DLINK DIR-655

D-Link Xtreme Gigabit Router (DIR-655) Wireless N300, USB SharePort, Gigabit
D-Link Xtreme Gigabit Router (DIR-655) Wireless N300, USB SharePort, Gigabit

Pros: easy set-up

Cons: Worked to begin, but had never great coverage. My neighbor's wireless router who's house is past my bedroom (which houses PC/Router) provides stronger signal than my own device which is 50 feet closer. Then, lately, my web sites wouldn't load any longer. Some would (regardless how slow), most others just timed out. Then it would work again ... somewhat. Contacted CenturyLink who's my DSL provider ... Spent 45 minutes on the phone with them since I assumed it was their fault slowing down my internet speed. Nada, no results. Then I read to bypass the router, and connect the modem directly to my computer ... And sure enough, my web sites were loading again ... with speeds I could comfortably live with. Router back in line, and everything would come to a crawl again. The crazy thing about it is that I don't even have my PC wireless connected! It's hard wired! And even then I have those problems!!! I have the latest firmware, even reset it to factory default ... no joy! About to get another router which will definitely not going to be a DLINK!
