Terrible [Posted on 2008-02-17]
Opted to try this router after frying out two Linky's over two years. Thought that I should be getting a longer usable life than I had been getting. Bought the D-Link 624 as replacement - huge mistake. This router drops the signal constantly, the firmware update makes almost no difference. Check of other web-reviews confirms this is a common, unfixable problem for the router. Do not buy.

Product is ok, D-link support SUCKS big time [Posted on 2008-03-31]
have been using this product for more than a year .. the product is great, but the d-link support SUCKS!! after i got it and installed it (by the way, the installation was simple for me, the direction were acurate), my phone like was interfering with the signals and whenever i got a call, i used to loose connection.
So i called the d-link support to ask for suggestions. The first line of support had some standard answers about changing channels etc which were not really helpful. So they transferred me to their technical support and the nerve of that guy who answered the call .. he just told me not to use my phone .. i was so pissed that if that guy was in front of me i would really have given him a piece of my mind .. i told him that if you guys knew that there would be such problem (especially since he had a ready answer), why do they not publish this as a known issue of their product in their website .. i also asked him how would he react if called for some support for some other product and got such an answer .. anyway, after thanking him for NOTHING and telling him that i would be returning the product (he cared less whether i returned it or not), i hung up the phone .. anyway, i calmed down and started looking at the setup and various options and got a channel or downloaded the latest software (i do not remember eactly what i did) but i got it working .. i have not really had any serious issues with it since .. do note that i am a software professional and so kind of knows about software and hardware installations because building software is my job ..
i recently shifted to a bigger house which has 2 floors and i have the router on the top floor .. currently i am connected with it from the floor below and it is showing full signal .. i do have the "booster" option on .. i do not remember the correct option, but i am sure you can find that in the settings ..
a point to note that is that when you reboot the router, it looses all the setting like the MAc filters etc and becomes available to everyone .. something which might be obvious to others, but i missed and noticed it when i reviewed the logs and found lot of my neighbours using my router .. someone accidently or purposely even changed some of my settings because even the admin password got reset to the defaults ..
It works - mostly [Posted on 2008-06-09]
Hmm. I have Revision C.
I am not about to say this is crap or that this thing is rock solid. This is a second tier wireless router. It used to drop the network every now and then and resets itself -- I am not sure if it still does that after a couple of firmware updates. Oh, yes, go get the latest firmware for it, and don't run without updating the firmware. Unfortutely, restoring your settings from a saved file does not work, so you'll have to configure the thing manually. That is somewhat annoying, but since firmware updates seem to come to a closure, maybe you don't need that anymore :)
I have only two RJ45s connected to it: one that comes from my DSL modem (I think it is marked on the device with "WAN"), and only one of the 4-ports that I connecto my my internal network. That only port is connected to another switch in my intranet. I wanted to connect a computer directly to one of this guy's 4-ports, but it dropped the connection (or reset itself) so frequently, I got fed up with it and just treat it as if it is part of my DSL modem.
So, if you have the idea that you could use this as your internal swotch, I urge you to reconsider that aspect. Use it as a firewall, as a wireless router, a DHCP server, etc., but not as a general purpose switch togeher with the rest.
