Great router, online in under 10 minutes
This router is my first wireless one ever and I am very pleased with the purchase. After a lot of research, I decided on the D-Link. I have read that LinkSys routers set the standard for ease of use, but I cannot really imagine how much easier installation and setup can get! Honestly, I had the router setup in under 10 minutes with my laptop connected to my cable modem and accessing the internet via the router's LAN port (i.e. ethernet cable). The router sports some nice firewall features. I was not too impressed with the online help however. Several options that the router offers for configuration were not described in the online help (stored in router firmware). The D-Link support site has decent information, perhaps enough for you to get most problems taken care of. However, I had an issue when using the D-Link DWL-G650 card with WAP security which after about 6 hours of frustration got resolved in about 5 minutes with a phone call to customer service. Anyway, this was no fault of the router itself since the blame lies on the outdated driver D-Link ships with the PC card. I use AT&T; VPN solution to access my office network and the router works just fine. The DHCP server came up just fine and my machines were happily on the network via wires.
Pros:
- easy to setup
- good security features
- D-Link website has pretty good cust service info
- IPSEC VPN passthrough worked without any issues
Cons:
- online help included in firmware not the best
- Several advanced options of firewall etc not very well documented (ie. not that easy to use for those inexperience with advanced security settings)
Overall, I'd give this router a 4.5 stars and would definitely consider it a good buy for both the novice as well as experienced computer users.

Easy Set-up
Got the DLink DI-624 Router, DWL-G650 Card, and DWL- G520 for my other desktop yesterday. Initial setup was pretty straightforward with default configurations. I chose this router since it supports WPA and some of the linksys ones that I saw currently doesn't. Had some configuration issues but that was due to XP's wireless zero configuration. Disabled XP's configuration so I could use the one that DLink has for the client cards. I get full signal strength/speed in my 1400Sqft condo. Speeds seem good like if I was on my wired network for surfing the web (figures since my SBC Yahoo connection is only 768Kbps and I'm connected to the router at 54Mbps). The device seems to play well with my DSL modem and my Netscreen firewall. It supports pass through VPN (IPSEC) so I can connect to my corporate lan through VPN. The only issue is that I had my VPN tunnel drop a couple of times but was connected to it for over 7 hours yesterday without a drop.

It also has some nice features such as MAC filtering (to keep other wireless users from connecting through your router), WPA-PSK which was just released and is much more secure than WEP as well as easier to set up. You will have to download the WPA supplicant from DLink's site but it was pretty straight forward. Overall, would recommend this router..... performance and the features you get for the price makes it a great value.

can't handle browser idle time (poor support)
Installation was easy and everything looked great. Until I tried to access the internet via my browser the next morning ("page cannot be displayed"). All ideas of the helpdesk how to fix it didn't change anything (we exchanged about 20 emails) so that they agreed it was a hardware problem. I returned it and got the next one with the same problem. The answer of the helpdesk this time: don't use ZoneAlarm. And if this is not the problem, then it must be Windows XP. Unfortunately, shutting down ZoneAlarm didn't fix the problem. So the problem must be Windows XP in their opinion. That's an easy excuse because nobody can prove anything and I got stuck with my router and my problem. So I returned it.

Conclusion: if you have a dial-up connection and don't stay connected while being idle, this is a good product. If you have a cable modem and don't shut down your computer all the time, try a different router.
