D-Link Wireless-N Router with 4-Port Switch
However, if you have a minimum of halfasscomputerskills, dump the setup disc and the idiotic instructions and just follow your instincts. Seriously, this is the WORST product I have ever dealt with as far as making a very simple setup seem like nuclear physics final. The paint by numbers installation disc is just plain moronic, poorly written, and totally confusing. It even instructs you to "install this disc in all computers on your network." HUH!!!!!!! There's nothing to install, there is NO install.....there's no friggin INSTALL!!!!!!!!!

The setup is simple, just dont read the Quick Start guide and for gods sake just take that disc and crush it with a hammer. Well after you copy the User Guide that is, and BTW did I mention the user manual was over 100 pages long!!!!! Gheez, its a 4 port wireless router, not a Cray computer.

No complaints now that I've finally got this thing installed. I'm enjoying a download speed of over 17M so all in all I'm pretty happy. The range is not what

D-Link Wireless-N Router with 4-Port Switch
I guess you do get what you pay for. A wireless N router for $49.99, great deal, right? WRONG. This thing is garbage. After calls to support and reading up on it I have Rev A of this router and I cannot speak for Rev B. I lose connectivity, sometimes in the middle of long downloads on the wireless G and also lose connectivity on the wired port. Updating the firmware from D-Links website locked the ting up and required some sequence of holding down the resent pin while unplugging and re-plugging it back in. Now whenever i need to re-boot it to regain connectivity to my modem all the settings are set to default, including the admin password and the wireless network settings.

This is getting returned tomorrow.

D-Link Wireless-N Router with 4-Port Switch
I bought this router to network my Intel-based Apple iMac, which is in my basement, with my Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, which are in my bedroom on the second floor. The router is located in the bedroom with the 360 wired to one of the four LAN ports, negating the need to buy the costly Xbox wireless network adapter. I was a bit apprehensive about buying this router based on the reviews here, but I was pleased to find that everything has worked beautifully since I set up the network a week ago. I have had no problems with getting a signal on the iMac even though it is so far from the router, and the Internet seems to work just as quickly as when I had the computer wired directly to my cable modem.

The provided install disc does not work with Apple computers; however, there are instructions in .pdf form in the Docs folder on the install disc that you can access on Apples. Using these instructions, the setup was a very easy process. I simply hooked the router to the cable modem and

This is an attractive router. I found it easy to set up, it has up-to-date security features and works well (except for the 802.11N issue)

My problem with this router is that if you have any 802.11G devices in your network, then the network will run at G speeds, period (says customer support.) I have one network device that is 802.11G and non-upgradeable. I bought this router with a DLink 802.11N PCMCIA card to get my laptop running at 802.11N, however, the router will not talk N to the card in the laptop, because I have a G device on my network. Thus, while the router is now doing a fine job as an 802.11G router, I might as well throw the PCMCIA card away.

DLink's web site says of the DIR-615 router that "Not only does D-Link's Wireless N technology extend your wireless range, it also works with your existing 802.11g wireless devices." It would be nice if DLink fessed up that mixed-mode doesnt work as expected. That factoid is hidden in a FAQ on the page for the PCMCIA card. I
