D-Link DGL-4500 Xtreme N Gaming Router

[fpsjustin419]

This router BLOWS not only is it complicated to setup you have to use a modem also when using game fuel your NAT type is not OPEN in other words you cant connect to some people this is a terrible router waste of money do not be like me and waste 170 $ Do yourself a favor and get the Asus gaming router HEED MY WARNING

[ZenNnXD]

>:)

[OTAKUJHE]

Just freaking connect it directly to ur modem!!! There! U got an awesome connection!!!

[BroFullySik]

@OTAKUJHE Well if you think about it were not always near the freaking router to get the BEST SPEED!!!!

[eagleman161956]

getting one to go and kill me some brother nazis

[JustAtyper]

is there an AOSS button?

[plethoreproductions]

what if to people r gaming at the same time?

[justafied64]

this router is shit it always disconnectes me while im playing online games.

[snake32bit]

i have it its a really good router

[IraqiDude321]

If it get this router do I have to go through bull shit to keep it open nat when I game?

[luke1991132]

I can only find this for sale in the US and im in the uk were can i get one from or just get it sent from US and will it still work over here??

[XxLuXxSniPzZ]

If i buy this can I host games in future ? caus now i have a zyxel router and thats real shit

[DotorMetal66]

This is an adsl router?

[LuvDatRemix]

so, this router is great for gaming AND for computers?

[SuffixezHD]

umm is this router discontinued?

[rutabuga]

this guys still an idiot, there is no head up display.

[xWondurPet]

Can i have two ps3s playing online without timing out using this router ?

[deagle517]

Can I replace my old 2 Linksys wired routers with this and an extra switch? This would be hooked up to my modem.

[mylegs123]

i love this router but it sometimes gets really touchy. One other downfall is that its a dlink. so if theres a problem your on your own cause the customer service is pretty much non existent

[d1v4dPwnz]

Can't you just connect it straight to your ps3? I don't need it for the computer.

[mylegs123]

@d1v4dPwnz when you say connect straight to your ps3 do you mean like non wireless. Anyway the 4 gigabit ethernet ports at 2:48 is what you use. connect an ethernet cord to the port and then directly to ur ps3, reset router if needed. You also said you dont need the router for a computer, if your using a router for no wireless devices and just a directly connected ps3 then dont. if you connect your ps3 just from the wall/internet modem it will always be faster than with a router.

[d1v4dPwnz]

@mylegs123 Yah, I was asking if I can directly hook it up to my PS3 (ethernet). I don't understand your last sentence however.

[mylegs123]

@d1v4dPwnz oh i was saying that you can hook ur ps3 directly through the router but connecting without router is always a faster speed. so i guess the point im trying to make is if you dont need wireless dont get the router. i say this cause someone before had a xbox hooked up to the modem and got this router thinking the gamefuel will speed it up, when actually it just slowed him down cause his connection just has to go through another item (router)

[Darrion115]

Pause at 32 sec funniest face

[flappymcbobjoe35]

Forget this I'm gettin a netgear

[Alooy10q8]

I NEED HELP OVER HERE SOMEBODY ANSWER THIS QUESTION PLEASE I WILL BE VERY PLEASED :)

I USE LAPTOP AND PS3 ... WHICH IS I NEED 2.4 GHZ AND 5.0GHZ BUT BY THIS ROUTER U CAN SWITCH WHENEVER U WANTED TO 5GHZ OR 2.4... BUT THE DIR-855 XTREME N DUO MEDIA ROUTER USES BOTHS !!

I AM SO COMPLICATED THE N DUO IS 299$ AND THE GAMING IS 199$

WHAT THE HELL SHOULD I CHOOSE ?! I AM A GAMER.. HEAVY GAMER !!

THNX :)

[chowcow3113]

i just go this router :) from ncix

[Scottehs]

Someone should buy me this router. :)

[DontUseAGunForThat]

will this work with an xbox?

[mylegs123]

@DontUseAGunForThat yes

[rexthompson]

is he reading a teleprompter or something because someone review a router should know that it's U R L not "earl"?

[D1G3RAT1]

@rexthompson He was obviously joking: reading URL like the "url" in "curl."

[shabbyrosecottage]

This router is a joke you cannot connect multiple computers in the same house to open ports for the same games. There is no port forwarding. I thought I was upgrading from the DIR-655 for better gaming. You can only have 1 computer in your home set-up for ports for gaming. D-Link suggested I should switch to the DIR-655. The DGL-4500 is not a real gaming router, no one at dlink knows anything about it.

[c0deRealitycom]

@shabbyrosecottage you're an idiot bro, I've had this router for over a year, and yes, there IS forwarding, you CAN connect multiple PCs/forward multiple ports to multiple PCs, etc. i've never had that issue. you probably just don't know how to use the thing.

/networking major

[shabbyrosecottage]

@c0deRealitycom I was told this information about the ports from the second level support at dlink support. They told me to return this DGL-4500 and that the technical flaw is that you cannot have 3 computers in the same house with ports open to play a game like WOW.  No one at dlink knows how to hook this up form more tha a single pc. Do you have multiple computers in your home playing the same game a t the same time, or only mulitple ports open on your single pc.

[c0deRealitycom]

@shabbyrosecottage multiple ports open for multiple PCs

update your firmware to the 1.22na one and then use forwarding with advanced -> virtual server

works fine, and i've got more than 1 pc forwarded and more than 1 port forwarded, no problems whatsoever.

[EatdatWatermelon123]

does it require bateries

[BlueMakavelian]

its U R L not EARL buddy

[xtremegamer4696]

@BlueMakavelian meh, some people say url... dont gotta troll so hard.

[xtremegamer4696]

So, Say I have multiple people playing LoL or SCII on my network at the same time, Will the game fuel prioritize equally to the two computers or will it kill one and boost the other?

[Intrdmnsion]

@xtremegamer4696 Equally. Not that it matters though. You can game with more than two systems at once. Games don't require heavy data transfers while playing online. The only thing that could possibly "kill" your online gaming experience is if you suddenly start downloading something off the Internet, load a webpage, etc.

Online gaming doesn't require much bandwidth. Basic web browsing does/downloading as well.

[Kurtayy95]

mmk, so with the opening ports for games.. I noticed it said Ip address, say I wanted to open a port on my ps3 I would gather the ports for the game and input that into that window there and then put my ps3 ip into that so it will be forwarded? correct?

[laxerbaxer37]

Hey do you need wifi at ur house for this to work or does it connect to the internet by itself?

[mylegs123]

@laxerbaxer37 i dont understand ur question. this is a router (in other words it creates wifi in ur house). the lan internet cable connects to the router and creates a wifi network for all wireless devices in the area. if your asking if you need wifi enable devices then yes you do. most modern computers have this feature but if not you can buy a wireless card to plug into a computer that doesnt have it

[matticus12345]

@laxerbaxer37 you plug your internet into it the same as any router....then you have wifi in and around your house or you can plug into the back of it.

[SONYElectronic]

@laxerbaxer37 I dont know what you mean but when you have this connected thats when you have wi-fi and if you want to connect to a computer wireless then you will need to turn on the wifi or buy a wireless card

[mylegs123]

i like this router but my connection was 300mbps then i updated it to the current version and can only get 130mbps (still better than my old 60 or my friends 30) how do i get back to 300? Also this router doesnt seem so reliable with multiple connections (i have 2 laptops, mac, and xbox using comcast) is awesome when only one is running tho.

[matticus12345]

@mylegs123 You get 160mbps? WTF I only get 7mbps and i share that with 2 computers, 2 ps3s and ipod touch.....

[mylegs123]

@matticus12345 u need certain settings like under the basic tab in 192.168.0.1 u need "2.4GHz"/ "Mixed 802.11n and 802.11g"/ "best (automatic)"/ "20/40 MHz" and the big one is WPA security. WPA2 only selected with AES cipher. with all those settings it should jump up to 130.0 mbps

[matticus12345]

@mylegs123 My internet company only sends 7mbps to my house though..... I cant make that faster can I?

[mylegs123]

@matticus12345 i dont think so i have comcast so theyre pretty fast

[matticus12345]

@mylegs123 how much is your bill each month?

[mylegs123]

@matticus12345 i dont know i dont pay it but im pretty sure comcast is one of the more expensive ones

[hellboy6662009]

Tell me does this router have an open nat type thats why im watching this video please reply back i really need to know the answer to this question

[farshad040]

Is this better then WNDR3700

[yubetuberocks]

cool, but can it blend?

[NaivePheonix]

I need to know how to change the NAT type to Open

[aureliocertified]

@NaivePheonix Put your console's ip in the menu of the router, where says dmz host you put the ip that uses your console/pc.

[TheEliteGuy]

@NaivePheonix for xbox or ps3?

[NaivePheonix]

@TheEliteGuy PS3

[TheBattleBoar]

@TheEliteGuy your stupid it works for both dumb ass!!! LOL

[mylegs123]

hey i got this router and love it but it keeps dropping to a lower connection anyone know how to fix it?

[beats996]

would this router run good with broadband?

[beats996]

so you think this router wouldn't be all that fast when using two ps3's online?

[JayzBeerz]

i can't believe some of the comments below me you'll some dumb mother fuckers

[Filipinoborn]

How much does this go for??

[MegaDeathwarrant]

@Filipinoborn go to a website called google.com and type in this router then you'll know.

[Filipinoborn]

@MegaDeathwarrant Cool!!! But, is the website safe??? I don't want any spywares or anything infecting my comp..

[messos]

@Filipinoborn You are such a dumb ass.

[Filipinoborn]

@messos You're the dumb ass for thinking I was serious....

[messos]

@Filipinoborn Yes you are.. just be your self and admit it. =)

[Filipinoborn]

@messos Haha, I'm an IT at Silicon Avenue Computers... Also known as SiForce/SiliconAveDOTcom... We're located at Pomona, CA... The reason why I ask how much it is, cause I wanted to know if I can get it cheaper at work... But, instead of answering a simple question, another DUMBASS said "go to a website called google.com". Had to be a SMARTASS, so I replied sarcastically, just to piss him off, but apparently, you replied to it like a DUMBASS... THAT MAKES YOU A DUMBASS!!!

[desertfox1792]

@Filipinoborn on new egg they are selling it for $100 on sale. Just ordered one. =)

[Filipinoborn]

@desertfox1792 Thanks, man... I got one already. Got it for the same price at work.

[teddyernie]

@Filipinoborn about 200$

[moss33]

i have comcast 13.9 dl speed and 2.0 upload speed

my brother and i have trouble playing xbox360 and ps3 at sametime online!

any suggestion for a wireless router that may solve this?

right now we have a lynksys wrt120N-wireless N and we lag when we both get online. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[LBGreenthumb]

@moss33 do you have the gaming consoles on a 5ghz band or 2.4? and how far away is your router from your consoles? also your internet bandwidth isnt the best for gaming, a good test is play one console at a time if you dont have any lag then your router and or internet connection just isnt fast enough. I have verizon fios (25down,20up) I am currently using a wireless g router, but I just ordered a d link wireless n router today (not this one) just for my gaming pc, and xbox 360.

[Blackjackreggie]

@moss33 How about each of you get your own router? OR Get the best router there is

[Paperagent02]

What are gaming routers good for. Do they decrease lag, or what?

[Kiratpal222]

@Paperagent02 ya

[lunaarras]

Hey man on this router can u connect usb wireless internet or does it have to be wired internet

[eirho11]

THIS + 50MB BROADBAND= HEAVEN ON COD WITH NEW 'N' POWERED XBOX

[GRiZLOC]

DLink routers are the best. My 1st.dlink router was the dir-635 which came with 11 years of warranty and had years of fun with it and it still works and my current router is the dir-855 it's just the best router i've ever had.

[Stegmutt]

Dated review. usb port (mentioned at 2:46) can now be used with sharepoint software to share devices.

[AlexPlaysGames]

@Stegmutt Of course it's a dated review, you moron. It was uploaded two years ago.

[IIlhackerlII]

BUYING IT EPICCcc

[CodyMetal]

i use the D-Link DIR-615 and it doesnt lagg at all and iv been using it for a long time now and it works like new and even while 4 devices are using it and i still dont lagg *alot* :D

[piffblower69]

this router works at first..it helps with lag...but after a few weeks of usages it stops working completely..and it disconnects alot..overall...its way overrated and it sucks

[Kiratpal222]

@piffblower69 yeah lynksis is better

[cobrachoppergirl]

GameFuel is useless, you want to disable it. I used it for a long time to prioritize upstream (dns lookups and web and skype high; gaming, ftp, torrents low), because the Automatic Upstream once told me I only had 38K upstream so thats what I set it at. For years the router tried to squeeze everything through 38K upstream. Turned it off one day and found out, I actually had 384K upstream. $#%^&. Huge difference. Enough to run a game server from home. At 384K upstream you don't need it.

[GRiZLOC]

Can someone please explain to me what the difference is between the D-Link DIR-855 and the DGL-4500 they look almost the same. My 855 has also an OLED screen and dual band 2.4GHz / 5GHz wifi and gigabit ports. Is gamefuel not the same as QoS Stream Engine or whatever they call the QoS on the 855??? Please reply back!!!

[lockyear]

pw and username woulda totaly been admin,admin



[arctyler]

hell ye im getting it from newegg.com for $130

[XRCanonymous]

I'm stuck on getting this or the cisco valet plus, I play xbox often and have my laptop on when playing which would be better to hold multiple computers???

[miguelhx]

this sucks big time I have A2 model. and 4500 Dont waste your money... buy Netgeat or Belkin or Linksys... GameFuel is QOS.. nothing new. OK

search for reviews from this router. let me know if you need more clarifycation.

[360madden]

@SiikNSliik instead of a router plug your xbox directly to the internet connection. if the connection still sucks then its the internet connection NOT your router.

so if the source of the problem is the internet connection then nothing you add in get will improve it.

[SamGun1993]

@SiikNSliik i bought it for modern warfare 2 and it helped so much! before my nat type was always strict which barely let me play games. now it is always open, and i my ping is about 20-30%. so every game i play i am always host. It is worth the money and perfect for gaming.

[lampman67]

@SamGun1993 what if your internet is shit? cuz mine is, will it still be shit even with this router? is it only avalible in the usa..... cuz i cant find it on bestbuy.ca

[SamGun1993]

@lampman67 ur internet will not still be shit. it will be better than before. not the best though.

[lampman67]

@SamGun1993 good enough to play online without laggin though right?

[SamGun1993]

@lampman67 well with lag but very little lag! if ur ISP isnt bad than you are set.

[mrantis]

will this work with windows 7?

[SamGun1993]

@mrantis i think it will. no 100% on that one. just buy it and if it doesnt work get a refund.

[tsunayoshi987]

hey eyesheild 21 is on the tv

[roycha031]

im trying to fill in the blanks on my game fuel window of my xtreme n gamer router need help...

[skaterboy379]

this thing looks B.E.A.S.T.

gotta get this :D :D

[tsunayoshi987]

@skaterboy379 i have it, actually not that fast

[RoflMASTER55]

im trying to get xbox live and i was wondering if i could use the wireless adater N for it and also i was wondering if this would work with bell internet srry im not really good with computers :)

[Wookieex3]

@RoflMASTER55 yes and yes

[rocknrollohio]

As of July 2010 The usb shareport on all dlink routers do not work correctly with Windows 7 64 bit. Never have tried it on Windows 7 32 bit

[AlliedAirsoft]

Im a noob. lets get that out of the way.

now, i have pretty slow internet, but my family is about to upgrade. The wireless signal in my room with my current router is VERY weak. I cannot log onto the internet with my desktop. What my question is, can I get this router and have a better wireless connection with out much bandwith on our internet? (i think we will get better internet but we may not)

[xelink]

@AlliedAirsoft

if your internet connection is poor, it won't matter how fast the router is.

[AlliedAirsoft]

@xelink I know that.  we are getting a faster internet connection.

though i guess my question has changed.

can you have two DSL modems for one ISP?

[lollolzlolx]

Hey bro.. Can you do me a favor?

Can u list down for me the specs of the power cord of that router?

Coz i might purchase the router on the net, but i have doubts about the power cord as some cords works in some countries only.. thx. Im from Malaysia btw.

thx in advance..

[kidchaorrobot]

this router is good for almost anything if not anything out there :P

[ToxicOdiousOne]

Does this wireless router connect to my D-Link wired router? I have one PC. I want a wired and a wireless network so I can use wireless printers and get web on my Ipod Touch, and my PC has wired web.

[Wookieex3]

@ToxicOdiousOne no you get rid of your old router and use this because this works for wireless AND wired connections. It is a bad idea to have a router plugged into another router. That would just slow everything down.

[rambo198ify]

will this boast my connection on ps3 on mwf2 plz reply thank you

[noobzone90]

this is the best right

[iwpoe]

I hate these reviews. They don't really get down to seriously comparing routers. I would like a serious technical comparison between this and, say, the DIR-825 and the DIR-855. This is just a slightly tech-savvy advertisement for the product (a product which, as far as I can tell, inflates its price with an unnecessary digital display). I don't need my reviewers to be salesmen; I need them to be reviewers.

[alri700]

does it work wit itouch 3g

[johnchen0213]

yes

[quinkersqk]

For gaming u mean I can use my xbox 360 or do u mean a gamin laptop. Can I use a xbox 360 and a MacBook on this router

[RELOFID]

Does it realy matter if you plug in your xbox to the back of the router or just have it all through wireless internet

[TheTemplai]

If I'm wathing a video on youtube and my brother is downloading some shiit, does the router know that load my video is more important?

[L2DragonHunter]

lmao gamer internet... strange -.-

[UltimateHibz]

I want to buy this so i have less lag on live, but I can't seem to purchase the D-Link DLG-4500 in the UK.

WHY? Does any body know?

[TheDudeThatKnows]

One word ... EBAY!!! Buy if from a US seller i did an it rapes all other routers :) x

[hellsingorg2]

i love rape.

[TheDudeThatKnows]

Mother Fucker is Discontinued !!!

Does anyone know where i can buy one?

Im In The Uk btw :)

[KintahKuntay]

great review. I'm saving up my money for this one and buy it and throw my NETGEAR router away.

[homerman445]

if you reset your router do u have to go through the process of the wizard

[shallowtiger]

not any faster if you just use it for gaming and no downloading ,which causes lag in the first place, its the firewalls in some modems that screw up everything. (cant turn them off)

[kkhheerraa]

actually you can.

modems with firewall are common if your ISP is DSL. if that is the case, you just have to tell you ISP to set the modem to Bridgemode...

[kode103]

does this router help reduce lag from regular routers, cuz i have a SpeedStream 5100 and it gives me some lag lately

[scatmanwfm]

Is it a slower connecting hooking up to any wired router compared to hooking directly into your modem from your comp?

[TheDudeThatKnows]

@scatmanwfm Wired is faster... a lot faster!

[xXPH4Z3Xx]

not at all... its more reliable (which i like) but wireless is faster and easier IMO... :)

[UltimateHibz]

will a new router increase by xbox/ laptop connection with the wireless router.

[TheDudeThatKnows]

@UltimateHibz Yes!

[UltimateHibz]

@TheDudeThatKnows: Is there a newer wireless router by D-link that is better for gaming?

Because i can't seem to buy the D-link DLG-4500 in the UK, but there are a lot more d-link 3 rod routers, so i was wondering if they were better.

[oLACHESISo]

So if i have problems with connecting with people on XBOX LIVE, then this will solve it?

[kilo365days]

uhh...sure if you have a good broadband connection

[kilo365days]

also ure gonna need a modem with broad band to start with

[TheDudeThatKnows]

@oLACHESISo that all depends if its your router or connection if i were ide check the connection first.

Cable yourself via dsl to your xbox to see if its the connection.

If it works fine then yes get this router and it will sort it out :)

[oLACHESISo]

Well thanks but i fixed the problem now. Butmy friend has the problem now too. But his phone company and internet are 2 different companies. Which i think is the problem. Any solutions?

[highmastdon]

What i want is a gaming router that makes my WIRED game data get BEFORE the download packages, is that available?

[txmoney]

If you have to wireless, this a great choice for gaming connectivity. But if you're a true gamer, there is simply no alternative to a wired setup.

[TheTemplar17]

i got this one its sick

[barajasracing]

can you use this kind of router on att?

[TheTemplar17]

ya but u need a modem

[choc0chips91]

i love d-link

[Blackdog450]

I Need This Router I Need a Gaming Router My Router Sucks Belkin Sks

[epinky2295]

same here.... I wanna play MW2 without lag on PSN

[ndragos87]

wtf this model is over 200 euros in europe

[tedros19]

no there is no new version of this router

[omega1919191919]

what about for xbox live and PSN im not a P.C gamer

[tedros19]

this router works for every console that you can plug to it by wired or wireless

[carhi1815]

its sucks for the xbox 360 i lag constantly when playing halo and i've given my xbox top priority. i wouldn't get this router it sucks

[smartcar111]

did you connect it with ethernet?

[epinky2295]

you should be just fine..... you might have to look up LIVE and PSN ports but it will work just fine.... in fact I think it was meant for the console gamer

[gnacc65]

I think I should get this. I only get about 1.5 mb per second, and there is usually a lag every time with my stupid Netgear.

[poopypantsroo]

does it still run good with 2 ppl on a video game?

and my router disconnects like every hour sooooo will this stop it from disconnecting

[deathknight228]

so this is not a Modem, just a router? I am using a westell that is a modem and router so I will have to get a new dsl modem too? B/c I hate how my westell drops connection during lightning strikes

[dufydf]

i have dir-655,does this router decreases the ms in games????

[guinea44]

at 4:25-4:45 hes talking about how u can click a game and it sets up the ports and u can play it faster so say if you were playing call of duty on xbox could you click call of duty and it will make call of duty run better or isthat just for computer games?

[johnnydigital77]

just got mine 2 hours ago, sweeeet router!

[gnacc65]

You can't afford shit!

[johnnydigital77]

lol? what a stupid comment. However since your just a kid, I'll refrain from saying anything that may promote more stupidity from your part.

[gnacc65]

No, don't worry. I was just playing around. Actually, my router was giving me a hard time and now I cant get a decent frequecy signal. So I'm looking at this one.

[NightStalker014]

also FYI there isnt that much of a difference between DGL-4500 and the Dir-655. You could get it for 89 bucks thats wat i use. WAAAY too much power comming out of this thing i still get a great signal walking down my block. Awsome for video games. Save ur self the money and go for the d-link dir655

[rickisslick1]

wait so how much is this

[tacobelldriver]

i just picked mine up at frys for $180

[Anapwntian]

150 on amazon with free shipping.

[NightStalker014]

rickkiss its 150 bucks for the router for Amazon, newegg, and tigerdirect. All of them are great companies i choose newegg because their warehouse is nearest to me so i always choose 3 day shipping which alot of the time is free and sometimes i get it the next day.

[rysliv]

i might try this.

[harley10030]

fuck that router, i have it and half of the computers in my house wont connect to it, does anyone know why this would be.

[Kareem2369]

because its a gaming router

[rigolin1771]

maybe you set it up wrong?
