    "3 times unlucky"

    by sysguy on March 19, 2007

    Pros: Feature Set

    Cons: Woudn't work

    Summary: I tried 3 of these routers. I could not set up any of them. 2 would conitinual reset and drop the LAN connection and the other once fnally set up would reboot everytime I connected my Netgear WGT 511 V1 G card. Hardware Version A1 with latet 1.02 firmware out of the box. DlLink Support was n help after 3.5 hours. I have set up 50 to 75 routersfor clients in the past and never had problems like I did with this one. I tried several laptops to configure it. Continually resets and drops connections.

    I am having problems connecting to the router from Hughesnet. I have the small business package with Hughes so my modem is fast. My netgear router works fine but the Dir-655 will not connect to it. You can't get tec support on the phone and so far no answer to my email 2 hours and counting. Thank heavens the netgear still works.

    I'm not disputing the incredible bad luck sysguy had with these routers, but we bought one to install at a client's site and it worked perfectly right out of the box, with no hitches, glitches or any other problems whatsoever. 3 laptops connected wirelessly just fine (1 B, 2 G's). Range and coverage was good and WPA setup was straightforward.
