D-Link DI-604

THE BAD:
Two lock-ups over 4 months, requiring power-resets.

SUMMARY:
The DI-604 is a fantastic deal for the money, even though they screwed up my rebate!

Everything has run quite well over the last four months, with only two problems. First was no Internet access, when I then noticed the LED's on the front of the unit flashing as if I had just applied power, yet happening over and over. Pulling the power didn't correct it right away, so I let it sit for a few hours while I ran some errands. Once plugged back in, it seemed to work. Soon afterwards DLink issued another firmware update.

Since my recent update to 2.10 I saw corruption, or the lack of information from my Remote Management web screens. Once at home, I was getting the same issue, where I would not get all of the web graphics. Once again a power reset (5 minutes) worked. Other...

THE BAD:
Bit light. could easily be dragged if a cable was pulled

SUMMARY:
I have just got this router to share a broadband net connection between 3 pcs, and it works great! more features than i need, and easy to set up.

It's also really quick! i hardly notice other users on the net even when we're ALL playing multiplayer games.

Oh, and it's so damn cheap!!!

THE BAD:
Can't handle more than 4 PCs when connnected to additional switches and hubs, New Improved Firewall Faulty

SUMMARY:
I only had this product for 7 days and during those 7 days the product has failed way to many times without notice.

On the 7th day it completely failed to the point where it had to be returned for a full refund. Reason DOA

It just can't handle so much traffic and the packets get overloaded to the point the unit just freezes.

Upgraded the firmware, and still the unit won't display the internal access GUI which uses browser correctly keeps on losing image data blocks.

The New Improved Firewall is faulty leaving Port 113 Closed while all the others Blocked and ICMP port 8 open always no matter what you do to change it.

It's a shame that a company like D-link couldn't make this product better.

Now giving Linksys newest...
