The setup for this router was easy and painless. Barely worth mentioning actually. The security options that come with this router are worth mentioning though. With MAC Filters and 128-bit WEP I am sure nobody will be trying to get in my network.

I like this router and access point and am glad D-Llink can make a good solid product, both router and adapter card (G650).

However, better signal doesn't do much good if the router doesn't work correctly!!! I frequently use VPN from home to get into the network at work, and 9/10 times when I try to VPN in, the router gets possessed and reboots itself for no apparent reason. It'll start to log in, and then I look over at the router--all of the lights flash on for a second, then they all turn off, then they all come on again--and my VPN connection is terminated! This never happened with the Linksys.

Also, this router locks up frequently for no given reason. You'll go to use your computer, and...nothing. No response from the router. The only way to fix it is to unplug the power, wait a few seconds, and plug it back in. I emailed their tech support--want to know what they told me? Not much. They copied and pasted the FAQ page from their support page, telling me to try things I already tried, one of them being, "Check your logs. Is there someone causing a lot of traffic on your network? If so, you may want to block that person's I.P." Oh, thank you for the suggestion! Your router doesn't work properly, so I should just kick my users off of it. Brilliant!

Also, the static DHCP feature they added doesn't work right. Everytime I tried to add more than one MAC address to it, the router froze up and wouldn't accept it.

So, I'm going back to the Linksys, and I guess I'm just going to have to install another wireless access point to take care of this range problem. While the range of the Linksys might not be as good, at least the router functions properly! I'd also like to mention that this is the 2nd time I've tried D-link (a different model this time), and I had the same problems with the first one. Until they get the bugs out of these things, I will certainly NOT be buying another one.

As for problems that some reviewers here complained about, I highly recommend downloading the latest firmware which fixes the following problems :

1) Full compliance with the final, ratified 802.11g standard
2) SSID broadcast can now be disabled for better security

To the reviewer who complained that his Win XP laptop recognizes his DWL-G650 pc card and connects to the wireless network, but that the d-link's own utility can not see the card and the network ? The problem is that Win XP assigns to the card its own generic driver. You have to download the latest driver from d-link, uninstall the Win XP driver, and then tells Win XP to install/update manually the driver from d-link! Here are the detailed steps :
Go to control panel --> system --> device manager --> network adapter --> DWL-G650 whatever ...
Uninstall the Win XP driver for the card. Pull out the card and insert it back in. In the Windows new hardware setup wizard, click on set up/find driver manually, and then browse to the folder where you have unzipped and installed the latest d-link driver and utility. After this, the d-link utility will be able to see and configure the card and manage the wireless network.

Overall, this is a great wireless g router with a good support site. Very satisified and highly recommended!

I get good signal through one floor straight down and into the basement. It keeps my computer connected all the time and my speeds are good enough to stream MP3s and Videos across my network.
Recommended.

Needless to say that within 15 minutes the router was set up and running. I tested it with D-Link DWL-650+ (802.11b) wireless PCMCIA card as well as with DWL-G650 (802.11g)wireless PCMCIA card. In both cases it worked just fine !! And the most important, my IPAQ 5455 (802.11b) was connected with the network seamlessly in both cases. (Maybe the last firmware patch from HP has something to do with this). Unfortunately, I could not test it with 802.11b cards of other manufacturers.

Now, I can place a DVD in my desktop computer and watch it wirelessly on my laptop at full motion, while at the same time I am downloading my email at my IPAQ. Isn' t that amazing?

However, there is a strange thing happening, which the technical support of the company has not been able to help me solve up to this moment: while the windows XP of my laptop recognize the wireless card (DWL-G650), configure it properly and I can access my local network, as well as the Internet without problem, the D-Link utility which accompanies the card cannot see it. (These computers are so unpredictable things after all ;-).

I would highly recommend this product !!

Highly recommend this product!

I started out with the Microsoft MN-610, which is only 802.11b, but returned it to purchase this. For about $20 more, I was able to purchase this 802.11b & 802.11g compatible router.

Router was very easy to set up. My only complaint is that I cannot figure out any method to stop broadcasting the SSID-this seems like it would help secure the system. Also, WEP should be enabled by default.

Speeds are perfect. I can stream MP3s from our file server, I can browse the Internet at speeds comparable to our wired PCs and I feel no differnce surfing the web and downloading files.

I feel like a confident user now and hope others don't shy away from this because it is too new for them. The documentation is great and the help files do just what they are supposed to do, help.

I am mainly concerned with everything working well across both "B" and "G" not so much with the speed capabilities.
This router, like other D-Link products I've tried, has a simple and intuative interface that allows you to change a wide array of things so you feel more in control. Or you can just leave them as default and be on your merry way.

For me, it has worked as advertised and it feels good. It isn't very often that you can get something this complex in features at such a low price, and on top of that so easy to use.

The Router is very good... it was setup w/ my cable modem in moments, with a few more minutes of looking around (didn't touch a manual except to learn the default login procedure) I was able to have the router configured to my specific private IP address range (this was replacing another unit, so I wanted to keep everything the same). I was also able to setup the unit to email me logs of renewals/connections (just to be sure my neighbors aren't using it!)

The wireless has been flawless so far... the speed is quick, while I haven't done any exact measurements, I can say that's it's a big boost over 802.11b from what I've seen so far.

The range has been great too... the unit is setup in the utility room of my basement, the room where my laptop is most often used is also in the basement... but I'm able to go the top level and still have connection... looking forward to nicer weather so I can go outside with it!

It's much bigger (physically) then I expected... but it's on a shelf next to my furnace so what do I care... but if you're going to have this sitting on your desk or shelf, keep the size in mind.

The features on this D-Link model are great. Plenty of security options, with "to-be-added" WPA and 802.1x coming soon, and the high bit WEP.

This router has provided solid internet access for me for about 2 weeks now and I am very greatful for going with D-Link. i think you will be too.

The setup of this router and these cards were very simple and had easy to follow directions to go along with them. The router's setup was equally simple. It had a simple setup wizard that guides you through the steps needed to get up and running properly.
