Setting up the wireless network was simple and in no time I was up and going. The one problem I did run into was with the D-Link wireless connection manager not playing well with Windows Zero Config. This wasn’t exactly D-Links fault, but rather 2 d...

The D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router displayed lightning-fast performance in short-range and mixed-mode tests; it offers Gigabit LAN ports and the latest in wireless security.
Very expensive; based on an unfinished spec.
The D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router is the fastest weve seen, but were still reluctant to recommend it as its based on an unfinished wireless spec. Price range: $89.82 - $149.99
Fast (thanks to Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports) and feature-rich.
Confusing Web administration interface.
This fast wireless router comes with Gigabit LAN ports and has many features, including QoS monitoring, but the complex interface may intimidate some....

Abstract: Now that draft-802.11n wireless routers are becoming more prevalent we're also finally seeing the move to Gigabit Ethernet as well. Netgear's RangeMax WRN854T was the first to deliver high speed network ports and now its D-Links turn with its new RangeBoo...
Abstract: The specifications and features speak for themselves. D-Link managed to bring an extremely innovative networking solution for people seeking to improve their current or upcoming network for under $200$. Whether you are trying to get maximal performanc...
D-Link just keeps upping the 802.11n ante. The Xtreme N is a vast improvement over the previous DIR-630 model. The DIR-655 bridges the narrowing gap between consumer and business Wi-Fi routers. In tests, it matched the speed of the DIR-635 nose for nos...
