This review is from: D-Link DIR-628 RangeBooster N Dual Band RouterCustomer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I am in the business of IT and telecom.I have used some other high end WiFi AP and routers in my days.This DLink 628, even though just a consumer unit, has blurred the line between professional and consumer use wifi routers.The setup is a breeze. I was up and running (using Mac), without the set up CD, in less than 3 min. First on speed, it is fast. Side by side testing with the Dlink DIR655, they are both the same speed with all of the config being the same. The QoS feature is wonderful, you can prioritize by IP to many tiers. So now when my kids are playing games with voice and video, my html browsing can have priority over them. (Since in routing, the voice and video gets priority in getting transferred.)All in all, this is a wonderful unit for the price (only $75 now on Amazon).I would buy this one over the DIR 655 since I really don't see any speed improvement on the 655 but almost twice the price.I give it 5 stars and highly recommend it as a good buy....
This review is from: D-Link DIR-628 RangeBooster N Dual Band RouterCustomer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
My experience with the DIR-628 is mixed. It's a feature-filled router that may be wonderful, if you have all the parts to make it so. Background: I am an intermediate to advanced computer user with two desktops and two laptops on a wireless home network. I replaced a 4 year old Buffalo brand wireless router with the D-Link and had high hopes of increased Internet speeds, increased range and increased security for all of the computers on my network. I read the directions and manual prior to attempting setup, which definitely helps anyone setup a home network. Dual band (selective) is clearly explained in the manual which comes on the CD included with the router.First, the promises. Up to 12x's faster speeds and 4x's farther range. I did note a nice speed jump on all the computers. I already have a high speed connection (250-300Mbps) so it didn't make a huge difference, but about 20-30% faster. Range is a tough one. I note the signal is stronger than the older router, but I didn't roam across the street with a laptop to check it. RE: MIMO technology - I didn't notice any dead spots in my one level house, however I didn't notice them before either. On the box it says "You may need DWA-160 (usb adaptor)" to get more out of your network. Also under Recommended System Requirements on the side of the box it says "For Optimal Wireless Performance: Use with Dual Band N USB Adapter (DWA-160. REMEMBER: your wireless network is only as strong as your weakest link. If you have all of your computers running 802.11g... and one running 802.11n (draft), you'll only get the slower speed. Right now these adapters are about $80 each. Unless you need faster and can afford it, the `n' wireless setup might not be for you.Second, `easy to install'. Yes and no. The CD with the setup on it (run it on your main computer before you do anything else) has clear directions and pictures which help. The included Network Magic software is friendly, but it's trialware and will require you to purchase it after a 30 day trial. Not good in my opinion since you basically have all you need for seeing and maintaining a network through Vista or XP. It is visually appealing though, which made me install it...and then uninstall it when I figured out what it was and that I really didn't need it.The setup worked and I was up, but then I was down. I had to reset the router and/or cable modem multiple times. The router seemed unstable. I wonder if it was the "advanced WPA/WPA2" encryption or the two firewalls? Security is a frustrating...er, wonderful thing.Third, the dual band feature. It's there and you can set it to either the 2.4GHz band for email and internet or you can select the 5GHz band for streaming HD video (not terribly useful yet for me...) and enhanced VoIP (Internet voice phone calling). It would also be good if you wanted to add a home surveillance setup which uses Internet cameras. I think it's on the cusp of something great, but misses the mark.Finally, I had high hopes for something new and better, but frankly I don't think it's worth more t...
