Strengths: Easy to setup. Best Security Rules & Web Access control. Has a gigabit backbone for lag less game play plenty of wireless power WAN port speed is 10/100/1000 and not just 10/100

Weaknesses: Instruction manual lacking and very high bang for the buck.

Summary: Make sure before you buy this router that you have, or will be getting, wireless N devices for your computers. If you have this router and a standard wireless G device, you will not get wireless N speeds.

Strengths: Speed, Looks, Gigabit Ports, Dual Band

Weaknesses: Some fluctuation, V. 2.0 setup

Summary: Got this after looking at more expensive Linksys router, mainly due to higher throughput rate and lower cost. It is the better choice. Primary concern is throughput and this one does it. Can adjust for gaming priority, if that's your main use. Vesion 2.0 requires use of higher mode with less range and no g ability. If you want a home gigabit network you need a compatible router like this. The LCD is pretty useless/doesn't add much.All-in-all, for the money it's worth it.

Strengths: Easy to set up manually. Works very well as a sub-router. Wireless connection is strong and does travel further than other wireless routers I've used.

Weaknesses: The installation CD was a waste of time. Just set it up manually, it's MUCH easier and faster that way.

Summary: The security features that can be set up are quite nice as well as the ability to easily set up as a sub-router to a main router. It does seem to help stabilize internet data transfer. I would not recommend this router for a novice unless they have a friend or family member that can help them set it up. I would recommend this router as long as you don't mind paying more money. You do seem to get what you pay for though! Currently I have five computers (two wired, three wireless), two wireless laptops, a Wii, and an Xbox360 running through this router. Everything is running great - what more could I ask for! Just a side comment: The LCD on it is near pointless in my opinion so don't get it for the bells and whistles. The N does seem to have a more stable and further reach, but I definitely enjoy (and need) the ability to pick up G as well. PS: I picked mine up from Amazon.com. Was the cheapest place at the time with free shipping (make sure to choose free super saver shipping). Only place cheaper was newegg.com by five dollars in which shipping made it slightly more expensive.

Strengths: Easy Set-Up

Weaknesses: Expensive, no better signal than before

Summary: This was a disappointing purchase. The router is a very sleek-looking, attractive device. It was very easy to set-up, right out of the box. However, that's where the fun ended. I was able to get no better signal with this supposedly high end router than I had with my Belkin Pre-N Router, which I ultimately reinstalled. Since I had barely enough knowledge to be dangerous, I paid a tech geek to come out and re-install to fix whatever I had done wrong. However, he left 2 hours later shaking his head and equally unsuccessful. It's back to Belkin for me.

Strengths: footprint, appearance, led screen trial of network magicand relatively stable

Weaknesses: Despite pairing with an 'N' band linksys extender my streamed videos sometimes pause. Transfer speeds can fluctuate and are only marginally able to transfer HD

Summary: Spent most of the day getting it linked but assume this due to my inexperience. Had to reinstall the software once. Included software is good but some $30 or so if you decide to keep. Tuning may fix problems with transfer speeds but my first attempts didn't help. Still, it works fine for regular recorded media and I don't think there is anything better in price range for draft n.

Strengths: This router is step up from DGL-4300. It has better wireless singal than DGL-4300 and DIR-655. 4 Gigabit ports. Wireless N 2.0 Dual band. Easy to setup. Comes with screen.

Weaknesses: Wireless N is a draft so this is not final product. The screen on the router power off after 10-15 seconds of being on. Kinda dumb navigation through screen navigation, NEXT and OK option buttons.

Summary: Overall it is a good router and easy to use. As goes wireless N is in a draft mode and not a final product. This router is one of the few that uses 2.0 version of wireless N. So what does it mean? If you own a notebook with the wireless card in it, wireless n 1.0 allows connection of 130mbs and 2.0 will allow 300mbs. Though it is not a easy as it sounds. To establish wireless connection at 300mbs router needs to switched to 5ghz mode and 40mhz option needs to be on. Drawback when router operates at 5ghz setting wireless operates only in A and N mode, so there won't be G connectivity. Also wireless N in 5ghz mode has reduced range compared to wireless N 2.4ghz. This router has better wireless singal than dir655. I used this router with firmware 1.02.
