Will not entirely work with Windows 7 - Tech Support Horrible
USB port will not work with Windows 7.
D-Link tech support is horrible. I've been trying to get my printer set up with the usb in the router, without success. Read more

 Great Reception
Love this product. It is solid, doesn't need restarts every week. Wifi range is great, covers the whole 2-story house from the basement.

Not exactly what I expected.
The is good overall, the security is great, and the options are more than plenty. The only bad thing is, my connection is almost non-existent when using 1. Read more

Works as expected - So far so good
Was a good buy for the money. Works fine. Comes with a USB port on the back for connecting typical USB devices direct to the router so that you can share printers without having... Read more

 This review is from: D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Gigabit Wireless Router (Electronics)
Im sitting on this thing right now. Man oh man...im getting a "very good" signal where my connection used to be dropping...

I used to have a few problems with WiFi. The first problem was obviously the range...as I said a few moments ago, the DIR-655 fixed that...I mean, even though it claims 6x range, but I was going to be happy with just a 25% improvement...I seriously think that this router increased my range 50-75%!

I used to always be frustrated with the lack of settings in many routers. Some would have QoS (Quality of Service...something that can prioritize important internet activity like Voice Over IP...internet phone) but it didnt really work. Some would be lacking in semi-advanced routing features...others would barely have any non-novice features at all...This one has plenty of options for the advanced user to have a lot of fun screwing with settings. The most beautiful thing about it though, is that there is a wizard in the interface so that even the most novice of users can set up a great network with strong security. It also has context sensitive online help...what that is, is when you are trying to adjust settings and you dont know what something means, there is a little help button right there that you can click to get an explanation right then and there! Its kinda like the Yin-Yang of routers...

I want to mention that I have been looking at draft-N routers for a few weeks now and have been reading the reviews. The reason that I am writing this review is that it was so hard for me to find a good review on this router. Cnet doesnt even have an official review (as of 2/13/07) but it does have very positive user comments. From my homework though, (user reviews, and more importantly official reviews from Cnet, engadget, etc) every Draft-N wireless router has some kind of problem. Some dont work well in environments with more than a couple neighboring networks, some dont have good throughput, and some dont have better range. Again, I didn't want to buy this one because I couldn't find any solid review on it. After going through a couple of different Draft-N routers, Let me help you out. This is the one.

BTW...im not running an "N" wireless adapter...this thing even increases the range of "B" and "G" signals. GREAT JOB D-LINK!
