Works OK [Posted on 2008-10-12]
So, I went down to fry's yesterday to buy a router. I'd never had one before, so this is all kind of new to me. (The wireless connection I used to leech dropped out). Set up was kind of a hassle, I would say if you know anything about anything, don't use their wizards, do it manually. Wireless N works fine. My only problem, the antennas are TERRIBLE. T E R R I B L E. And there's no way to replace them. My house is 1200 square feet (albeit with a lot of walls in it) and I get zero bars with signal to no signal at all at the far end of the house. Anything larger, i would go for something a bit more expensive. I'm using Version C1, with firmware 3.0
Works as advertised.. so far [Posted on 2008-11-10]
I can cautiously recommend trying this router provided you can return it if you have problems. I have the dreaded (by some) A1 hardware revision, but without the problems others mention. This was the cheapest N router around at the time.
The router set-up is easy if you are familiar with routers. However, do not rely on the wizard provided and be prepared to set it up manually. I will not fault D-link to much for that, as in my experience automatic router setup programs from Linksys and Netgear did not work any better either.
Make sure you upgrade firmware immediately to the latest available. It now remains to be seen how long this router will stay working. So far, I have no reason to regret buying it.

For the price its a steal, but the signal strength isnt impressive. ITs not gigabit. It may be complicated to set up for new users. MAKE SURE to put MAC filtering for added protection
Slightly better than garbage [Posted on 2008-11-15]
Picked one of these up from J&R last week...I'm pretty tech savvy and have set up several routers before, but this one took me about 7 hours over 2 days. When I entered the password for network security in the only possible box for it, it still would not recognize the pass when I would try to connect. Eventually it started working although I have no idea what I did, but it would only connect at 11 Mbps rather than 54, even if my computer was directly next to the router. The net was far too sluggish going through the router, so I sent it back for a linksys, which I had up and running perfectly in 15 min. Technically it did transmit data so I gave it better than a 1, but don't waste your time on this p.o.s.
