Pros: Price, performance
Cons: requires firmware update to work properly

The D-Link AirPlus DI-524 Wireless Router has filled my router needs very well, and at a great price. I am brand new to the wireless internet/wireless networking world. I was recently shopping for a notebook computer and knew I needed something else to ...

Cons: Input/Output limit, newest firmware is very unstable

There are 2 sections to this review. Why? Read on. [Sec. 1] [Physical] This thing is tiny. I went from a rather stylish netgear mr814 and the Dl-524 is roughly half the size. It takes up less room, has a small antenna and the power ...

Pros: Lots of customization available, fast, great range
Cons: Firmware update needed out of the box

Like any tech geek with a laptop, I was walking around my house sulking. I had a cable connection, which I was able to use if I was "hard-lined" sitting right at my computer desk. I write this review sitting in my living room, watching TV and eating ...

Cons: The DI-524 is unsuitable for intensive applications like gaming, torrents, and service hosting.

Pros: Small footprint, easy setup, many useful configuration options
Cons: Broke after three weeks, impossible to diagnose problems

I'd tried Linksys and Netgear wireless routers before the D-Link DI-524. Each was a big disappointment, so I finally turned to D-Link in hopes of finding a quality router. For the first three weeks, I was in the clear. Then, things went sour. The ...

Pros: It does work, eventually. Cheap if on sale.
Cons: Security features don't work as advertised. Buggy Firmware.

I bought a laptop with wireless capability and needed to add wireless connectivity to my existing home network. This router was on sale at Compusa for $19.99 after rebate so I took the bait. What could go wrong? A wireless router is a wireless router ...

Pros: Nice/small outer case
Cons: Unreliable, bad web interface, bad support

I previously had a belkin 802.11b router that worked fine. I was not a huge fan of the belkin, but it worked without any failures (that I can remember) and handled what I wanted. I recently decided to upgrade to 802.11g, so I got the D-link DI-524 ...

Pros: Cost, ease of setup
Cons: none, yet

Pros: Easy to install and works decent
Cons: Loses signal a lot and they are finding reasons not to send rebate.

I purchased the D-Link DI-524 for my home network when I purchased a second computer this week. The D-Link Router was very easy to install and if you have a westell DSL modem it is even easier to install. It probably took me about five minutes to hook it ...
