![]() I never knew how much of a pain in the behind it would be to select a wireless router. Between Linksys and D-Link, I dunno who is better... or if one even is better than the other.
I did buy a D-Link DI-624 today though... and just did a quick search and the reviews are either A) People hate it. or B) People love it. Kinda makes me regret the purchase, but the reviews are so conflicting. The main problem seems to be that the connection is dropped very frequently, and that the router needs constant resetting. Does anyone here use one? Do you have any problems with it?? I want quality and the least amount of hassle, as I understand setting up a wireless router can be quite a pain. I have looked at the Linksys models, the WRT(forget the rest) .. and they seem to have similar reviews... but more good than bad I'd say. Thanks in advance for any input and advise.

![]() Have you looked at netgear? I have one and love it. I reset it maybe once every other month.
For constant dropping of the connection, do you have the newest firmware on the router? Have you tried changing the channel it broadcasts on? Is it near anything else that's electrical? Laser printer, cordless phone, etc? Do you have a 2.4GHz cordless phone in your house? It could be on the same channel as your router. |

Just wanted to see if it's true by other users (if there even are any on here) I suppose it could be a number of various things causing a dropped connection though... but it seems to be a very big problem for most people using this router.

![]() I used on in my office, it is a piece of crap, I spent many hours fixing network problems and getting disconnected. I ended up hard-wiring my network out of frustration. Return it.

![]() Hmm
They don't seem to be user friendly at all. Should I go with a Linksys?? If so, which model!? Therei s reviews saying that even Linksys is a bad make.

![]() I really don't like the Dlink stuff at all, it is a price brand nothing else.
Linksys has had some issues lately as well, no question about that. It's a pretty tough call right now, you could always give the Netgear stuff a try. |
