Easy to use at low price.......2007-03-12

Easy to setup never had problem with this router. wireless range is perfect... LAN works very well and printer setup is very easy

They told me it can't be done........2007-01-20

I bought this router to use with a dialup connection. The support staff at verizon told me you can not hook up a router with dialup service it has to be DSL. So with a little i'll show you attitude, i purchased this router to prove them wrong. The router has performed flawlessly it was even working with three computer accessing the internet while i was on the phone with verizon cleaning up some settings on a fourth computer. So don't listen to the "experts" at the phone company and go for it. I will be purchasing more d-link equipment for all my networking needs.

Good but WEP problem intermittent.......2007-01-15

Works fine but from time to time the WEP encryption does not work between router and my wireless Linksys card and I need to disable WEP.

Good - but one VPN design issue.......2007-01-04

These small router/firewalls have become a real commodity lately. This unit has two features that separate it from the rest. The first feature is the print server, which works flawlessly for me. I have an old laser printer centrally located next to this router in my house, and all of my computers print to this. It's a good feature.

The second neat feature that this unit supports is built-in VPN functionality. Before I purchased this unit I had my old router configured to allow VPN pass-through to an old Windows 2000 computer in my house that was hosting VPN. I wanted to get rid of that old computer, so I purchased this.

Unfortunately, this VPN functionality has one flaw - computers that attach to the VPN (at least the PPTP server) are assigned to a separate subnet than the LAN that they are connecting to. This means that you have to use the "Use default gateway on remote network" setting, which in turn means no split tunneling. In other words, all of your traffic has to route through the VPN when connected. The only way around this is with a explicit "route add" command, which becomes a hassle. Granted, the VPN is still useable, but I use it less than I would because of this limitation. Other than this VPN problem, this is a good unit.

I've had this unit working flawlessly for the last 4 months at a client's site. It fulfilled the need of having a combined WAP and VPN Endpoint which was hard to find at the time. My major gripe was the lack of setting MAC security for wifi clients only. When enabled, it effects both WIFI and LAN clients no either or capability. Outside of that minor issue, it was a good purchase.
