Product Description
Create a wireless network to share high-speed Internet access with computers, game consoles, or media players from greater distances in your home or office. Using D-Link Xteme-N wireless products makes it really easy!
The D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router is a draft 802.11n compliant device that delivers up to 14x faster speeds and 6x farther range than 802.11g while staying backward compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b devices. Connect the Xtreme N Gigabit Router to a cable or DSL modem and provide high-speed Internet access to multiple computers, game consoles, and media players. Create a secure wireless network to share photos, files, music, videos, printers, and network storage.
With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including VoIP, Video Streaming, Online Gaming, and Web browsing are mixed together into a single data stream. By handling data this way, applications like video streaming could pause or delay. With D-Link's Intelligent QoS Technology, wired and wireless traffic is analyzed and separated into multiple data streams. These streams are then categorized by sensitivity to delay, so applications like VoIP, Video Streaming, and Online Gaming are given priority over Web browsing. This enables multiple applications to stream smoothly to your TV or PC. Delivering best-in-class performance, network security, and coverage, this router is the ideal centerpiece for your wireless network in the home or office. Backward compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b devices including game consoles and digital media players

 Connection keeps dropping on me July 5, 2008
Jeremy Collins (Orange County, CA)
When this router's working it's great, but that's only half the time for me.
I purchased this router over six months ago, and ever since I've had many problems with the connection dropping on several laptops in the house. I've updated the firmware, replaced the router with a newer one, and called tech support several times.
They admitted a problem with some routers routinely dropping connections, and said for some there's no fix at this point. They said a future firmward upgrade could fix the problem, but couldn't guarantee it. Until I can get more consistent coverage, I can only give this router 1 star.
 Hate messing with networks? Then buy this router! July 2, 2008

Long story short: great range and fantastic speed (especially with one of the Extreme N network adapters), and absolutely superb reliability. No more mysterious dropped connections. If you would prefer to be doing things online instead of spending hours troubleshooting networking hardware, this is the router for you. Buy it.
Easy to setup with great range July 1, 2008

Replaced my old Linksys B/G wireless router. Much greater range and was easy to setup. I have a Dell laptop with a wireless N internal card and the transfer speed is amazing. Router is also very reliable with no drops.
Excellent product June 30, 2008
Ronald K. Ellis (Sacramento)
I have been using this router for a couple of months now and it works great when wired or wirelessly. I did have to call support about my adaptor, DWA-140, and they made changes to a few of the settings and it works beautifully. It transfers files quickly and flawlessly even if the files are very large, over a gig. Great router!
Took About A Year To Set Up June 29, 2008

Okay, maybe not that long. But it did take me a good hour and a half to two hours to set this thing up. However, after setting up, it hasn't stopped working on me yet (over the past 4 days) which is a plus, because the router I bought before this (Linksys G w/ speedbooster) sucked, and would stop working every 5 minutes. So, all in all, I like this router. Can't really comment on any speed enhancements or anything, however.
