Strengths:

Strong Connection and Good Range. 256-bit WEP. Easy to Use.

Weaknesses:

N/A

Posted Sep 11, 2003 - I like this router because of how easy it is to use. It also does an excellent job of keeping a solid connection with our flaky ISP. Plus the Wireless portion of this router works wonders. My mom uses her laptop like it is going out of style and I set her up with a wireless card and this router and she can't get over how fun a laptop is when it isn't tethered for internet access.

Strengths:

Ease of use.

Weaknesses:

Have to "tune" for best reception.

Posted May 23, 2003 - After purchasing this item I was greatly pleased to find that it immediately saw my laptop and coupled this with the other pc's on the router side. As I used the 614+ more and more, I discovered that setting the internal encryption and filters was of tremendous benefit. My signal strength was greater and was more consistent. I notice that you can also use VPN with this but I don't seem to have need for it right now. I recommend that anyone buying this router use the software help menu and set the security levels rather high. I certainly got better results in my house. Don't use the default settings!!

Strengths:

Easy to Install Easy to Use Fast Wireless Speeds Very robust in Features Detachable Antenna Looks Cool

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Sep 11, 2002 - This router was real easy to install, and configure correctly. I even upgraded the firmware quickly and easily. I like the fact that it has detachable antenna because I can later boost my range by adding a bigger antenna. (when I get the money) The wireless speeds are double that of the normal 802.11b/11Mbps networks and cost less than the 802.11a hardware. I haven't actually tried any other 802.11b networks, but after this experience I don't think I need to. The D-Link network I have now has faster speeds, easy to configure, and is ready for the future.

Strengths:

256-bit WEP, "Parental Controls", Easy setup, Good Wireless Range

Weaknesses:

I have expereinced none.

Posted Oct 10, 2002 - This router/access point has been a blessing. I was able to set this up with my DSL connection within about 10 minutes. I had to get everything plugged in, and just to make sure everything was up to date I upgraded the firmware before configuring the router. Upgrading the router is as easy as downloading a file and then within the web based manager in this router you just point to the newly downloaded file and press update. It took about 30 seconds to upgrade itself, but after it's done it was time to set it up. All setup consisted of was running the setup wizard and choosing your own settings. Not leaving the default settings is a good step towards keeping your network safe. I have been using this for about a month now and it hasn't rebooted on me (as far as I can tell) or anything bad. My DSL is stable speeds, my games work and I am happy.

Strengths:

Wireless, Advanced Router features, Acceptable wireless range, updates are frequent.

Weaknesses:

I haven't encountered any yet.

Posted Oct 16, 2002 - I have had this for about 2 weeks, but it has been plenty of time to play with some of it's features and test the everyday use for about a week or so. I have had acceptable performance as far as range within my home goes, although some spots in my home aren't able to get good enough signals. They are little spots though and I am betting things like my refrigerator, microwave, etc are getting in the way, but I can't be certain. I am also pretty impressed with the features that are accessable with this product via it's web based administration. Things like the advanced security, scheduled times when PCs can access the internet, trigger ports, etc. are all things that I was impressed with. I haven't used them all, but the features I did implement have worked great. The setup was also very easy to do. It basically works out of the box and all you have to do is configure it to communicate with your service provider.

Strengths:

Great Price, Excellent speed and range, expert technical support.

Weaknesses:

None!

Posted Oct 19, 2002 - After purchasing the router, I needed help setting it up and configuring. I called the Tech Support department and got right through! I spoke with a well informed individual who had my entire network installed and configured in less than twenty minutes. Everything works great, I love my D-Link products and would not hesitate to purchase again!

Strengths:

Configuration is very easy using the Wizard. I setup encryption to 128 along with a different channel and in just a few minutes was up and running.

Weaknesses:

Insufficient detailed help either on the CD.

Posted Nov 9, 2002 - Installation is a snap. Despite the thickness of walls in my building, range is very impressive, out to about 300 ft and connection is constant through out the day. Manuel could be much better explaining the many options. I especially like the ability to hide the SSID broadcast. I use it also with an AirPlus PCI Nic and indeed, speed is a little bit faster vs the standard 11MPS

Strengths:

256 bit WEP, MAC filtering, Great Range

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Dec 13, 2002 - This is the second WAP that I have owned (my previous one was a netgear). I am very impressed with this WAP. It has the ability to do URL and Domain filtering, in addition... Contrary to previous reviews, you CAN limit association by filtering MAC addresses. This WAP also allows you to disable SSID broadcasting. I would HIGHLY recommend this product.

Strengths:

Easy setup, switch router and wireless access combo, works great with my DSL

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Feb 13, 2003 - This product was very easy to setup, I ordered it online and when it arived I just read the little intruction book that came with it and did it step by step. I have two computers through a wired network and have one wireless laptop and one wireless palm pilot. I have yet to try the palm pilot but the two computers on the wired network and the wireless laptop work great. It took me about 30 min to setup the network and so far no problems.

Strengths:

Constantly improved with new firmware, better range and speed than other access points. Quick and easy set-up.

Weaknesses:

N/A

Posted Mar 15, 2003 - With the new 2.18 firmware, and 3.01 drivers, this router keeps getting better. After applying updates, my speed and range are up 30%. Many more innovative options like disabling bsid broadcast, and MAC filtering, and the logs. Goto www.dslreports.com/for... for help on how to set up this router if you are having problems. There is a new mode in firmware that does 4 times the speed of 802.11b, which is almost as fast as 802.11g (which is 5 times faster than 802.11b)

Weaknesses:

Posted May 13, 2003 - Unit is highly cost effective and easy to install and configure. Its cloning and DMZ features add extra utility for multi-PC interfacing to MAC address filtering cable modems. The web enable interface which requires no special PC client is also very nice.

Strengths:

Interoperability, space saver, and reliability

Weaknesses:

No On/Off button

Posted Jun 18, 2003 - This is a great product! I have cable modem, WinXP-Home in my desktop and Win98SE in laptop. Purchased this product in order to build a home network. In addition, it was a great price and has great looks (space saver, etc). In addition, purchased a D-Link wireless network adapter (DWL 650+) for laptop. This is my first home network architecture and speeds are fast and the communication between both operating systems is great (printer, file sharing, etc). I use this network over 6 hours a day and have not been in the need to reset router. In other words, it has not dropped my Internet connection. Also tried this product with another name brand/wireless network adapter and no problem. In the future, if I were in the need for additional networking components, I would not hesitate to consider D-Link as my first name brand option. Great job D-Link!

Strengths:

Good connection strength anywhere around my house

Weaknesses:

Inadequate documentation for setup. Had to do it all on my own

Posted Jun 26, 2003 - Setup took me about an hour, which could have taken 10 minutes or so, due to lack of good setup documentation. That said, I am writing this review sitting in a lawnchair in my yard, listening to the radio via the net. Not too shabby for $60.

Posted Aug 30, 2003 - Bought this unit a few days after dumping an SMC 7004VWBR ( SMC - Some More Crap ). The SMC unit wouldn't stay connected , which I found out I wasn't the only one. The 614+ connected from the start and remains connected.
