"Great Router !!"
Pros: Speed is fantastic, Set up is very easy. Gigabit ports A++
Cons: Coverage didn't improve much
Summary: I bought this router a week ago and it took me 5mn to set it up. Very nice...You need to upgrade the firmware to 1.01 THEN to 1.02. It can't get directly to 1.02. I used to have Belkin, Netgear and recently Dlink 624. This is a major change, the connection is way more stable and I didn't have any drop whatsoever. The speed is fantastic. I'm not that impressed with the coverage though, it is just slightly better than what I used to have with my DI 624, maybe I have too many walls in-between... I live in a 3,500 square feet house and I don't know if DLink considers that a large house or not. I didn't try the WPA security feature yet but the WEP works fine for me. The QOS for my VOIP made my phone conversation more clear. I must add I use my existing b and g adapter in mixed mode and it's already very good. I can't wait to upgrade to a n adapter for my laptop. I'll share my feedback then.

You are correct, you won't see the expanded range or much improvement in the speed (except with wired equipment) until you are using an adapter that utilizes the -n technology.
Wired equipment will get a real boost if your LAN adapter has a 10/100/1000 swich.
Since the router is backwards compatible it will downgrade the communication protocol to the B or G of your current wireless adapter or 10/100 mbps of your wired adapter.
