D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless Router |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: I have purchased and installed Several of these....
Comments: This is the BEST, and ONLY wireless router you should purchase. After NIGHTMARES with Netgear N wireless routers, and Tons of problems with Linksys, I tried on of these. Boy, it is like DAY and NIGHT!! 1st the Netgear Wireless (which use to be great) is now TOTAL JUNK, put your wireless netgear in the garbage. Also, Linksys is bad too. This Wireless router performed exellent in a variety of areas, with a variety of network cards. do not like like a Newbie and purchase a netgear or linksys, look like a genius when you purchase this 655. The speed is incredible through this thing, although my main concern was connectivity. Flawless all around, works with ever environment, and e card I threw at it. Works through walls. This is the new Defacto brand to purchase, do not purchase anything else however this router. As a matter of a fact, do not even purchase newer models of the D-Link unless they have reviews like this one!! I used to HATE wireless until I purchased this router, because I was tired of getting all the phone calls from employees who couldnt connect to our servers. Problem is solved now, never any calls, never any drops. Speed is INCREDIBLE!! Highly endorseed!! |

Summary: Review of D-Link DIR-655 (I know, a real original title...)
Comments: D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router DIR-655 - Wireless router + 4-port switch - EN, quick EN, Gigabit EN, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n (draft)
I purchased this Wireless router for use in my New basement apartment. So far, it has performed admirably. I have not had to restart / reset the unit in over a month of operation.
The Interface is relatively easy to use, and I had no issues setting up an encrypted wireless network.
The Gigabit switch is a definite plus over some competing products.
Overall, I am quite pleased and would have no problems endorseing this router to my friends and family. |

Summary: Bad product no support incompetent technology
Comments: Dlink DIR655 extreme N router doesn't work as advertised. Tech support
is uninformed, naive, and unfamiliar with technology. DMZ doesn't work.
Firewall is undefeatable. Packets on DMZ placed IP node are filtered.
UDMP multicasting disco protocols will not work properly on the LAN,
even with routers multicasting switches enabled. I am suspecting that the
Belkin product may be a better bet.
It's quick, however tech support on this product is about on the level of Linksys. . . which is to say . . . Godawful. . .

Summary: Ething I wanted from a router
Comments: Before this router I had a Linksys WRT54G running custom DD-WRT firmware for3years. The router eventually gave up after lots of peer-to-peer traffic, and I chose the D-Link DIR-655 to replace it.
Setup for the D-Link was absolutely basic. The web configuration interface is extensive and easy to understand. I was up and running in about5minutes out of the box. There are a couple of annoying screens, such as the static list of 50 or whatever port forwarding rules, however almost all of the interface is top notch.
As far as performance goes, the D-Link now has an uptime of1month, since I got it, and has successfully hosted multiple wireless laptops, peer-to-peer traffic, streaming of video from Netflix, online gaming, all without a hiccup. The range is excellent, too. I live on the fourth floor of an apartment building and my iPhone will stay connected and working as I walk down the stairs (through a couple of walls from the router) to the outside, and then as I walk around the building. Nice to have full connection when I am walking the dogs. :) |
