Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of D-Link 4-Port RangeBooster Wireless-N Router
Customer Review: works great, update your firmware!
Summary: 4 Stars
After installation, the speed was decent but the connection was actually worse than my old 11b router.
I updated the firmware (I have revision C) to 3.04 and voila - connection is consistently Very Good (although, why an 11g device sitting next to it doesn't get Excellent connection is a mystery).
Speed varies from around 160 to 270 (I also have the rangebooster N usb adapter, on a pc in the basement). It's lower if I have any 11g devices connected, but still way better than the 54 of 11g. The 11g devices connect at 54 consistently.
The router menus are comprehensive, but would confuse the heck out of anyone not tech-savvy; however, router configuration IS very technical.
Customer Review: blazing fast, better range, best value
Summary: 5 Stars
just purchased this after 4 previous routers to upgrade to the "N" draft...for the price($79) or any for that matter, now i have signal all over the house...basement office, main level, and all over the 3rd floor; the signal is strong at every level and i saw a dramatic increase in speed on my laptops; it took me literally 15 minutes to set up and it was very simple as you follow the step by step instructions of the disc.
so as a result of my upgrade, i get blazing speed, 3 times better range, and it was less than my previous "G" draft router...my only regret is that i waited this long...THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE...(hey dlink people should pay me for all this...)

Customer Review: Works great
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this router for about a month now. It was so easy to hook up. I was worried before I started hooking it up that it would be a hassle because I get easily frustrateed with hooking computers up to stuff and I expected it to take at least an hour. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it took just 5 minutes. I have a basic desktop PC hooked up to it and it works great. I also use a Asus Eee netbook that gets the internet through it. It has a strong, secure signal. I've not had any problems with it or problems accessing the internet with it. I have a small apartment so I have no idea how well it would perform in a large house, but I bet it should be ok. No regrets, I would buy again.Customer Review: Great Router, but SecureSpot 2.0 does not really work
Summary: 4 Stars
This works great as a router, but SecureSpot 2.0 did not work well. Scans were endless on my Macs, and PCs did not seem to work right either after the SecureSpot client install. When I used Live Chat for technical support, the support agent indicated that SecureSopt 2.0 was not supported on Macs. I then inquired why the product installed a Mac client and said it supports Macs. Even the internal web pages in the router say Macs are supported and this router firmware is dated 1/31/2008. After a few minutes he came back and said that development on the Mac client had stopped. Have to believe its true if it comes from their support person, so I uninstalled SecureSpot from all my Macs and PCs.Customer Review: It Works Great

D-Link DIR-625 RangeBooster N Router Wireless Draft 802.11n with 2 Antennas
It works great with few problems. It sends out a strong signal throughout my house and it works great. I did have to download updated firmware from D-Link for it to work properly. Also, the WEP encryption would not work with my Windows Vista computer. But the WPA encryption has worked fine. I understand that the WPA encryption is supposed to be better anyway. Just make sure that the wireless adapters on your computers and other hardware support WPA encryption if you have Windows Vista.
