great range

Strengths: Excellent range, easy setup.

Weakness: none.

This things works great. The only thing I would beware of is that there are several different hardware versions of this device out there, so check the rev info on the dlink website before buying, to see if it is wireless n upgradeable.

Good router

Strengths: easy setup - good coverage

Weakness: none yet

Replaced my Belkin Pre-N router with this since Xbox live wasnt working too well with it. Upgraded to the newest firmware and my connection and Xbox Live are now running smoothly. There are 2 versions of this router with Ver. B2 being the latest. If you look on the side of the box by the UPC code, you will find that information.

DIR-615 Wireless N Router ( D-Link)

Strengths: Easy Installation//5X as fast as Belklin G Router

Weakness: Start up disc does not start up..

My old router (Belkin G) died, and had always been slow. As time went on it died a slow death.. This d link is excellent. It was a breeze to set up (even w/o the start up disk) and my laptop is working super fast. Thanks d-link..

At least it was cheap - You get what you pay for...

Strengths: Speed, Price

Weakness: Ease of configuration, compatibility, configuration performance

This is an ok router once you install the firmware update. When I opened the box, it had an installation CD and very little info. There was also tape over the ethernet connections saying to use the CD. The CD wizard is not Mac compatible (even though the box claims the router is), and an experienced network, and software engineer like myself should not need one to configure a router. So I pulled...

DLINK DIR-615 Wireless N Router (802.11b/g, draft...

Strengths: Good Looks, Cheap price, Reasonable radio range

Weakness: No 5GHZ Radio

First the retailer apparently sold me a return unit, so I wonder why it had been returned. It was missing the ethernet cable, and came with an extra phone cord from some other product. This is my fourth wireless router, and I felt I had plenty of experience configuring these things, but there are so many new features, I was initially overwhelmed. After a few minutes I was able to determine what...

D-link DIR-615 Wireless N Router

Strengths: Easy install, great speed

Weakness: None found so far

This router replaces my burnt out Belkin G router and it is night and day, especially if your system can handle N speeds of up to 300 MBPS, it is awesome with cable internet.

Not worth the headache

Strengths: Bought ours as a replacement several months ago and worked at first then after hours and days of support calls nothing and that has been months ago. Looking to purchase another model.

Weakness: setup and management of router sucks

too difficult to manage. worked at first but after a few months could not use the wireless feature. hard wire is fine. had to spend numerous hours and on phone with customer service and they could not figure out any problems other than interference although our old linksys worked fine for years until is could not access and we had changed channels, etc, and we had not done anything different to...

DIR-615

Strengths: Good range. price.

Weakness: Software configuration was a pain. I just connected the hardware to bypass it.

Overall this router is worth the price. However, I ran into some difficulty with the software configuration. The configuration worked once, but I had to reroute the ethernet cables due to my internet phone. Once I had the phone connected, I tried to reload the software and it would not detect the router.

D-Link DIR-615 Wireless N Router

Strengths: Easy to set up, better reception within my home than my current 802.11g (U.S Robotic)

Weakness: I dont see one yet

I think the router is a big improvement as far as signal strength, speed and lack of dead spots is concerned. I had a regular 802.11g which is not reliable and I get disconnected after a few hours from the internet. I have been using the DIR 615 for several days and I have no problems of that kind whatsover; I leave my computer on for hours and my internet connection is there in my main computer...

DIR-615 Drop outs (NOT WORTH THE MONEY)

Strengths: Strong

Weakness: Drops out connection when wireless at about 10 meters

WORKS GREAT FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS ON WIRELESS NETWORKING NOW IT KICKS MY COMPUTER OFF RANDOMLY WHENEVER IT WANTS TO SAYING INVALID IP ADDRESS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO AS IT SEEMS TO BE CONFIGURED RIGHT AND THE SUPPORT AND KNOWLEDGE YOU GET FROM D-LINK IS CRAP I RATHER TALK TO A MONKEY OR A WALL I WOULD GET BETTER KNOWLEDGE.
