Dlink DIR655 extreme N router doesn't work as advertised. Tech support
is uninformed, naive, and unfamiliar with technology. DMZ doesn't work.
Firewall is undefeatable. Packets on DMZ placed IP node are filtered.
UDMP multicasting discovery protocols will not work properly on the LAN,
even with routers multicasting switches enabled. I'm suspecting that the
Belkin product may be a better bet.

It's fast, but tech support on this product is about on the level of Linksys. . . which is to say . . . Godawful. . .

I was so scare to install it due to the fact that I am no techy but -- very easy to do. I had it up and running in less than 1 hour. I was so very proud of myself and so proud that I purchased this router. I highly recommend it.

Before this router I had a Linksys WRT54G running custom DD-WRT firmware for three years. The router eventually gave up after lots of peer-to-peer traffic, and I chose the D-Link DIR-655 to replace it.

Setup for the D-Link was absolutely basic. The web configuration interface is extensive and easy to understand. I was up and running in about five minutes out of the box. There are a couple of annoying screens, such as the static list of 50 or whatever port forwarding rules, but most of the interface is top notch.

As far as performance goes, the D-Link now has an uptime of one month, since I got it, and has successfully hosted multiple wireless laptops, peer-to-peer traffic, streaming of video from Netflix, online gaming, all without a hiccup. The range is excellent, too. I live on the fourth floor of an apartment building and my iPhone will stay connected and working as I walk down the stairs (through a couple of walls from the router) to the outside, and then as I walk around the building. Nice to have full connection when I am walking the dogs. :)

D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless Router Very satisfied with the performance this N+ router once it was set up with proper encryption (WPA2). The only negatives have to do with the D-Link support staff. All my inquires were met with a regurgitation of information from the support site. If the answer to my questions were on the site I would not have needed to contact them. Recommend the product but only to those who are familiar with the requirements for proper setup.

I was looking for a router to replace my Netgear WPN824. I wanted a device that offered some advanced features such as QoS, Wake-On-LAN/WAN and detailed logging. I intially tried the ZyXel X-550 and was pleased intially but hated the fact that the coverage was not as good as my Netgear WPN824 and seem to drop connections often. I recently purchased the DLink DIR-655 and must say I am very impressed. It offers all the features I was looking for and more. I initially had an issue with losing connection on the LAN attached (Wired)devices but after doing some troubleshooting I found the issue to be caused by the "Automatic Classification:" feature under "QoS Engine Setup". Once I disabled this feature and manually entered the QoS priority I had no connectivity issues. The range is better that any of the routers I've owned and It can handle network gaming from several laptops, a couple of PS3's and a WII without a hiccup. I highly recommend this device. Please take note that I am a Systems Engineer so I did not go through the manual. I suggest anyone who's interested in this device go through the manaul in detail to understand all the features. If you want a simpler router I would recommend the WPN824 (I've had it for 3 years with little to no issues).
