Marketing claims of 6X and 14X are slightly deceptive
The USB port is completely useless
Only one computer can access a shared drive or pri
Abstract: Draft N is all the buzz around the WiFi circles, and manufacturers are pushing their early products onto store shelves despite the constant technical changes to the new unapproved draft. Although early product releases incorporating the 802.11n draft...

The DIR-655 router didn’t prove completely up to my expectations. For a top-end model, it lacks functionality. For devices of this class it is not enough to boast high potential due high-quality onboard controllers: this potential needs to be proper...

The D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router displayed lightning-fast performance in short-range and mixed-mode tests; it offers Gigabit LAN ports and the latest in wireless security.
Very expensive; based on an unfinished spec.
The D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router is the fastest weve seen, but were still reluctant to recommend it as its based on an unfinished wireless spec. Price range: $89.82 - $149.99
Fast (thanks to Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports) and feature-rich.
Confusing Web administration interface.
This fast wireless router comes with Gigabit LAN ports and has many features, including QoS monitoring, but the complex interface may intimidate some....
New looks, excellent performance, Gigabit Ethernet.
No WPS support on the client (yet), minor setup glitches. Article appeared originally on WiFi Planet.com.
First, and probably most noticeably, D-Link has given the DIR-655 a fresh new look. The DIR-655 has a white case and a black trim band that wraps around the case. Even the three antennas are white. Though the case tooling is almost identical to the to...
Abstract: D-Link Xtreme N Router versus Apple AirPort Extreme N base station My main disappointment with the new Apple AirPort Extreme 802.11n Base Station is that it does NOT support Gigabit Ethernet. Thats a key omission since there are many "pro" Macs that...
