Tired of waiting for your router to catch up with YouTube videos? This one is really fast, was easy to set up, and offers a ton of features I may never use, but I like having them anyway.

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

Customer Reviews

Recommended! Worked great for me!
I've been wanting to upgrade from my Linksys wired router for a few years but held off due to mixed reviews and pricing on the newer Linksys wireless units.

I recently discovered the D-Link 655 and read mostly good reviews with some exceptions. I ordered the D-Link 655 on July 23rd and wow am I pleased. I used free super saver shipping with USPS and received the item on July 25th. I guess living in NJ helped with that as it appears the item shipped from Jersey City, NJ.

To setup the new router I used the included Network Magic setup CD and left my desktop computer hooked up to the internet through my old Linksys wired router and Cablevision / Optimum Online cable modem, as instructed. The item shipped with the old Firmware version 1.10 but ths did not cause any problems. The setup CD program found the old wired router and stepped me through every step of the way to setup the new wirelss router. Everything worked fine the first time. Using the Network Magic software, I hooked up two wired computers, one wireless laptop and my son hooked up his PSP wirelessly with no problems. Signal strengh and performance are excellent. The Network Magic setup CD also made my printer and "My Documents" folders shareable on my home network. I updated the Firmware to 1.11 from the D-Link support web site with no problems. There is a even newer Firmware version now available but I did not upgrade yet as it was just released earlier this month. Setting up WPA security was a bit more of a challenge, but I got that working in about an hour or two for all computers and my son's PSP.

I'm very pleased and highly recommend this product to anyone looking to easily setup a wirelss home network, including non-technical users.

very good
I'm very pleased with this product and I'm certainly recommend it. It's easy to set up and a few hours I have my wireless network o three computers, 2 PDA and a printer working properly.

This device is simple to install and works great. If the Install CD does not work, the instructions are simple to follow. A great value.
