Fantastic router
Reviewed by Matt. Review Posted 25/01/2009
I purchased this router to replace my old Belkin-F5D72314. My network was performing adequately up until the point when I added an Xbox-360 into the mix of connected devices (already connected were two desktops and a laptop). The Belkin was a nightmare to configure for Xbox Live. I decided it was time to upgrade, and chose the D-Link DIR-655 due to its vast array of advanced features and also because it is Xbox Live certified. I must say this router didn’t disappoint, on the contrary, it actually exceeded my expectations. I currently have; two desktops, two Xbox 360’s, and one laptop - all connected to the Internet via this router. Everything runs smoothly, even when the Xbox’s are connected to Live. It was as simple as enabling DHCP on the router to get both Xbox’s online. I use the advanced QoS feature to ensure http traffic gets priority, which is a great to allow everyone Internet access at all times. All in all, I highly recommend this router to anyone with a busy home network.

Excellent upgrade from my belkin g router (still working but slow).
Advantage of 4 gigabit internal network connection as well as excellent wifi(have to use WPA security setting) otherwise will only use g speeds.
Setup was simple without cd .
Hopefully wont need 11 year warranty.

I bought this router 6 months ago and all my problems were resolved instantly. Highly configurable, better range with 11g devices (no more wifi repeaters). My 11n notebook adapters from the US (the UK Rangebooster version works fine I expect, but it is clear from the US website that it is the previous model). 11n performance is great and always connects instantly at 300Mbps (not actual performance but a good sign).
Menus are easy to use, firmware is updated regularly (I use the more up to date US firmware). The config backup option could be easier to access, the DHCP server is a bit quirky when dealing with DHCP ranges and allocating permanent IP addresses but these are very minor quirks, none of which impact performance or usability.
Plenty of research later this top class wireless router is well supported and has great performance, I doubt a better option is available. Use the Vigor100 ADSL modem, which is very easy to set-up, all via the dlink, and optimises ADSL performance.
