Abstract: Draft N is all the buzz around the WiFi circles, and manufacturers are pushing their early products onto store shelves despite the constant technical changes to the new unapproved draft. Although early product releases incorporating the 802.11n draft...

Low functionality of the USB port, Impractical surface material, Poor thermal contact of the heatsinks with the components they cool, Gets very hot at work, Imperfect webinterface structure, Too bright indicators
The DIR-655 router didn’t prove completely up to my expectations. For a top-end model, it lacks functionality. For devices of this class it is not enough to boast high potential due high-quality onboard controllers: this potential needs to be proper...
Abstract: Rarely have I received so many requests for a product review as I have for the D-Link DIR-655. This is most likely due to its position at the top of our Router Charts, with its impressive 200+ MHz routing speed. However, in keeping with my policy of no...

Confusing Web administration interface.
This fast wireless router comes with Gigabit LAN ports and has many features, including QoS monitoring, but the complex interface may intimidate some....
New looks, excellent performance, Gigabit Ethernet.
No WPS support on the client (yet), minor setup glitches. Article appeared originally on WiFi Planet.com.
First, and probably most noticeably, D-Link has given the DIR-655 a fresh new look. The DIR-655 has a white case and a black trim band that wraps around the case. Even the three antennas are white. Though the case tooling is almost identical to the to...
Abstract: D-Link Xtreme N Router versus Apple AirPort Extreme N base station My main disappointment with the new Apple AirPort Extreme 802.11n Base Station is that it does NOT support Gigabit Ethernet. Thats a key omission since there are many "pro" Macs that...
