Not so great, support not that great. Contivity VPN didn't work until I reconfigured the router. After that, the error rate and dropped packets were astronomical. Support had nothing for me to troubleshoot, except a new way to scratch my head. Wireless coverage in my two story house was average, and my rather robust wired home network (10 PC, 2 Mac, network printer, VOIP phone, Tivo) just clunked along.

I personally checked all wired connections for continuity, and even installed gigabit D-Link switches. This thing did NOT do a very solid job of routing data.

After two years, the thing finally died. I reinstalled my old D-Link 2.4 wireless router, and the network is as happy as it ever was.

BTW, this is old technology. Don't buy it, even with the rebate. The last firmware update is also a couple of years old.

This is a great router w/ a gigabit switch and many advanced features such as WPA2 and RADIUS server support, protocol prioritization and more.

Let me start by saying this review is probably somewhat biased. I had an existing 802.11g wireless router that I had to reboot every 2-3 days because the DHCP service would apparently hang (clients couldn't get an IP until the unit was reset). This got old very quickly. This D-Link absolutely ROCKS. I've had it running for about a month now with nothing but perfect function! I was specifically looking for a wireless router that had gigabit ports - I don't care too much about wireless bandwidth (don't need "n"). Anyway, I've got at least "good" signal throughout my entire house - no less than 36Mb/s. My old "g" router would sometimes be as low as 2Mb/s or lose signal altogether. The D-Link doesn't run hot, gigabit is GREAT, wireless is GREAT. All-in-all a perfect "10"!

Okay, networking is complicated, im 14 and am a nerd. I run servers and things like that in my spare time. This was easy to set up. I dont even read the manuals, i just look up the gateway ip address and use the manual configuration. I never call technical support. If there is something wrong, figure it out, you always learn a lot, unless the hardware is bad or faulty. If you do need help, read about encryption, WPA only. Use MAC address filtering, you may or may not find a use for the extra features of this router. But the gamefuel works great.

I first bought this router because of it's price. I had imagined that it would operate like any other router which includes a reconfiguration every now and then. I've had this router for two months now and it has a good strong signal in my 1600 square foot home. Even when I move my laptop to the other side of the house and my connection is down to two bars, the connection speeds stays fast.

As far as gaming; this is the router to have. The router configures the proper ports to open on its on when a game is started. It also works for downloading programs like Utorrent. Once the ports are not needed anymore, the router closes the ports.

For advanced users, this router is for you also. The web interface is fast and friendly but powerful. Once all the configurations are made, you will be able to save your configuration to your computer just in case you router loses its configuration.

I purchased a DGL-4300 router for Xbox Live and to connect my 4 computers. For Xbox Live compatibility, it had to be downgraded from 1.7 to 1.6. Downgrading and configuration of the router was no problem for me. Xbox Live worked well, my hardwired desktop worked fine, and 2 of my 3 wireless laptops worked fine. My Toshiba and Dell laptop connected without a problem. My IBM Thinkpad connected, but the Internet connection would lock up after a few minutes of use. I noticed LAN errors increasing rapidly with this laptop connected and some increase in LAN errors with the other laptops connected. I called D-link and they confirmed not to use 1.7 with Xbox Live and my downgrading to 1.6 was recommended for Xbox Live. They also acknowledged that there is a problem with some computer connections with firmware 1.6. They suggested I try downgrading the router to 1.2 or 1.3 firmware and see if that will work. Since many fixes have come out since the 1.2 and 1.3 firmware, I decided to return this router to Amazon. I reconnected my DI-624 router and all laptops, desktop, and Xbox Live are working fine again. If you don't have wireless laptops, then go ahead and purchase this for Xbox Live, but if you do, I highly recommend you stay away from the D-link DGL series of routers until D-link gets this fixed. By the way, I searched the Internet and I am not the only one who had this problem. D-link did not have a fix for this.

Compre este Router para mi psp slim y puedo decirles que es 100% compatible y lo reconoce de inmediato. La señal es bastante buena y
el proceso de configuracion me parecio en lo particular, bastante sencillo. Lo recomiendo para PSP.

It drops packets on wired connections, it has worse range than my BELKIN, and encryption on this joke of a router slows traffic down to 4MBPS! Total ripoff, defective junk!

I have had enough of these wireless routers, every one of them is no good. From D-Link to Linksys up and on down the line, THEY ARE ALL CHEAP PIECES OF JUNK!!!

I thought I had it bad with this BELKIN, but at least it has solid wired connections!

EDIT: Maybe it was just a defective unit...?

I bought this as a replacement for my DI-624, another quality D-Link product that lasted me almost 6 years (I had it running/downloading 24/7 and the wireless chipset began to give out; usually routers only last 2-3 years with heavy use like that). This is one quality upgrade...

For starters, the DGL-4300 has a high-quality (not sure if it is high-gain or not) antenna out of the box which immediately gave me a better signal throughout my home. The Admin interface is easy to use and has many more features than its predecessors. Be warned though: this is a "gaming" router, and all of the Admin function revolve around this principle, with port profiles for many popular games.

It does not have to be used exclusively for gaming, so don't be turned off with all of the jargon! The GameFuel technology it boasts is simply a fancy way of saying "bandwidth prioritization," and can be used for *anything* including VoIP services (so your call quality can be clearer). However, I am a gamer and used it "as advertised" for my X-box Live connection and instantly began to see better performance through online play, even when my wife was downloading music on her PC!

Security is easy to setup, with the option of 128-bit WEP and WPA methods, as well as MAC filtering (in order for any device to access your signal, they would need to have its unique MAC address stored on the device). Bottom line: no one will be accessing your signal without your permission!

All-in-all, this is a great upgrade for anyone with an older wireless router, and probably the best starter router anyone could get without new 802.11n technology. I highly recommend it as well as any other D-Link product.
