Abstract: D-Link and just about every other wireless networking manufacturer has begun producing wireless 802.11n routers using the Draft-N standard. The Draft-N standard provides users with blazing fast speeds, way faster than 802.11b/g and almost 2X farther ra...
Abstract: Now that draft-802.11n wireless routers are becoming more prevalent we're also finally seeing the move to Gigabit Ethernet as well. Netgear's RangeMax WRN854T was the first to deliver high speed network ports and now its D-Links turn with its new RangeBoo...
Abstract: The specifications and features speak for themselves. D-Link managed to bring an extremely innovative networking solution for people seeking to improve their current or upcoming network for under $200$. Whether you are trying to get maximal performanc...

Abstract: Last fall, I reviewed the top-of-the-line D-Link RangeBooster N 650 router. I loved all of the configuration options, the configurable QoS engine, and the extensive list of preconfigured applications in the port forwarding setup. My unfulfilled wish wa...

Abstract: While some of the routers on test look like props from a sci-fi show, D-Link’s design is more sedate. The DIR-655 is fairly compact and its flashing blue LEDs are more discreet than others, which practically light up the room. A wall-mounting ki...
Its 802.11 draft-n performance was fast, we didnt have to fiddle with the default settings in order to get smooth wireless networking performance, it performed well when 802.11g and 802.11 draft-n clients were connected simultaneously
It doesnt have print or file server functions built in, its Web interface could be a little better, it could use more comprehensive keyword filtering options The Final Word All up, we didnt have to fiddle with this routers settings at all, apart fro...
