"Great concept, bad execution"
Pros: Very customizable, lots of advanced features, easy to configure
Cons: terrible antenna coverage, frequently drops, slow compared to airport extreme
Summary: I was pretty excited about this router when I bought it, but am really disappointed. I have never had as many problems with a router as I have had with this one. the coverage on the 5ghz antenna is terrible. It frequently goes from full to no coverage. It was very unstable. overall, I would not recommend it.

"Awesome router, but only after firmware upgrade to 2.02"
by Manimal79 on December 11, 2009
When I bought this router, it came with firmware version 2.00NA. I had some problems with this router when I first set it up. Wireless and LAN connections dropped randomly, and the 2.4 ghz wasn't even being transmitted. No matter how much I played around with the wireless, none of my computers were able to detect the 2.4 ghz band. Only the 5 ghz band was being detected, but the range was mediocre. Got pretty frustrated, called DLink tech support, and after not being able to fix the problem, the tech support guy tells me to upgrade the router to the latest firmware, which is 2.02NA, to see if that will fix the problem. I did that and lo and behold it works like a charm. All the problems I was having are all now gone.
