D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615 vB2 Review

- The D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615 is among the least-expensive draft-n routers on the market and has a great feature set. Un­?fortunately it performed poorly on our speed and range tests.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Good Signal Strength, Cheap

    Weaknesses: Tech-Support, Not Easy To Install

    Overall Evaluation: The only good thing about this router is that once you get it to work it has a good signal strength. The set-up seems like it is easy but really that couldn't be farther from the truth. The tech-support is awful not to mention very difficult to understand. I managed to fix the problem of not being able to connect to the internet but now i am having difficulty connecting to my playstation 3. I tried calling tech-support again (got the same guy as last time i called)and was told that i needed to contact playstation. I would not recommend this product, it is not worth the headache. Your money would be better spent elsewhere.

    Strengths: computer seems to load faster at start up

    Weaknesses: Have never been able to wirelessly connect to the internet!

    Overall Evaluation: I have spent over twenty hours trying to get this thing working.Four hours on the phone with Customer Service provided no answers.FYI: D-Link Customer Support menu is VERY time consuming, wait, wait, wait, push buttons, wait, wait, wait, wait, push more button, listen, wait, wait, wait, finally get to speak with a customer service agent...I have updated firmware, downloaded things, changed settings, changed settings again...Computer says it's connected to the D-Link, but when I open a web page, it says "YOU MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET".Changed settings again and again and again.NOTHING works.I am somewhat good at making computers work correctly, and fix the problems Friends and Family have...This router is a GREAT dust collector, as for function, there has been NONE!This is the most FRUSTRATING and WORTHLESS computer accessory I have purchased.VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED with this purchase!I have spent hours reading forums and tried numerous "wireless wizards"...NO results, just OVERWHELMING FRUSTRATION!If anyone can offer any tangible advice I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!
