It’s been a year since we first saw the D-Link DIR-655 DSL router and we still have a warm spot for it in our heart, despite its bizarre looks. The two halves of the casing are moulded from shiny white plastic and are joined together with a black band around the middle that is punctuated by a line of blue activity LEDS. Read more
While its drive and printer sharing features have serious limitations, the D-Link DIR-655 would be one of our top picks even without them, thanks to its low price, great performance, easy setup, and handy guest access mode. Read more
Easy to set up and did well in our performance tests, but we're not so sure about the physical design Read more
Although the D-Link DIR-655 Wireless N Gigabit Router may not be the best looking router, it certainly offers great value for money. It is also easy to set up and manage, making a great all-round package for first-time users in particular. Read more
This is the most amazing router ever! Much better than my Wireless N Netgear router i was using before! This actually does run at 300mbps as its supposed to! Its so easy to set up with the cd that comes with it, has more functions than you can ever use, the inbuilt firewalls dont seem to effect the running speed and it looks great! Read more
I got this because my Belkin Router kept dropping out. The DLINK has a much more powerful range and more settings, once you get used to it's controls which are not intuitive. J&R had the best price [...] Read more
Cracking product to route my 20Mb Virgin Cable Broadband package around the house. Much research around the web lead me to it, and it absolutely does the job to perfection. Easy to set-up. Ridiculously easy in fact. And already we're benefiting from 18Mb+ streams both wirelessly and via ethernet. Pixmania had the product in stock at best price which was a result, but DHL 6 working day delivery really does take that long! Read more
Not had the opportunity to try the router as despite checking before purchase it is not compatible with modems using USB connections (although it has a USB port ?? - Technical helpline suggested this was purely for testing settings) Set up disc does not cater for Virgin Broadband settings and does not provide contact numbers when the basic set up does not cover the issue. It just continues to try to access web even though warning messages confirm it cannot do that.... Read more
I would recommend to the others who are interesting in this product. It suits for some users who are little bit long distance from within source and some thicker walls but it works like a charm!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Read more
