Reviews of the D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router

CNET Review
The Good: The D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router displayed lightning-fast performance in short-range and mixed-mode tests; it offers Gigabit LAN ports and the latest in wireless security.
The Bad: Very expensive; based on an unfinished spec.
The Bottom Line: The D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router is the fastest we've seen, but we're still reluctant to recommend it as it's based on an unfinished wireless spec.

Review Summary: An excellent router with some great features. The high price pulls it down a bit, but if the features are useful to you, then it's definitely worth it.

Review Summary: 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.
