 "Installation annoying but great NIC." 2009-11-19
By L. Autry (St. Louis, MO)
Don't know which one Amazon has but the one I got is Rev A. Followed onscreen instruction as installation guide said. Initially it could not find the SSID even when told (mine is hidden). I also downloaded the latest drivers from the D-Link website. Finally, I went to the Connection Manager and clicked on "MY WIRELESS NETWORKS", then clicked on New, then put in the Profile Name, SSID, etc. It came right up. It's still not visible in the Connection Manager list. However, it is visible in the upper part of the Connection Manager GUI. I am running Windows 7 RTM (32 bit). The NIC is running at 270 Mbps (bits not bytes) with no perceptible dropouts. So only two stars for having an annoying installation but definitely a worthwhile investment. I absolutely LOVE the weighted extension cord/mount.

 "Works great at for N, ok for G" 2009-11-16
By Justin J. Barnthouse (Sierra Nevadas, No. Cal.)
When I use it at home with my N gigabit connection works great. At work there is only a G connection and my internal card works just as well if not better sometimes. Thats my only complaint, everything else works great. I bought the refurb, so it was a great price.

 "FRAUD" 2009-11-15
By Junhong Zhang (NY)
The performance said by the ad is completely a lie. My old 802.11g is faster than it . Also the signal strength is horribly low. Only recommending this product to people who have PC with version of WIFI before 802.11g.

 "Works like a charm; use the proprietary connection manager" 2009-11-12
By Niels B. Schaumann (Minneapolis, MN USA)
I've had this for a few weeks now, and have had no trouble at all with it. I recommend using dlink's proprietary connection manager, although I haven't tried it without. Connects every time, quick, no problems. Nice item.

 "Except for its size, a great N Adapter" 2009-10-18
By Gadget Guy (Aurora, CO United States)
This device works well and was easy to install on Windows Vista.



It is very bulky. It is much bigger than the typical USB jump drive. Fortunately, an external dock is supplied so that it does not block closely spaced USB ports. The external dock is a bit of a hassle for a laptop, but it's worth it if you need/want the speed.

 "Great, except for one major flaw.." 2009-10-05
By Nate Carlson (Savage, MN USA)
If you don't have advanced routing requirements, this will work great for you. The range and speed have been great; no stability issues, etc.



In my case, I needed to add a route to allow local machines to reach another subnet on the internal network. On the router this replaced, it was trivial to create a route on the LAN interface. This router only supports adding static routes on the WAN interface.



This is just silly -- this is one of the most trivial functions a router should be able to do. I contacted D-Link support, and apparently the feature has been removed, and they are trying to find out why.

 "Multi-computer and Gaming Router" 2009-09-23
By HvR (Raleigh, NC USA)
I recently set up my home wireless system upgrading from a Belkin G to a Netgear Rangemax dual band and it was a complete disaster. Rangemax has known firmware issues that will not allow multiple machines to connect without re-booting and disconnecting every five minutes - customer support for Rangemax was Horrific.



I now set up this DIR-855 and absolutely love it~! At any one point in our network we will have up to three laptops, four desktops and two X-box machines running at the same time and have not experienced any lag or drop in signal using both the N and G channels at the same time.



The boys X-box live experience has improved incredibly. I was worried about trying to find the DMZ or NAT settings on this new unit and have not had to look for them once since the initial set up.



Easy to install, fast and maintains a solid connection.



The only drawback that I can find in this system is that the N channel is weaker than I had expected. One desktop machine is through two walls and about 50ft from the router and the best I can pull is a "fair" connection at about the same speed I can link to the G channel. Machines that are less than 30ft and have only one wall to go through seem to consistently receive 80mbs according to the network connection status on the machines.



For X-Box Live Gaming this router is excellent and feel very good about spending the additional money for a quality piece of equipment.

 "Check out the hang problems on dlink forum b4 you buy" 2009-09-23
By M. Thompson (Houston, TX)
Since the 1.21 firmware release, this router has hung every few days and required a power cycle to reset. Maybe it would be OK if you hook it up to a timer such as Indoor Electronic Programmable Plug-In Timer with Front LCD (High Wattage) that power cycles it daily when you're not using it. I would recommend reading the forum comments on dlink's own web site.

 "D-Link DIR-855" 2009-09-21
By Paul harvell (East Stroudsburg, PA United States)
Nice unit. Easy to install. Not sure the 5Ghz is that useable. I have 7 computers hooking up to the unit around the house. I use the D-Link dual band USB device on two of them. All computers work better on the 2.4GHz band. The signl shows up stronger.

 "Finally a Decent - REAL dual channel Wireless Router!" 2009-09-13
By John E. Hazen (NJ)
Best bang for your buck! Finally had NO wireless issues WHAT-SO-EVER. Period!

-=AND=- no more drop outs / lag problems during major game play. That includes 4 wired and 10 wireless simultaneous connection playing at the same time to 2 different MMORPGs.



The only (and I MEAN ONLY) Drawback I've had is not being able to control port blocking as D-Link's in previous products.

(Would be a REALLY GREAT and Fantastic router if you could add memory, port-blocking, and ability to expand the Firewall log!)



Other than that, works great, and delivers on the advertised features. you get what you pay for. Want a cheap router-and get cheap features that don't work??-Get the blue-P.O.S.



Need or want the Cadilac----> Get this D-Link DIE-855 Extreme Router! I've tried the rest - this one's the best to date!

 "Read up about the 1.20 firmware before buying" 2009-07-29
By R. Perkins (Nashville, TN United States)
I owned a D-link wired Gaming router that worked great, so after my roommate bought a few of the D-Link Xtreme N bridges, I thought I should get a proper wireless router and a couple of bridges to go with it to connect up all rooms in the house. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of updating to the latest firmware as soon as I brought the router online. Apparently, the latest firmware is completely broken. My router locks up every 3-5 days or so. It has to be physically power cycled. My roommates are not happy with me when this happens. Seriously, I wish they would fix this. I just got the router a couple of weeks ago, but from what I've read the broken firmware(that you can't roll back) has been around for over 3 months without a fix yet. Boo on D-Link.

 "Awesome router!" 2009-07-11
By John N. Schuman (INdy)
NO resetting this thing, it stays up and running on my demanding home network (2 Xboxs, Wii, 3 desktops, 2 laptops, and at least 3 mobile devices at any given time). One of, if not the best router on the market.

 "Nice features, constantly stalls" 2009-07-09
By Jason A. Huntley (Raleigh, NC)
I'm not impressed with DLink. Their firmware is half baked and the router constantly stalls. DLink support is horrible.

 "Hangs randomly with newest firmware" 2009-07-08
By Terry Gold (Boulder, CO USA)
I've had this router for about a year, and it worked well at first, except that my Windows Home Server would occasionally fail when it tried to admin it via UPnP. I thought upgrading to the latest firmware might help fix the problem, but it's ruined what was a pretty good router.



When I downloaded the 1.20 firmware, the website did say that once "upgraded" the router could not be reloaded with the older firmware. I thought, it's a router, why would I ever want to reload older firmware? I pushed update, and that was the last time my router worked like it is supposed to.



If you look at the D-Link forums for this product you will see many people complaining that the router has to be reset every few days. D-Link has said they are aware of the problem and they are working on a fix, but so far (7/7/09) the firmware that they released in May is still broken.



If you buy this router now, be warned, you'll want to put it somewhere so that you can pull the power on it and reset it every few days, or your internet access will get slow and eventually stop.

 "set up" 2009-07-06
By Manohar Arora
very easy to set up -- certainly has better range than my previous Netgear 624 G!

 "Excellent Router" 2009-07-01
By Kurt Kreiss
I read all the reviews and a few people have issues setting up their router. This one is easy and works great. It was up and running in 30 minutes and is very fast. Much better than the Linksys I had before. Also, Skype works great now too. You cannot beat all the features, performance and price for this router. The range is excellent too. I can relax in the shade in the yard and surf! Get one.



Amazon is always flawless. Great service!

 "I like it so far" 2009-05-30
By A. Ghayyath (San Antonio, TX USA)
Well, as far as 2 day use goes, it is great. My not wireless printer is hooked up and printed wirelessly (the D-Link SharePort Network USB utility). All my computers are hooked up (3 wirelessly) with relatively simple steps.



Overall, keep in mind I have had it for 2 days, it is working just fine.

PS I am only using the 2.4 GHz not the 5 GHz band, so I am not sure about the conflicts that arise from there.!



If you need a new wireless router and have a "N" wireless network card, then this product is not bad.

 "Fast router, but has a major problem" 2009-05-08
By KKop (Atlanta, GA - USA)
The DIR-628 is a fast router, easy to set up, and easy to maintain.



However, as another reviewer wrote, after a while it will refuse to save any chnages you make to the router settings. D-Link support has no info on this, but there are messages all over the web detailing this problem.



If DLink fixes that bug, I would recommend this router. As it is, I can only give it two stars, and a 'don't buy' advice.

 "Performs nicely; very difficult to set up." 2009-06-29
By consumer (Orange County, CA)
Both the 2.4 ghz and the 5.0 ghz work very nicely. However... it took me 7 calls (not exaggerating) to make them successful. Talking to customer support is difficult as the DLink technicians have poor English skills and are unknowledgeable. Expect hours to get the internet plus the "utility Port" for the printer to work.



Very well designed product, but expect some customer support grief to get the router working. Make sure you download the latest "firmware." Now 1.11 as of review date

Great router! Easy to configure and secure and as fast as I hoped it would be. I have had no problems with it whatsoever.

 "Dlink DIR-825 OK, for a router" 2009-06-25
By PDX Craig (Portland, OR)
Version A1, Firmware 1.01

I recently upgraded my old g level router to this one.

As with my experience with other routers, the documentation was spotty, with lots of inconsistencies. Set up was a pain. But it I got it working in less than an hour.



The max rate I connected wireless was 130 Mb/s. At first I got half this, but bumped the default frequency from 20 to 20/40 and it improved. Haven't used the 5 GHz band much.



Can only connect 1 person at a time to the usb storage device and I could not see it when connected wireless. Tried customer support and got the typical royal run around. We traded email 3 times with them asking unecessary clarification questions each time. Finally they wrote me to call in. I did, and after answering another barrage of questions off their list I was put on hold for 5 minutes. I had better things to do and hung up. Unfortunately this crap is all to typical.



Read the reviews and decided to upgrade my firmware to 1.11. This required also downloading a new usb utility and setting up my router a 2nd time - 5 minutes this time.



Finally - yes, I can access my usb disk wirelessly.

 "Horrible Just Horrible" 2009-06-23
By Justime (USA)
I would like to begin by saying that Amazon's customer service is impeccable. This product on the other hand is not worth its cost. The range is terribly weak, the speed was inconsistent by bursting packets of data and having lag the next minute. Next, this product kept dropping connection and forcing the adapter to reconnect. Also, it is utterly point less to buy this router unless your adapter can handle the 5ghz frequency. I got the dwa-552 xtreme n adapter which apparently get on the n frequency.

LASTLY TECHNICAL SUPPORT KNOWS NOTHING THEY ARE NO HELP.

 "Nothing "Xtreme" or dual band about it. NOT RELIABLE." 2009-06-23
By Santiago N. Arene (Washington, DC USA)
Had constant connection failures out of the box. Firmware upgrade was suggested. Latest firmware installed and all connections (wired, 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz) still crap out at least once every hour. D-Link has a lot to learn on the manufacturing side and, most importantly, on the customer service side, which, at best, is horrendous. You have to spend 5 hours on the phone w/ them to have them admit it's they're problem. All while telling the user it's user error, user equipment error (all your non-D-Link equipment, of course, is to blame).
