Take your home wireless network to a new level with the D-Link DIR-615. This draft 802.11n router is backward compatible with standard Wireless-G and –B equipments and it delivers faster speeds and farther range than a standard 802.11g router. The award winning QoS (Quality of Service) engine prioritizes traffic to maximize the quality of VOIP calls or online gaming.
Keeping your data secure is just as important to a great online experience as speed and range. That's why a full set of encryption options is available including WEP, WPA and WPA2. Firewall Protection is included for additional security.
Pros: DIR-615 C1 is entirely updated internals. It is an Atheros chipset router with the ar9102 radio chip. I have completely dissembled my router. It is identical to the Trendnet TEW-652BRP router in terms of firmware compatibility (the Trendnet GPL download even makes references to the DIR-615 C1). You can cross-flash the Trendnet firmware on this router, but most people agree the D-Link has more options and is better. The Atheros ar9102 chip is 2x2 MIMO they are cheap to produce. Both antennas are removable which is nice. This router is Linux based and OpenWRT now runs on this router! It has 32MB of RAM, 400Mhz CPU, 4MB of flash. This router is easy to open (4 screws on bottom, no snaps!) and you can easily solder in a rs232 serial port. A modern compact Linux OpenWRT router!
Cons: 2x2 MIMO isn't as good as the 3x3 MIMO routers out there, but they are more expensive. Short antennas compared to what I got with other atheros AP81 routers from TP-Link and Planex.

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Strong fast wireless signal. Easy setup for newbies.
Cons: Incomplete settings and interface. Advanced features do not work. Firewall settings and virtual server don't seem to work or don't work very well. WAN security is somewhat questionable.
Here are my specific issues: - Virtual Server does not work. That's huge for me. - What the heck is the check box do on the VS and Port Forward pages: there's no label. - The time server doesn't seem to work. Or maybe ntp1.dlink.com doesn't have the right time. Can't tell. - The firewall settings don't allow for explicit port blocking or wildcard IP blocking like the DI-604. - The scheduler does allow for time blocks that cross over midnight, ie I want this port open from 7AM to 2AM. - DDNS does not work, I really don't care, but if it's there, it should work.
- I ran a port scan on www.hackerwatch.org... the only port that was secure was 80. That's the only one I actually want OPEN!! There's seems to be no place in the interface to lock the other ports down.
Other Thoughts: I've had a DLink DI-604 ver. E1 running for five years now. It's been rock solid, simple to configure, and secure. So when upgrading to a Wireless router, I went DLink without hesitation. Unfortunately this DIR-615 ver A1 fw 1.10 doesn't seem to work as advertised. I host a web server at home, so I need Virtual Server passthrough functionality, but no matter what I do it will not work. I even managed to crash the router twice while playing with the settings.
I'm also disappointed in the DDNS feature though I could live without it.
For now I'll be going back to the DI-604 and the DIR will be acting as an AP. Needless to say, I've very disappointed in DLink with this purchase.
C'mon DLink, this product isn't ready for market. Release some new firmware, fix these issues, and do a little testing. Until that point, there's no way I'd recommend this product to anyone.
As for newegg ... another perfect transaction. If only newegg could teach DLink a little something about quality

Cons: There are too many to list. My unit is a Rev C1 Microcode 3.10. I am not using DHCP or DNS. It will not maintain an internet connection via wireless although I can access the DSL router interface. The connection speed is very slow even though it shows 100% signal strength.
Other Thoughts: I have used Dlink products for the last 9 yrs and never had any problems. IFrom what I have read on all of the forums and blogs it looks as if Dlink has dropped their Quality Control and Testing departments. I guess I'll be changing vendors.

Highlights
Wireless-N With Wireless-N (draft 802.11n), the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works great with standard Wireless-G and -B equipments, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N, the D-Link DIR-615 can increase the throughput much more.
10/100Mbps Network Connection The D-Link DIR-615 features a built-in 4-port 10/100Mbps Ethernet switch for direct connections to four PCs or additional switches.
Superior VoIP and Online Gaming The DIR-615 Wireless Router features an Advanced Quality of Service (QoS) engine to prioritize time-sensitive online traffic for smooth Internet phone calls (VoIP) and responsive gaming.
High Wireless Security The DIR-615 supports WEP, WPA and WPA2 standards for use of the available supreme encryption regardless of client devices and features a built-in firewall to prevent potential attacks from the Internet.
