"Watch your firmware update"
Pros: Very easy to configure.
Cons: Initially, it drops the wireless connection frequently. Firmware upgrade helped. But please read on.
Summary: Many users have already written numerous reviews on this router. I do not want to repeat anything here. But I would like to share my experience with firmware upgrade on this router.
When I first set up the router on WPA about a year ago, the wireless connection dropped frequently. Then one day, I realized that I should visit D-Link's web site to check if a firmware update is available. Sure enough, there was a "newer" version. So I downloaded the firmware file, and updating the firmware was a piece of cake.
However, the router refused to operate under WAP wireless after the firmware update. To continue using the wireless router, I had to change to the less secured WEP.
I went to Office Depot (where I bought the router) and talked to a staff about the problem after the firmware update. He told me to update the firmware one more time to ensure that it is installed properly. I downloaded the same firmware file again, and updated the firmware one more time. Bingo! The router is working very well again in WAP, without any disconnection. Thanks to the Office Depot staff.
If you experience any problems after a firmware update, repeat the update once more. That may just cure the problem altogether.

This is has been repeated many many times. I've communicated with OEM and they say 'just type the info back in' -- No! When a LOT of configuration is done, re-fat-fingering is impracticle.
