Awesome speed and gret for VoIP!

This router is super fast! My whole network is much faster no having replaced a D-Link DI-524. The QoS feature is probably one of the best features. It will automatically 'look' for VoIP, Video Streaming traffic, etc and give priority as needed, but yoou are able to set priority yourself. I set VoIP at the highest priority and Torrent downloads at the lowest.

Some may not like the plastic case, especially if you are used to D-Links old style industrial aluminum cases, but I don't mind the look. Theprint server option is quite nice and I have yet to utlize the USB option, but will check that out when I get a chance.

The Web interface is much better than the old D-Link products. It seems they have put a lot of thought into the interface which includes a useful help section. I marked 'ease of use' down a bit, because I struggled a little bit with getting my VoIP up and running. I finally was able to figure that out, but I'm not sure how many people would dig as deep as I had to.

This router mightbe a little pricey for some, but if the price doesn't scare you off, it's well worth it in my opinion.

Fanatastic Router!
Review posted on May 13, 2008

Needed to replace old 'G' router that was having problems. Tried a dual-band router from D-Link competitor and found it to be worthless. I thought I would need the dual band better through-put. I couldn't have been more wrong.

I returned the dual-band router and purchased this one and I have to say it's been worth every penny. Excellent range, signal strength and through-put. Antenna alignment and actual placement of the router in a house makes a big difference, but even at extreme distances it did a great job.

In my case, I also like the simple, minimalist styling of the case. Other routers I've seen looked like they belonged on the ceiling of a disco, or on the bridge of a star ship. I ended up mounting mine on a wall and the sinple white case worked well.

On the downside, the router defaults to a different IP than most others, so that can be a nusisance if you're upgrading an existing network, but that can be changed fairly easily. Also, the router offers A LOT of different configuration options and I have to say I don't love their menu structure, but with a little fishing, you can find the settings you're looking for.

Easy to set up and always working. Added a high gain antenna and am beaming a strong signal almost 3 miles away to the office. Well worth the cost.
