Excellent Wireless N router!!! Easy to install and connect to........2007-04-02

I've used a Linksys and Netgear Wireless routers and the D-Link DIR-625 has been by far the best to install and connect to. I've connected all of my devices (Xbox 360, HP 2700 printer, and my work laptop) wireless without a hitch. I'm using Time Warner Roadrunner cable service. The Network Magic software was easy to use. I get full connection bars with my xbox 360 and my family room downstairs used to be a dead spot but with the DLink wireless router I get an EXCELLENT connection!

I got this and the RangeBooster is a lie. It has NOT boosted any kind of range on my network. It also goes in and out of service often. I wasted my money on this one.

Excellent router, great range, interface, packed with power features.......2007-03-08

I just replaced my semi-dysfunctional WRT54G Linksys router (2nd in a row) with this router, and I couldn't be happier. I've had several problems with the Linksys, and this router solved them all.

The web interface is easy to use, packed with features (such as auto-populating MAC address for assigning to a static IP on a LAN, support for DMZ, port forwarding, etc). The range is great - I previously needed extra antennae for Linksys to reach my living room, but this router reaches it just fine, with full strenght on my MacBook Pro.

If you need a powerful yet simple to use router - this one is great.

Highly recommended!

Zero problems. Clear, easy to understand interface. Great wireless performance.

Incredible range and strength.......2006-07-12

I've had this product for about a month. I did a lot of research, reading up on the technology and the reviews before I bought this router, and it won by default, because I wanted the new, longer-range 802.11n (draft) technology and all the reviews on existing products with "n (draft)" were just terrible, but this product was too new to have any reviews!

OK, not great reasoning on my part, but the other piece of my thinking was that maybe the latest to market had more time to correct the bugs of the other products...

Score! D-Link got it right with this baby.
It did take a while to get it set up, but I've found that's true of most wireless routers. Read the documentation carefully, follow the directions carefully, and then call tech support when it doesn't work!

But the D-Link support was helpful and got me through the problems. Oddly, it didn't seem to work consistently for the first day after setup and then it somehow just settled down, like it decided it liked this place or something. (It may also have been that I was actually too close to the router. It doesn't work well within about 6 feet.) After that first day, I haven't had one time-out, no need to re-boot, and no oddly lowered signal strength like I've experienced on other routers. I took my laptop outside and went for a walk with it and I live in the middle of the block and was able to get acceptable signal on either corner, half a block away! Across the street was a breeze.

Location matters. The manual says to pay attention to physical barriers and place the router so that the signal goes through them on the way to a receiver at close to a 90 degree angle, because a smaller angle means the signal has to travel through a lot more solid material. I also think setting it up on end in the stand that is included helped a little. Do try several different locations. I should also note that I bought this with a D-Link cable modem Model DCM-202 and they seem to work well together. I have NOT bought an "n" adapter card for my laptop, so all this great reception is with a "g" class adapter. Using an N-draft adapter should improve signal even more.

Note: don't be fooled by earlier "n compatible" routers. They aren't. If they don't say "n (draft)" then they WON'T be compatible with the final N standard, due out late this year or next year. Draft N routers should be compatible, but there are no guarantees.

I bought this to get the extra range and signal strength, and I'm glad I did, but don't get too excited about the extra speed, because your "high-speed" broadband provider is a bottleneck, unless you have fiber-optic to the door! The draft n standard is good for over 100 mbps, but I have the fastest Comcast cable service available and it's 8 mbps! The only thing the extra speed of the router is good for is transfering data over your own internal network. If you have to swap huge video files and the like between computers on your own home network, then you'll appreciate the extra speed, but you won't notice anything on the Internet.
