DIR 655 needs Firmware Update

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

Pros: The wired part of the router is blazing fast.

Cons: Right out of the box it would not recognize my cable connection. Finally after argueing with tech support that it wasn't my modem I was told to download the new firmware from their website using my old router. Luckily I knew how to do it as they didn't even offer to email it to me. I then had to call them back to install the firmware and the router finally worked. The wireless part of the router is no improvement over my older Belkin.

Overall Review: Buy it only if you want to speak to non-English tech support to install the new firmware.

Great burner

Pros: I bought 6 of these for upgrades. Everyone worked flawlessly.

Cons: 2 of the 6 were above average in noise- really loud. The other 4 were average.

Overall Review: Look at the reviews of the other burners. All the others come with problems. Lite-On has a reputation for burners that can recognize all formats. Would you rather have a quiet burner that doesn't work or a loud burner that works?
