D-link DHP-1320 Wireless Router - 300 Mbps DHP-1320 Routers & Gateways - Wireless
This review is from : D-Link DHP-1320 Wireless N PowerLine Router
Half OK . This is a new power-line combo with a wireless N router so I thought it would be great in my office and extendable throughout my home. No such luck for the second part (see my review of the wireless extender DHP-W306AV). As a N router is seems fine. The CD-set up was not helpful, very confusing, and for example, did not connect to my FIOS(Verizon) router although the account/password was correct, or give me a choice of FIOS as an internet source. So I just plugged it into my current set up as I expected it to go, and after a bit with D-link support was up and running (support was fine). Namely: several devices into one 8-port switch. This switch into the 1320 router via one cable. The uplink from the router into a spare port in my Verizon router/FIOS connection. So I have both the Verizon and the D-link wireless networks going. Not sure if I can unplug the Verizon one and go directly D-link to FIOS (probably), don't want to spend the weekend trying this out. I do think that setting up these networks is terribly wasteful of time and effort. Why should I have to fight with IP addresses? And now I have a power-line N router which only does the N-part.
The wireless signal seems strong enough locally, but not enough for the house, so I am going to try a repeater, since the power-line option did not take. I have the Hawking HWREN1 Hi-Gain Wireless-300N Range Extender on order.
Update: the Hawking arrived and was set-up in 10 mins to give a strong signal throughout the house. No problems so far. Clearly the way to go for my situation.

D-Link DHP-1320 Wireless N PowerLine Router Reviews
it works but wifi is kinda slow . I purchased it to replaced a "repaired" powerline wireless adapter (two capacitors popped due to low working voltage than system required).
The basic setup is kinda straight through. As I use Clearwire, I have to use fixed IP on both (this router and modem) so I can setup DMZ to the router.
Wireless setup is easy, but you have to know how do you setup WPA2 (use personal for home use). The transmission is about the same as the wireless router I used though the antennas can be removed.
Network setup is a bit tricky because I encountered "IP conflict" error with laptop which causes a lot of disconnection. Assign an IP fixed.
PLA (homeplug AV) is a bit tricky too. Make sure you know your assigned network name, and you have to write down the opponent adapter's 16 (4+4+4+4) character password. Plug the adapter next to the router (you know you MUST plug it to the wall jack directly as surge protector blocks out the signal). The router will detect the adapter then you can enter the password and both are connected (I use Belkin and Actiontec powerline AV adapters and they wall work). It looks like it has a bit higher actual data rate (the setup shows 170Mbps and I get 20-30Mbps) with adapter upstairs (I use it to associate with several wireless APs).
Wifi is a bit slower even in N mode (I get 8Mbps with wifi when I get 11Mbps with network cable when I did several speed tests with Clearwire). This is a reason why I give 4.
Generally I think I get a good unit so far, but make sure you give good air ventilation as it's warm to touch.
I recommended it if you got a good unit.

D-Link DHP-1320 Wireless N PowerLine Router Opinions
Great router. . This is an update. The first one I received was DOA. It kind of worked, but mostly did not. I sent it back and got a replacement, and the replacement works flawlessly. VERY happy (now) with this purchase.
I now recommend this product completely.
