 "It really works." 2009-12-09
By Ledezman (Costa Rica)
I was uncertain about this antenna when I bought it but now I have to say it really works. My signal went from 'bad' to 'very good'. The cable is kind of short though.

 "Much Better Than Expected Results!!!" 2009-11-07
By King Menes (New Orleans, LA)
I bought two of these for PC's that have D-Link DWA-552 Xtreme N wireless adapter cards. Both PC's sit on the floor under desks. The PC's are networked with a D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N wireless router.



The first PC is in another room 29 feet from the router. There is one wall (wood frame/drywall) between the PC and the router. The D-Link ANT24-0230 antenna boosted the original signal strength of 3 bars (good) to a solid 5 bars (excellent). The antenna sits on top of the computer desk. I had to play around with the position of the three antennas to get a consistent 5 bar signal strength.



The second PC is in another room 51 feet from the router. There are four walls (wood frame/drywall) between the PC and the router. The D-Link ANT24-0230 antenna boosted the original signal strength of 2 and an occasional 3 bars (low to good) to a solid 4 bars (very good). The antenna sits on top of the computer desk monitor stand. I had to play around with the position of the three antennas to get a consistent 4 bar signal strength.

 "Signal strength went from 40-50 to 70-80 so I'm happy." 2009-10-10
By T. Moore (DC)
The wireless singal strentgh from our living room to our bedroom went up from 40-50 to 70-80. We stream HD movies to our bedroom PS3 with no problem. Games seem to work fine too.

 "Worked as Advertised" 2009-10-01
By Payerman54 (florida United States)
Worked as advertised. Leave the router out of sight (so the flashing blue lights are hidden) and get the same or better reception.

 "Works (a little)" 2009-06-02
By Bud Taylor
The antenna improved my reception by one bar but nothing earth shattering. The cord is not long enough to actually get the antenna in a place where it could make a huge difference. I would pass on this items and go for something with a longer cord.

 "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!

 "Fast but conection drops ALOT" 2009-10-28
By Rob (New York)
This card loses network connections CONSTANTLY. I have it paired with a totally compatible D-Link router, all updated drivers, etc. No network interference. It drops the wireless connection every few minutes, all the time. I had to switch back to the built-in one in my laptop. THAT works flawlessly albeit slower.

 "D-Link DWA-652" 2009-06-25
By Richard Orr
I purchased this notebook adapter in concert with a D-Link wireless N router to replace a D-Link Airplus Xxtreme G adapter and Linksys wireless G router, hoping for increased range. It was easy to install, but the wireless N upgrade failed to make any noticeable increase in range.

 "Locks up or slows down PC" 2009-06-18
By Robert Davi (Oakland, CA USA)
I even bought the DWA-652 for my PC and I have had more issues with this slowing down or freezing my PC. These issues may be do to my XP service pack 3 configuration, but really that is not acceptable. It should not matter if I have service pack 2 or 3. It should just work, and Yes I do have the right to have the most current service pack on my PC, Security is very important I install programs and software on many computer networks so I need the maximum security for my computer. This product is not ready for primetime.

 "From 54mbps to 300mbps" 2009-06-07
By Ameliawizard (Fernandina Beach, FL United States)
If you have a home network and are moving large files around then you need to go to Extreme N specs. This card plugged in, ran the setup disk, checked for new firmware and drivers and then it has functioned flawlessly for over a year. Easily falls back at hotels etc to wireless G but still provides better signal detection.



If you are home gaming or networking with an extreme N router then this card is easy and fast.

 "Not up to snuf" 2009-06-01
By rocman (Phila, PA)
I purchased two DLINK DWA 652 network adaptors and two DLINK DAP 1522 wireless access points (to go along with my new DLINK DIR 825 router). The wirless N does operate as reliably or consistently and sometimes not at all. I could not receive N band transmissions and DLINK was not able to fix the problem. In addition, the software causes system hangups.



What made this experience worse is the long hold times to get a DLINK tech. And, they tell you to try something and then call them back (more long holds)



I've given up on these and on DLINK. They are going back to Amazon.

 "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.
