 D-Link works well June 9, 2007

I bought this D-Link modem/wireless router to replace a Speedstream 5360 modem and a Linksys wireless router. It works MUCH better than the other system I was using. This system has been very stable--no more random disconnects from the internet or continual problems with the wireless system that I was experiencing previously. The D-Link wireless router has a much stronger signal than the Linksys it replaced. My D-Link system is in a building next to my house (about 20 feet away) and I can recieve signals anywhere in the house on a laptop with no problem at all--the Linksys was only usable in one room. The set up was easy and I like the combination modem/router--does not clutter up the desk. D-Link has created a good prodcut for my application.
Great modem & router- saved me from returning my Mac July 30, 2009

I purchased the D-Link combo modem & router out of necessity. I had just made the switch from PC to Mac, and was enjoying the Macbook, except for one glaring issue. My internet was severely hampered by constant DSL signal drops from my 2Wire modem. I don't know if 2Wire (AT&T) or Apple is to blame for the incompatibility, but I do know that I spent numerous hours resetting Safari, adjusting network connections, performing Plist resets, and talking to Apple and AT&T support (the later of which is worthless).
So as a last ditch effort, to try and salvage a decent internet experience, I found a google posting that mentioned this router as a solution to terrible AT&T DSL/Mac performance. This terrific router has made all the difference. NO DSL drops, no laggy website loading. Just a great little $89 solution (a steal at this price, but even cheaper on Amazon).
My one small complaint has been mentioned in other reviews: it's not the easiest thing to set up. If you're a Mac user, throw away the install disk, as it's worthless. Being a computer novice, it was essential to talk to support. They weren't overly friendly (i.e. "kissing up"), but they seemed to do a fairly competent job. Better than friendly and incompetent. If I want that, I'll contact AT&T. Anyway, I was up and running with a wireless network in 15 minutes, but it took another 40 with support to get a WPA encrypted network set up. However, now that I have it set up correctly, it runs like a dream. Highly recommended for DSL Mac users that are having signal issues with their 2Wire.
Setup was a breeze April 5, 2008

I have AT&T (SBC?) Yahoo DSL, and setup was a breeze. I just ran the wizard and everything worked. I replaced two boxes (the modem and a failing D Link wireless router) with one smaller box, so it definitely freed up some space around my computer. My old D-Link DI-614+ wireless router had been dropped on the floor a few times, so I guess it can be forgiven for failing after three years. I haven't notice a difference in speed, but I'm very happy.

Decided to replace an aging DSL modem from Verizon and Linksys wireless with one unit. The system was easy to install and setup. I've seen a significant improvement in download speeds.

This router was so easy to set up! I have AT&T DSL and I just read the quick setup guide and in minutes I was online. Setting up the wireless was easy too. Was able to use my old SSID and password so I didn't need to change anything on my other computers.
It does run a little warmer that the 2WIRE modem I had before but it works so much better and I noticed a speed increase too. I do have it placed vertically so it should get more than enough ventilation.
After using it for a couple days though it seems to run cooler now. Even after hours of downloading!
All in all a great purchase!
