Product Description
Create a wireless network to share high-speed Internet access with computers, game consoles, or media players from greater distances in your home or office. Using D-Link Xteme-N wireless products makes it really easy! The D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router is a draft 802.11n compliant device that delivers up to 14x faster speeds and 6x farther range than 802.11g while staying backward compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b devices. Connect the Xtreme N Gigabit Router 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, videos, printers, and network storage. With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including VoIP, Video Streaming, Online Gaming, and Web browsing are mixed together into a single data stream. By handling data this way, applications like video streaming could pause or delay. With D-Link's Intelligent QoS Technology, wired and wireless traffic is analyzed and separated into multiple data streams. These streams are then categorized by sensitivity to delay, so applications like VoIP, Video Streaming, and Online Gaming are given priority over Web browsing. This enables multiple applications to stream smoothly to your TV or PC. Delivering best-in-class performance, network security, and coverage, this router is the ideal centerpiece for your wireless network in the home or office. Backward compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b devices including game consoles and digital media players

 Excellent home router September 9, 2010
David A. Franklin (Indianapolis, IN USA)
We needed a new wireless router as our old one was just not capable of handling all the wireless computers we had attached to it. I did some online research and this looked like a good one.
My wife does all the setting up for our computers. She had a fit with the last one and she raved about the ease of this one. All our computers logged on quickly and we were up and running.
I would say this router is perfect for a large house with multiple computers. We have about 7 connections and we aren't dropped like we were with the old router.

Great product, easy to install and use. I have it in the basement and my laptop can access my home network fom anywhere in the house and out on the deck as well. For the home user on a private network it is an excellent buy. Amazon's policy and support are an added plus.

Excellent price and performance combination. I had an old Netgear router that was dropping pages and connections all the time, and after analyzing all routers on the market for home needs I found this one and went with it. As far as setup goes, I am the kind of person that always screws something up and has it take much longer than I expect to install things. Although once again I managed to screw it up, it still only took 20 minutes to get this installed. It has been a joy---reliable, fast, and efficient thus far. I highly recommend this router.
Great Product!!! September 7, 2010

Just replaced a Cisco with this unit and the difference is incredible! The Cisco would constantly cycle off and need to be rebooted at least five times a day. The D-link DIR-655 has been flawless since day one! I was hoping for a little more range though. The unit is on a different floor of the house than where I use my laptop and the distance is about 30 feet. In hindsight, the standard "g" model would have probably done just a good since my main reason for getting the "n" was for range. Remember that even the fastest ISP can only hit ~50Mps, so the "n" only helps if transfering files between computers on the network and not improve your "surfing" or "online streaming" speed.

This is just a badly designed product, does not function fully, returned to Amazon next day:
Setup is very hard, and made so complicated, not user friendly at all. The setup doc is not correct. For this kind of product, there should not be any setup needed for connecting to a cable Internet modem. Should just work as soon as powered up. Linksys and Netgear all work straight up without any setup needed. However, this product requires you go through its badly designed device setup procedure for nothing, and user manual suggested incorrect procedure. For example, it says that it requires Internet to set it up. Well, I need it to be set up to have the Internet to begin with, right? What a Chicken and Egg procedure is that? For masses of novice users, it is all trouble. After I took a lot of time to set it up, it still does not work with one of my computer on the wireline port connection, and it also does not work with my wireline connected network printer. This rounter just can not sense this network printer on the network. Both of these 2 devices were working with my old Linksys rounter before I installed this router. All the WiFi functions seemed working. Without hesitation, I returned this product to Amazon the next day. This product wasted me a lot of time, not worthy of the money saved from its cheap price. D-link needs to seriously improve its product quality, design, and user friendliness. I remember now I had a similar problem 10 years ago when I bought a simple D-link router for really cheap sale price and returned it next day for it was not fully functional either.
