1.Good Buy

After a little trouble setting the router code (most likely my fault) the device has been working flawlessly from day one. Down load speed is terrific. I would get another ,if needed, without hesitation.

2.dlinkgo Router $ cheap

Actually the D-Link DIR-501 router works fine but only had it for about a month. This item is realiable enough and your money goes a long way. I am satisfied but I just hope it last and only time will tell. One thing about this I can tell you that the people you call to help you install are professionals and patient. I recommend any problems call technical support. Just be nice to the operators because I am telling its hard working with people that doesn’t know alot abou t computers. I am so thankful they resolve my problem.

D-Link DIR-645 User Reviews:

D-Link introduced its own by announcing its Amplifi family of high-performance home networking solutions.

The company says the new products are designed to offer fast performance for even the most demanding connected homes. They include two routers (the HD Media Router 1000 with HD Fuel DIR-657 and the Whole Home Router 1000 DIR-645), a Wi-Fi Booster (DAP-1525) and three Powerline 500 products (DHP-500AV, DHP-501AV, and DHP-540). Though announced today, most of these products were first introduced during CES 2011 D-Link says that the HD Media Router 1000 with HD Fuel (DIR-657) is capable of automatically managing traffic flow and and prioritizing broadband connections for different services, such as media streaming, gaming, or voice over IP. The router boasts Gigabit Ethernet ports, USB SharePort Plus, and an SD card slot for accessing HD media and streaming USB devices.

The Whole Home Products with SmartBeam, similarly, optimizes home wireless network bandwidth to handle HD video streams. D-Link claims that its SmartBeam uses six multidirectional antennas to find and track individual devices, then focuses beams of bandwidth to those devices, to ensure stable wireless connections.

Both new routers are single-band (2.4Ghz) and supports 300Mbps wireless N standard. This is rather surprising, as most recent high-end routers feature true dual-band and/or the higher 450Mbps wireless standard. To make up for this, both of the new routers support IPv6 natively.

The new Wi-Fi Booster (DAP-1525), on the other hand, does support dual-band (selectable 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz). It’s essentially a wireless bridge, similar to the D-Link’s previous version, the DAP-1513, and is designed to extend an existing router’s wireless signal to up to four Ethernet-ready devices. The new device features Gigabit Ethernet, SharePort Plus, Wi-Fi Protected Setup, and IPv6 support.

If the new routers seem a little behind the time due to the lack of support for true dual-band, D-Link’s new Powerline products are all features the latest 500Mbps speed (as opposed to the 200Mbps of the HomePlug AV standard). The three new products include a single adapter (DHP-500AV), a kit that include two adapters (DHP-501AV), and a PowerLine AV 500 four-port Gigabit Switch (DHP-540). Apart from that, they share the same function of turning a home’s electrical wiring into a network, extending the existing network to the far corner of the home.

Apart from the DIR-645 that will be available in August (at the estimated price of around $120), the rest of the products are available now. The HD Media router DIR-657 is slated to cost $150, the Wi-Fi Booster (DAP-1525) is $160 and the three Powerline products, DHP-500AV adapter, DHP-501AV Starter Kit and DHP-540 Four-Port Gigabit Switch have the price tags of $100, $160, and $200, respectively.

Dual band performance with up to 300Mbps speed on each band. Dual Band means you can power multiple wireless devices, simultaneously, without sacrificing connectivity. It’s like having 2 high-performance Wi-Fi networks in your home.

The D-Link® Wireless N Dual Band Router (DIR-815) features simultaneous wireless bands with a faster wireless network than previous generation wireless G devices, enabling you to create a faster Wi-Fi network with superior home coverage. Connect the DIR-815 to a cable or DSL modem and provide high-speed Internet access to multiple computers, game consoles, and media players. Create a secure wireless network to share photos, files, music, printers, and more, from greater distances throughout your entire home or office. With D-Link’s award-winning QoS engine that prioritizes time-sensitive online traffic, this router enables smooth Internet phone calls (VoIP) and responsive gaming.

DUAL BAND ADVANTAGE

Dual Band is two Wi-Fi networks in one router. The dual band technology in the DIR-815 supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless signals simultaneously. You can check e-mail and browse the Internet using the 2.4GHz band while playing games and streaming HD movies on the clearer 5GHz band. This prevents both signals from getting overloaded and avoids interference and lag when you’re watching movies or gaming.

Features

D-Link DHP-1320 User Reviews

The D-Link DHP-1320 PowerLine Router is the first all-in-one router we’ve seen, and it delivers for the most part. The router offered decent close-range wireless speed and worked well with most HomePlug AV adapters in our testing. It also has an USB port and a decent set of features that can be conveniently managed via its responsive and well-organized Web interface.

On the downside, the router doesn’t feature dual-band or support Gigabit Ethernet and comes with just three LAN ports, whereas most wireless routers have four. For the street price of around $85, however, it’s a good buy for a home that requires a flexible network and doesn’t have intensive networking needs.

The good: The D-Link DHP-1320 Wireless N PowerLine Router incorporates HomePlug AV power-line technology and works with other HomePlug AV-compliant power-line adapters. The router offers fast wireless throughput speed, long range, and IP6 support, and is easy to use.

The bad: The D-Link DHP-1320 has only three LAN ports and doesn’t support Gigabit Ethernet, dual-band wireless, or the 500Mbps power-line standard. The router’s range throughput could be better and it’s a little bulky.

The bottom line: Supporting Wireless-N and HomePlug AV, the D-Link DHP-1320 Wireless N PowerLine Router is an id
eal router for a home network that favors flexibility over performance. Its lack of support for Gigabit Ethernet, dual-band wireless, and the 500Mbps power-line standard, however, makes it less suitable for those who need to share or stream a large amount of data.

Xtreme N Gigabit Router(D-Link DIR-655)

The Xtreme N® Gigabit Router creates a powerful Wi-Fi computer network in your home and is jam-packed with features. It’s our most highly rated router for a reason.

Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router(D-Link DIR-825)

It’s like two routers in one. This Xtreme N® router operates on dual band Wi-Fi signals, making it easy to stream HD content while browsing the Internet without bogging down your network.

mydlink-enabled Wired Network Camera(D-Link DCS-1100)

The mydlink-enabled Wired Network Camera (DCS-1100) comes with everything you need to quickly add a surveillance camera to your home or small office network. It works right out of the box.

It’s a compact tower unit that resembles the old DSN-1100 model, with a lockable door that opens to reveal the five hot-swappable drive carriers. Drives are secured in the quick-release carriers with four screws. Below the door is a small 128-by-32-pixel OLED status display showing the IP address, system status and error messages. Each drive has a small activity light visible — although not that easily in daylight — through the door.

At the rear are the twin Gigabit Ethernet ports, which support a variety of network link aggregation, adaptive load balancing and failover protocols, plus two USB ports with storage and printer support. Two fan outlets provide ventilation, with automatic or manual fan speed control. We noticed very little noise in normal operation with two disks, and even at full speed the fans were not excessively noisy. The unit can be configured to hibernate after a set period, and daily power-down and power-off times can be scheduled.

After installing the two 1TB Hitachi HDT721010SLA360 drives provided by D-Link for this reviews (the system is sold as a bare enclosure), we ran the EZ-Search discovery utility to gain access to the web configuration interface. A System Wizard quickly walked us through the basic steps of configuring the network interface and file-sharing protocols before asking what type of array to create. We chose a RAID-1 array, and the entire setup was completed in well under five minutes. Two other wizards take you through the process of creating users, groups and shared folders. All the wizards are reasonably simple, but they lack explanations of more advanced settings such as ‘oplocks’ and ‘map archive’. The PDF manual helps a little, but more detailed guidance for NAS novices would be useful.

The ShareCenter Pro supports RAID 0-6 (with hot spares and auto-rebuild capabilities), plus JBOD concatenation modes, and arrays can be easily extended, expanded or migrated between compatible RAID levels at any time. Volumes can be encrypted and unlocked either at system start or when a USB unlocking key (an optional step in the volume creation process) is inserted.

D-Link’s EZ-Search utility lets you partition and format drives, and map shared folders

Mapped shares and iSCSI targets can be enabled concurrently, and after enabling an iSCSI target in the web interface (with optional CHAP authentication), drives can be partitioned and formatted using the EZ-Search utility if you don’t want to use Windows’ own tools. EZ-Search can also be used to map shared folders. Virtual volumes can be created by combining other iSCSI targets on the network.

The configuration menu is admirably uncluttered and fairly easy to follow — but again, spending time with the contextual help pays dividends. For example, at first glance it’s not entirely obvious what Web File Manager and Download Manager do. The help file reveals these are remote file access and file download scheduling features, and they work very well. Users can log into the AjaXplorer application remotely via a web browser to upload, download and organise shared files. The Download Manager supports either FTP and HTTP downloads.

Remote backups can be made to either another D-Link NAS or an Rsync server; volume snapshots, local file/folder backups and backups of external USB drives are also supported. A single-user copy of FarStone Total Backup Recovery Server software is bundled for client imaging, backup and restore. A recycle bin can be created for each shared folder for protection against accidental deletions.

To integrate with larger networks, an SNMP MIB is provided on the CD, and network discovery using either UPnP and LLTD ensures compatibility with Windows 7’s network map. All common file sharing protocols are supported. Smaller businesses will appreciate the dynamic DNS support, using either D-Link’s own service or DynDNS. Email alerts for a variety of system parameters (such as a full disk or overheating) and errors can be configured, and log files can also be sent to an administrator on a regular basis. User management is particularly easy, with the ability to batch-create users or import from a text file. Disk quotas can be assigned to each user.

We did run some performance tests using Passmark Performance Test — but, as mentioned, the ShareCenter 1200-05 is sold unpopulated so these results only apply to our specific review setup. With our 1TB RAID-1 array, on a mapped folder, a single File Server workload thread returned throughput of 38MB/s, dropping to 17MB/s for four simultaneous threads. The standard disk test returned a Passmark disk score of 445, with sequential reads of 54.6MB/s, sequential writes 39.6MB/s and random seeks and read/write performance of 28.9MB/s. These figures improved when repeated on an iSCSI target, giving a Passmark disk score of 508.4 (with component scores of 67.7, 38.8 and 34.1MB/s respectively). A single-thread File Server workload test achieved 41.5MB/s.

The ShareCenter D-Link DNS-1200-05 is a capable NAS enclosure that does a decent job of straddling the divide between consumer-level NAS and more complex enterprise systems. Its ease of use and advanced RAID capabilities makes it an attractive, if expensive, option for the smaller network, and some administrators will no doubt welcome the lack of consumer-focused add-ons such as media servers that tend to clutter up many general-purpose NAS boxes.

DPG-1200 Reviews:

1.”As an IT Professional, I like this product.” by dapresley

Pros: I do not have cable and use the product to watch streaming video over the Internet. With my high speed connection, the performance is consistent enough for me. I own 2 DPG-1200 devices.

Cons: It is not compatible with Windows 7. I phoned tech support and was told that they are working on bringing it up to this level.

Summary: If you are a technical person with a high speed Internet connection, this product works as advertised. It is also a bargain for the price. Fry’s Electronics sells it for $99. I read the other reviews, which are very negative. The installation was no more trouble for me than any that involve several components.

2.”Great concept, but nowhere near ready for Prime Time” by johnk5k

Pros: A simple network interface for audio/video is exaclty what we need

Cons: VERY fickle installation, terrible customer support. MAJOR audio driver problem.

Summary: 2 Thumbs up for concept, but certainly not ready for prime time.
The current (March 2009) release version of the DPG-1200 is very fickle, installation can be nightmarish. It reconfigures your audio and video drivers so that in the final step of the installation wizard you can?t even find the finish button! Multiple hits on the ENTER key usually work, but if you panic and default out of the install it is Control Panel time because you are left with no audio, and an 800 x 600 display.

The most subtle but unacceptable problem with the DPG-2100 is the D-Link PC2TV audio driver which emphasizes your low frequency (bass) so severely that you?ll think that there is something very wrong with your stereo, this problem alone puts the DPG on the scrapheap until D-Link gets it figured out.
