    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Signal strenght for 11Mbps throughput. 256-bit WEP is awesome.

    Weaknesses: NONE.

    Overall Evaluation: This was my first Dlink wireless router. With this one i had to update the firmware because of intermittent connection problem. Still working fine as a spare.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: parential controls

    Weaknesses: very poor wireless range.

    Overall Evaluation: I have had very poor wireless reception unless the recieving computer was in the same room. Read some review and bought the extended range antenna, $30+, that didn't help. Bought the dlink dwl-800ap+ wireless repeater for $80. Wireless performance still sucks. Dlink web site and telephone support are very poor. Instructions on setting up the wireless repeater are very poor. I suggest you buy a Linksys or Netgear wireless unit. I can pick up a Netgear wireless network across the street and down 2 houses better than I can in my own house.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Easy to setup; Easy to maintain

    Weaknesses: Not enough administrative features

    Overall Evaluation: This router is pretty good for the price. But, I would still prefer a linksys router anyday. This router had no problems for me except that it sometimes would drop packets spontaneously. All in all, a good router for the price. If you've got some extra cash, spend it on a Linksys.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: cheap initially but not worth it when it died and I had to buy another.

    Weaknesses: Crappy product. Lasted 2 months and died. D-Link refused to reimburse. Do not buy D-link products, they are poorly made.

    Overall Evaluation: Crappy product. Lasted 2 months and died. D-Link refused to reimburse. Do not buy D-link products, they are poorly made.would not connect and messed up my computer to boot. Spent days on phone with tech support to get connected at all and they were all 17 year olds reading off a computer screen, completely useless.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: strong signal, good looks, fairly easy setup.

    Weaknesses: their tech support sucks, I called on three different occasions and ended up getting it fixed by myself and long hours of troubleshooting. They seemed to wanna just get to the next call.....

    Overall Evaluation: After last night I am really amazed with this router. My friends girlfriend is in the same apt complex and she has been dealing with dial up for a long time. He suggested we try one of my D-link wireless cards (DL 520+) down the other side of the apts at his girlfriends apt. I set the card up in his new computer I built thinking it was a waste of time. Boy was I wrong!!! this puppy has some range!!! And now I have probably talked them out of paying for dial-up and getting their internet thru me!!!! I might be able to do my whole apt complex!!! kirby @kirbyflys2@hotmail.com
