What our customer's say!

"Very mitigated", First of all, I'd suggest not to use the wizard provided for Windows. Didn't work for me. What was supposed to be a breeze and 10 minutes setup with the wizard, ended up taking in reality much longer. I recommend personally to hit the web interface directly.

Although I was pleased with the Ethernet 1Gbit connectivity, and the direct close wireless access 802n connectivity with my MacBook pro, that was a totally different ball game when crossing 2 walls. My windows XP laptop would drop connections all the time. My old NetGear never had that issue, which really irritated me.

Took me multiple tweaks and resets from both the router and the laptop sides, and maybe a week of disgruntled googling to get it right. I think that the orientation of the laptop itself (a Compaq 6510b) made a great difference. Although negotiating 802g only, it's finally very stable. Was very critical for me to get this working since I'm using VPN for work, and communication drops were more than just annoying.

I was about to return the item to Amazon when I finally got things right. Since I got a great deal on this device, I am planning to keep it. Not sure I would go for this product if I had known in advance that the communication through walls could be such a problem.





"Works Great", I have never installed a wireless router before. I used the wizard on the software CD and it installed very easy, I am using the Vista Ultimate 64 byte OS which is updated. My cable modem [Motorola Surfboard sbv5222] with phone service, download speed is 10 Mbps. It getting 130mbps to the USB adapter on the XP computer upstairs. I would highly recommend to friend. I am very pleased with this DIR-655 N router it performs as claimed.

"d-link owes me headache meds", level: career techie (not IT guy)
equipment: (old) Netgear 108Mbps router, (antique) Linksys 10/100 wired router
Problem: Failing G router (weekly reboots), no wireless on antique router, Desire for Gigabit and N router in a mixed network. D-link priced right but reviews suggest hit/miss w/ product.

Pros: Setup on Mac took 3 minutes, unpacking time took longer. Already knew about device/setup IP conflict prior to purchase. Lots of config settings. Has everything, does everything (almost). Once FINALLY setup, the unit performs well. Still get 60% N signal at 80ft (4 walls + ceiling/floor). Nothing to compare it to so I guess it's ok (laptops were new and not tested on the netgear). Owned unit since Nov 2007, solid performer.

Cons: 1. The install. PITA!!!!! Install disc is worthless (firmware 1.10) and the Auto Wizards are useless. EQ: Mac OS 10.2.8, XP Pro, Win2k, Vista (laptops Dell & HP), Samba (LaCie) NAS box. Wouldn't recognize everything 100% (ie. able to access NAS settings via web browser but unable to access files on the NAS). Wasted 2 weekends entering settings and MAC addresses manually. Was about to return it for a TrendNet but gave it one last try. Final attempt starting again w/ Mac only. Slowly, re-introduced NAS, and other PCs to network and it was fine.. No changes in settings/procedure, nothing. Go figure ~_~ .
2. Unlabeled BLUE LEDs are ridiculously bright. I hate blue LEDs.

Other Thoughts: Replaced a good but failing netgear 108Mbps router. Have not done any speed tests. Would much rather have gold LEDs fad than the current blue LED fad. Also, given the install, no consideration was given to the usb port. A network printer was later added as a standalone unit onto the network (neither attached to the router or NAS).

"Doesn't work. Customer support no help.", This router has caused me much grief. It is supposed to interoperate with older G and B wireless adapters, but it doesn't.

I have 3 machines in my house, all wireless. One desktop and two laptops. Only the newer Dell laptop works with this router. In fact "works" is really stretching it.

After over an hour on the phone with tech support, the problem he claimed would be fixed was not. The router drops connections regularly on the new Dell and does not connect at all with the other 2 machines.

In a final attempt to get the thing to work, I updated the firmware to version 1.20 from the dlink website, only to find out that it made the situation worse AND when I went back to the website to look again, the 1.20 firmware had been pulled and was no longer available. Dlink knows they have a problem interoperating with older wireless adapters, and are trying to fix the situation.

So, bottom line is: don't waste your time! It *may* work for you, but this was a disaster and a waste for me. Buyer beware.

Avoid this product.

"D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N wireless router", I replaced a Linksys Wireless G router which was just not getting the job done. My home network is on two different floor levels and at opposite ends of a fairly large house. The D-Link DIR-655 signal is making the trip with no problems. Installation was quick, simple and actually worked the first time. I would highly recommend with the caveat to shop around for the best price available....got mine from Amazon.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Great, reliable product with all the features you'd want", I bought the DIR-655 on an advice from a friend and was not disappointed one bit. It's been over a month since I got it and I've had no issues with it whatsoever.
Configuration process was easy. Advanced features are easy to access and can allow for some great modifications. Data transfer performance is good. Wireless range is great, I get reception everywhere in the house and backyard (unit is in upstairs office on opposite side of house).
Great buy you will not regret.

"Very Satifistied much better than Linksys", I have using this product for past 2 months and extremely happy. Very easy setup procedure. I have used Linksys 802.11G router in past, it used to work fine but there were lot of dropped connection and i have reboot my router every 6-7 days. I wondered it may be natural until i bought this one. And believe me this has been amazing experience. Never once my Skype Phone (CIT400) has dropped connection. I still have wireless G which appears to perform at least 1.5 times faster than earlier router. I am thinking to buying 802.11N (draft) adapter to realize full potential of this router. It is highly recommended to buy this one.
Cons:
Lot of lights on this router which sometimes annoys.

"BEST HIGH-TECH WI-FI ROUTER FOR YOUR MONEY", OK Folks,

first-off, let me say that I have never owned a wi-fi router before. And recently I purchased my wifey-poo a top-o-dee-line laptop - so a wi-fi router was gonna be added to our computer gadgets.

Being the computer geek that I am, I went to a few different "techie places" to see what was the hottest think out on the market in regards to wi-fi routers. And "Lo and Behold...this one kept on popping up.

During this searching process, I learned that the "N" series of wi-fi routers are the newest craze in technology. (Beating out the "B" and "G" series routers in power/distance, download speeds, and technology).

Anyhoo, to make a long story short, we purchased the router and could not be happier. I have it set-up in my office, which is where the main PC is located. The office also happens to be situated right in between the bedrooms and the living-room and kitchen areas.

It has perfect reception everywhere in our house. Everywhere we go, the signal strength is "maxed out".

Now let me be quite frank here. I also have a high end Cisco firewall router. And because of that, and never having owned a wi-fi router before...the installation kinda through me for a loop. I think it took me a little longer than normal to hook it up, and it's working fine. But when I have a little free time, I will need to recheck everything to make sure it is set-up correctly - with all the passwords and security defenses in place.

Like I said before...so far I am very happy with it.

Pricewise, Amazon.com has it the cheapest. And Amazon.com is also a reputable seller, so I'd go with them if you want to mail order it at a great price. Ourselves...we found it on sale at Circuit City $99.00. It was a few dollars more, but we had it in our hands immediately.

Bottom line, I would recommend this router. In it's specs, it beats every other router out in the market for speed of download, power, and distance.

"Very stable router, good aesthetic design", A few months ago, I had been looking for a stable router that can decently broadcast a wifi signal in a 2-story building with the router being on the second floor and the computers on the first floor (with numerous walls in between). Prior to this router, I tried using the stable Linksys WRT54G router coupled with a few WRE54G range extenders however the range extenders proved to be too difficult to install and maintain (frequent rebooting). Next, I tried a Linksys SRX400 Mimo-G router which was a little better although the signal was still too weak on the first floor (~30% signal).

Finally, with this D-Link N router, I'm able to maintain about 60-65% signal and about 36 Mbps. The computers on the first floor all use the D-Link USB 2.0 802.11n Adapter USB adapter. Although the signal isn't as strong as I'd like it to be, the router is VERY stable (hasn't needed a reboot and hasn't crashed in the 5 months that it's been installed). Surfing/downloading/uploading has been smooth.

Installing this router was fairly easy. If you have prior experience with setting up routers, this D-Link should be a breeze. The only downside I can find for this router is that whenever the router requires a reboot (after a change in settings), the reboot may take a little longer than other models (up to 1 minute sometimes).

To improve the wireless signal, I found that utilizing a D-Link 7700AP access point will increase the signal to about 75%. Using a Hawking HSB2 Hawking HiGain Signal Booster version 2 - HSB2 increases the signal to about 85-90%. Further adding a TRENDnet 14 dBi Outdoor High Gain Directional Antenna brings our wireless signal to 100% (although the Trendnet antenna must be placed carefully for optimal coverage). While our day-to-day usage doesn't really necessitate a 100% signal (75% seems to be sufficient), it's good to know that this router can be enhanced with third-party antennas and boosters if it is necessary (and still remain stable).

"OK Router - Horrendous support.", The router is okay - nothing special about it.

God help you if it's broken or you have trouble however. D-Link might list their support contact #s everywhere but it's a nightmare. Expect the following:
1) Annoyed overworked underpaid condescending Indian Tech support - they can help you if and only if their checklist tells them what to do. You don't get true english speaking techs who know anything about networking until "tier 2". Expect to give out your name, phone number, router number, router serial at least twice before reaching one of them.
2) "Lost connections" during the long holding times. Plenty of connections before you end up anywhere halfway productive.
