The editors didn't like

  • Low functionality of the USB port
  • Impractical surface material
  • Poor thermal contact of the heatsinks with the components they cool
  • Gets very hot at work

  • 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

  • While its drive and printer sharing features have serious limitations, the D-Link DIR-655 would be one of our top picks even without them, thanks to its low price, great performance, easy setup, and handy guest access mode. Becky Waring Lowest online ...

  • Compact design
  • Poor Mac support
  • Unfortunately, things went downhill from that point onwards. In order to set up a password to protect your new wireless network you have to configure the router through its built-in webpage. However, that webpage didn’t work properly with the Safari...

  • Feature rich, Fast, Superb interface
  • No 5GHz support, Cable modem only
  • Our love affair with the DIR-655 in its many model variations continues with this latest release. Its not the first router to offer 802.11n Draft 2 compliance, but it does add a wealth of new features to the package to set it apart from the competitio...

  Published: 2007-04-18, Author: Chris , review by: expertreviews.co.uk

  • Abstract:  D-Link's RangeBooster N 650 is a Draft-N router with an integrated Gigabit switch rather than the 10/100 switches built into most. It's compact and feels well made. The setup wizard clearly explains how to connect the router physically, and lets you set ...

  • Great file transfer speeds, Very good signal throw, Simple UI
  • Expensive
  • We divided our tests into two sections. In the first we took two different directories of files of around 4GB each and simply transferred them to a desktop with D-link’s DWA-547 and a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Draft-N capabilities. The second set of t...

  • richesse du paramétrage, utilisation possible en VoIP et en multimédia, indications en français, régularité du signal, compatible WPS, création de serveurs virtuels, routeur gigabit.
  • faible puissance du signal, débit peu élevé, latence, installation peu conviviale.
  • le routeur DIR-655 nest pas le routeur offrant le débit le plus élevé ou le meilleur signal malgré sa conformité avec le standard 802.11n. Pourtant, il compense en régularité et en richesse de paramétrage. Il sadresse donc plutôt aux PME qui désirent...

  • La compatibilité 802.11b, g et prén, Les débits et la couverture théoriques, La fonction de qualité de service, Le design
  • Rien
  • Annoncée, puis reportée, puis réannoncée, puis lancée par Intel, comme pour débloquer la situation, voici la nouvelle norme Wi-Fi 802.11n enfin intégrée dans un routeur. Pas de miracle toutefois, cest bien sa version préliminaire ou pré-n qui équipe l...
