    Pros: Works great....when it works

    Cons: Constantly disconnects every 30 seconds to 2 minutes

    Summary: This was touted as the best wireless router to get for gaming. However, I even find browsing the internet a challenge. The router disconnects every 30 seconds to 2 minutes. It then takes about a minute to restart. I rarely go more than 20 minutes without a disconnect. I tried switching frequencies, channels, and even turned off the extra features like GameFuel. Absolutely no difference at all. The D-link customer service is nonexistent. I have submitted two requests in the last two weeks and have not received a response. Please don't make the same mistake I did. I don't know how such an unreliable product got such a good review on Cnet. It certainly led me, as well as many others in the wrong direction.

    There has been several firmware updates to this router that have not only improved stability but also have added new functionality (SharePort, you can plug a Printer, USB memory Stick, USB hard drive ect and share to any PC connected to the network (software installation required))

    Update the firware and this is a solid router, very fast, very good looking and the only downfall becomes the steep price

    Get the firmware update 1.15 (11-10-2008) http://games.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=643&sec=4#firmware
