D-Link’s Intelligent QoS Technology - WHY INTELLIGENT QoS IS BETTER 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. ADVANCED NETWORK SECURITY The Xtreme N Gigabit Router supports the latest wireless security features to help prevent unauthorized access, be it from over a wireless network or from the Internet. Support for WEP™, WPA™, and WPA2™ standards ensure that you will be able to use the best possible encryption regardless of your client devices. In addition, this Xtreme N router utilizes Dual Active Firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks from across the Internet.
Delivering best-in-class performance, network security, and coverage, the Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655) is the ideal centerpiece for your wireless network in the home or office.
WHAT THIS PRODUCT DOES 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.

So this was a replacement router, after going to failed Dlink Wbr 2310, and the ever famous Linksys router with the Linux firmware. And I've got to say, Dlink got something right with this model! Amazing router, probably the best I've had since my original Wired only Linksys router.

This router replaced my old linksys 100mbit and I am very impressed with it. I haven't had my router reset my connection since I installed it and that was over 2 months ago.

I love this thing, my wireless internet is so much faster, I was skeptical at first because of the "D-Link" brand, because of what people have said of it, I was going to get a linksys but this was definitely the better choice.

Even though it's just a Draft, I find the product great in the Coverage area with its multiple Antennas (MIMO). The latest driver for Vista fixed some of the previous issues that this router had. It does get very hot, however. It's a solid router, but unless you are desperate of its 240+ Mb/s Local network Bandwidth. I would wait for the Real Wireless-N.

I pair it up with DLink DWA 552. and now, I wonder why I would bother read so many reviews on internet. the range is far and signal is strong (on same distance and same locations, the signal is 10~15% stronger than my old Dir625)

I got this router which worked fine for several days. Then out of the blue the router started to reboot sporadically and randomly - one to more times daily. I would lose all connections wired + wireless killing my VPN connection to work and downloads. It even once went into an endless reboot cycle for over 30 minutes until I unplugged and hard reset it. This was an A3 router with latest firmware 1.11 and I was coming from a WRT54GL w/ Tomato firmware (I gave it away so I decided to upgrade to wireless N)

It's currently working excellent at the moment but I will have to wait and see how it goes for the next couple of weeks.

It was a breeze to setup. I did setup manually and didn't use the CD, as I find generally those "Wizards" just complicate things. I find that is had all the settings an enthusiast would need, and they were easy to find and work with. The speed of the wireless was pretty good, and the gigibit ethernet (which is why I bought it) was fantastic. All the reviews I have seen rate this product as solid, with very few cases of the product dying. This is not the case with some other similar products (Netgear Rangemax Next WIRELESS-N Router I'm looking at you).
