

Oh, one more thing, the range is INCREDIBLE.

I purchased this product about 6 months ago. The cisco 4200 router I had wasn't pushing enough signal to get from my computer room/office to the living room where I have a smart TV. The D-Link Range Extender worked great! Set-up was easy (my router has a WPS button on it) and within 15 minutes I was able to stream movies from my PC straight to my smart TV. My kids used the D-link connection to connect their Wii game player. The game room is a good 300 feet away from my computer room/office. They were able to get a connection before I installed the D-link extender but the connection was unstable. Using the D-link connection we were able to use the NetFlix feature of the wii and were never able to do that without the extender.

Sounds great right??

Now for the bad news!

I came home from work yesterday to my wife saying, "the internet was down". She had grown accustomed to using the d-link connection on her iPad to play Candy Crush. If you're addicted to Candy Crush you will understand why this was an emergency. I noticed that my Cisco router wireless signal was still available and my office computer was working fine. The d-link signal was not available. I unplugged the D-link and walked through the setup again (luckily I saved the box and the instructions) only to discover the d-Link was dead.

My D-Link died after 6 flawless months. Has anyone else had this same problem?

BTW: My wife can get her Candy Crush fix again as, she just has to play in a place closer to the Cisco router.

Old DLINK router finally died on me. Was looking at Netgear or Belkin but after sales pitch at local retail store (same price as Amazon) - I decided to pony up a bit more $$$ for the Apple product. Honestly couldn't be happier with the purchase! Super clean design flows well with our floating TV stand and looks great. Setup was by FAR the easiest router I have used and was up and running on all devices in 5 minutes. Signal strength & speed is much faster and I'm finally able to get strong signal on our 2nd floor. Price was a bit more than I wanted to pay but the product so far has really delivered.

When an older router died, I was attracted to this model because it worked with Vista, claimed a signal strength that would cover my house and was available at a good price. Once at home, I was even more impressed with the sheer ease of installation. All hardware manufacturers (including DLink on some of its other products)should follow this example. Every step was crystal clear and in minutes my network was created, named, secured, and joined by my variety of wireless gadgets. I have found the signal strength improved over my old G router and even though I have no other N devices and won't get N speeds until I do, the better signal srength is a real plus.

This is my 4th router 3 of which were Linksys. from the 54g to 600n. Last one was a D-Link.

I wanted an open source device as I have re-purposed the 600n as a bridge. I also wanted more speed.
The WRT1900AC device speedup all devices on the network. But unless your WiFi device is AC capable you will not see
the full speed potential. The biggest plus was the ease of the install. I chose the manual route and not the wizard.
And even at that, setup was a breeze. In less than 2 hours my network was changed over. Was the easiest install I
have ever had. But time will tell if any bugs show up. Almost forgot, new firmware downloaded and installed also automatically.
Any major issues that may arise I will be back for an update to this post

I have this as my main router hanging off my fios router. Very easy to setup and the gui is easy to navigate. Love that it supports ddwrt right out the box!

Wireless AC speeds however don't seem to be as fast as they should be but i'm not sure at the moment if that is because of the router of because of the end devices.

Awesome router. First time I've been able to change the SSID and key from an app on my phone! What a dream!
