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
Everything I wanted from a router - Reviewed on 2009-01-06
Before this router I had a Linksys WRT54G running custom DD-WRT firmware for three years. The router eventually gave up after lots of peer-to-peer traffic, and I chose the D-Link DIR-655 to replace it.
Setup for the D-Link was absolutely basic. The web configuration interface is extensive and easy to understand. I was up and running in about five minutes out of the box. There are a couple of annoying screens, such as the static list of 50 or whatever port forwarding rules, but most of the interface is top notch.
As far as performance goes, the D-Link now has an uptime of one month, since I got it, and has successfully hosted multiple wireless laptops, peer-to-peer traffic, streaming of video from Netflix, online gaming, all without a hiccup. The range is excellent, too. I live on the fourth floor of an apartment building and my iPhone will stay connected and working as I walk down the stairs (through a couple of walls from the router) to the outside, and then as I walk around the building. Nice to have full connection when I am walking the dogs. :)
