Solid Router . The web interface for this router isn't all that great, and it's incompatible with dd-wrt and openwrt. However, the performance is solid, as I haven't yet ever had to reset this router. It happens to support all of the things I've needed to do with it, so hacking the firmware hasn't been necessary, anyway.

D-Link Xtreme N DIR-655 Gigabit Router Reviews
Fast and cheap MagicJack friendly . Bought this to replace a Lynksys wrt54gs due to its firmware butting heads constantly with MagicJack. This one has no problems with MagicJack. My son noticed increased speed on Xbox due to addtional gaming settings on router firmware.

D-Link Xtreme N DIR-655 Gigabit Router Opinions
Reliable fast router and cheap! . I'm a computer geek and I've got a sort of complicated network at home:
Wireless: iPad, Windows Phone, work laptop, one of my media center PC's
Wired: HomePlug bridge, Windows Home server w/8 TB of disk, media center PC, 2 home PC's, and an XBox-360My home router sees a huge amount of in-house traffic: all my machines are backed up daily to the windows home server. I've got a 4-tuner HD card in my recording media server, and it's set to archive ALL of its video to the windows home server. I handle a fair amount of internet traffic as well. Every day we watch 1-3 hours of NetFlix, and I watch an awful lot of YouTube and other videos, as well as pictures, syncing up work files (sometimes in the gigabytes), and so on.Overall the router behaves beautifully. I got it because I wanted a B/G/N wireless router (which this is), but also because of the gigabit wired ports. After all, all my machines are backing up to the windows home server every night, in addition to streaming HD video to and from the server from my media center and xbox! In the year that I've owned this router, I've had to reboot it only 2 or 3 times, and I'm not even sure those were really the router instead of (for example) the homeplug bridge or cablemodem. That's pretty amazing performance for consumer-grade hardware!The configuration pages for the router are a little confusing, but no worse than any other brand. Setting up my port rules and exceptions to be able to reach specific network services within my network from the internet was relatively straightforward. The auto-refresh for my DynDns.org port mapping has worked just fine too. If I had any complaint, it would be lack of explicit support for IPv6 transition technologies. But, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter too much.I'd buy one of these again in a heartbeat, if I was short on time to investigate the current state of the art.Pro:
- good wireless support
- gigabit ethernet, and it works great!
- handles high volumes of traffic over extended period of time with no problem
- very reliableCon:
- doesn't explicitly support IPv6 transition technology, e.g. ISATAP.Good router, well worth the moolah.

First time D-Link user . I have had other routers the last one being a Linksys WRT54G. I was hoping this would improve streaming since the N router is supposed to be the latest and greatest. It does handle multiple laptops better than the last but no great increase in streaming video compared to the WRT54G. The setup was simple using the wizard. If your router isn't working properly it's worth the money otherwise just keep what you have. If I have a problem with this router I can easily hookup the old one and still be happy.
