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

 Compatibility issues July 2, 2009

I purchased the D-Link DIR-655 to replace a Linksys WRT54G2 that had failed after only 12 months. The install program on the supplied CD would not run, so I had to use the alternate setup by using the 192.168.1.1 address. Don't forget to start by updating the firmware, because if you set everything up first then update the firmware, you will need to repeat the setup process since this firmware update restores everything back to the factory settings. Total setup time was about 20 - 30 minutes.
The router worked OK for all of my devices except for my LG BD370 Blue Ray network player (used to stream Netflix and YouTube). I have a hardwire connection from my router to the LG BD370, so you would think it would be simple. For some unknown reason, the LG player would not properly connect to the internet. It would require 5 - 20 minutes and typically I would also need to log into the router itself and check the status. My Linksys router and an older Belkin wireless B router connected fine with the LG player with no issues at all.
After talking to technical support from both LG and D-Link, I was not able to get the issue resolved. The D-Link technical support was not very helpful. After several days of trying various settings and trying to get it to work, I decided to return the D-Link router...Amazon's return process is great and works very well.
I have since purchased the SMC SMCWGBR14-N router. After a 5 - 10 minute setup process, which included updating the firmware, everything is working as expected including the LG player with no issues at all.
 Excellent! July 1, 2009

*** Ignore any of the negative reviews based on one thing ***
- If your read the manual, do some research, and have half an ounce of geek in you, then this router is the BOMB!
It is not simple if you don't have some experience. But, it has all the bells and whistles any home network person could want. I increased the throughput of my son's xBOX, added 2 laptops, and one desktop. xBOX has priority on the net and all the other systems still have awesome speed.
D-Link customer support is crap, customer service is crap, BUT, this router is awesome. Never been a D-Link fan until now. If you want a great wireless router, this is the one!
If you don't know how to read and/or don't have the "geek" in ya. Then get the router and pay a geek to configure it for you. You will not be dissapointed.

I'm a computer user - not a programmer or hardware guy. I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of setup, and with the network speed. It's not the cheapest router you can buy, but not having to spend time figuring out how to get it to work was worth a little more.
Awesome July 1, 2009

There wasn't anything wrong with my old one, but
I bought a new one anyway. Worked 1st time out of the box.
I use Netflix streaming through a wireless adapter on my Tivo box.
Technically, it shouldn't make any difference, but now it works
so much better. Especially on rewind and fast forward.
I have 2 Tivo boxes and 7 laptops running wireless off this
router and it is all good.
Great piece of technology June 30, 2009

I'm very happy with this device. Very easy to install and the results were great. I connected my Computer, WII and my Ipod touch within minutes.
