this router is blazing fast , I have been using this router 4 over a year its awesome trust me i have recently compared it to the linksys E 42OO . this DIR-825 d link router is the best hands down . 4 online gaming there is nothing better .
The dual bands just arent worth the money unless you REALLY DO have insane amounts of insanely big packs that need to be transferred constantly. The single band routers do just fine if you just have. 1 360/1 PS3/1 PSP/DS/1 or 2 PC/And 1 or 2 Laptops/And maybe a smart phone or 2.
Just as long as they are not all connected at the same time. If you have just 3 or 4 of those connected at the same time you will get max speeds on a good single band wireless router. If not then you should Spend the $
@acepilot234 hi i am thinking on buying one of these i have the d-link dir 615 and i just died on my and was thinking on upgrading dose yours still work because mine lasted just over a year and i had lots of trouble connecting to it with my iphone
@NocturnalCastle yea this is perfect for it, no lag whatsoever. just bought this today for my ps3 and it is exceptional. all the other connections;ipod touch, laptop, wired connections; great.
@TheJamesfan23 hi i am thinking on buying one of these i have the d-link dir 615 and i just died on my and was thinking on upgrading dose yours still work because mine lasted just over a year and i had lots of trouble connecting to it with my iphone. and i want to play my ps3 wirelessly with no problems
Hmm, some research tells me that the 655 actually has better range than the new 825, can someone comment on this? And what type of antennae does it use, eg 6x6, 3x3 or something else?
the 655 has better reviews on newegg and i just bought one... if your looking for range then the 655 probably is better considering it has one extra antenna
I own this very router and have been using it for several months now, with several devices connected to it and it works flawless and its fast. D-Link gets an A+ in my book. =)
i dont care if we need a gateway dsl bla bla thing to connect this to the internet it is really design for home networking and yes no lags this very recommended to small to big office network lol
hey bro sorry to tell you but the wireless card in ps3 is g only and its pretty crap quality. sony is using cheap wireless cards not our gamers fault. now what you can do is get an laptop with a dualband wireless card and bridge it with your ps3. it will give you less lag and better speed then using ps3 wireless. another option even faster then the first one is using ethernet to get the max speed.
Actually - yes this WOULD work with ADSL. This D-Link is ONLY a router. It is not a home gateway. You HAVE to connect this box to your ADSL modem. BUT, this D-Link is not worth the money. I helped a friend install it. It's good in theory, but not practice. If you are using a ADSL gateway (modem and router), you would have to connect your gateway into the Lan port on this box. I still prefer the All-in-one home gateways.
i have a mac, xbox 360 and a nintendo wii, would you recoment this for me? i dont want any wires anywhere, i want it all wireless. what do i need? do i really need a wireless n adapter? does this product ever randomly shut off?
yea well u the right man to help me out, i got this big problem of choosing witch router would be best to be able to stream both my ps3 and ps3 at the same time cuz i got an old d-ling and when ever my gf plays cod4 on ps3 and me on diablo 2 well we both lag ALOT so plz help us out
I'm sure it would work if you have the wireless capabilities, I've got a Linksys Wireless N range boost and I have gotten my Wireless A+G cards to work on it, as long as you have the RJ port on the Wii, Xbox 360 will work with it, Macs should as long as its got a wireless or the RJ port. Not remembering the name of the CAT5 its like RJ-45 **DIdnt think to google** but a wireless signal is a wireless signal lol.
N routers might be good for inhome network transfers, but far as most of the internet in the US goes, it does not help any, cause most of the home Highspeed net connections are 6MPS or less, on cable or DSL lines. Also with most N Routers you have to buy the specific USB N card, or internal N card, or they will not work. at N speed say with a Netgear N card with a Trendnet N Router, you will get G speeds. They also make 108mps G routers from Netgear, and they work just fine, I have one. :-)
Depends on the laptop's N card. If it's not compatable with this N router, you will only get G speeds. Make sure to reseach the laptops wireless card if it's an N card, before buying a router. You might have to get something like a Netgear, Trendnet, or Belkin N Router. Not all N wireless routers are the same and, conform to specifc network specs like all Standard G/B wireless routers do, unless they are using G/B speeds.
Strange. This month's issue of MaximumPC reviewed this same router but said that it's not a true dual band router, it can't use both frequencies at once but can choose between the two.
Does not surprise me that Tiger is giving disinfo, on the product, just to sell it. MaximumPC sense it came out has been one of the best tech info sources around.
yea, like they haven't even reviewed one of the coolest graphics cards like ASUS 4870 Matrix ROG, which is ''the most intelligent graphics card on the planet''
These D-Link gaming routers have problems, with firmware, etc. Do your research before buying.
