  Strengths: none!

  Weaknesses: everything!

  Overall: this seems to be the cheap way out. i bought mine at staples cause the guy told me it was a good router! yeah right! it worked for about 3 months. i got it so that me and my wife could both use our laptops and now only one computor can go online at a time! i might as well of stayed with hard wire !!! they should sell them for 2.99$,cause theire disposable! i would not recomend this product to anyone

  Strengths: Strong

  Weaknesses: Drops out connection when wireless at about 10 meters

  Overall: WORKS GREAT FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS ON WIRELESS NETWORKING NOW IT KICKS MY COMPUTER OFF RANDOMLY WHENEVER IT WANTS TO SAYING INVALID IP ADDRESS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO AS IT SEEMS TO BE CONFIGURED RIGHT AND THE SUPPORT AND KNOWLEDGE YOU GET FROM D-LINK IS CRAP I RATHER TALK TO A MONKEY OR A WALL I WOULD GET BETTER KNOWLEDGE.

  Strengths: Wep work work well with non-dlink wireless adapters N wireless

  Weaknesses: WPA/WP2 doesn't work well - At start up, windows can't log in due to router need to be reset - Advance feature somewhat work - hard to set up even with cd and firmware update

  Overall: -Bad network since can't use n feature if wpa/wp2 doesn't work on daily bases. -Router setting hard to set -constant reset of router -Range is horrible depend on wireless adapter I could continue but it's a cheap router. Good for basic G Internet and low on funds but another router would be recommended if wanting to use more wireless features.

  Strengths: Good Signal Strength, Cheap

  Weaknesses: Tech-Support, Not Easy To Install

  Overall: 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: 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!!!
