Computer geeks in here: router question
 

It's a D-Link Dl-614+ 2.4GHz wireless router... what do you people know about it?? (prolly getting it for free, so I am asking)

:shrug:

idk about their wireless routers but i had a D-Link a few years back and it was the biggest peice of ****.

not only was i averaging about 200kbps on downloads, but my netowrk would sometimes drop me every 5 minutes for about 2 seconds, just enough for me to ket kicked from aim. it was so ****ing annoying...but if its free give it a whirl

bleh dont get it. the 2.4 GHZ uses the same frequancy as the 2.4 GHZ cordless phones. it was such a big pain in the ass. because most of the time everytime the phone rings the wireless would pick up the signal and disconnect for a sec. now if you have a 2.4 GHZ phone you gonna have to get a new phone so it doesnt interfere with the signal. it isnt worth the time, even if it is for free.

yeah **** it buy a linksys and spend the $50 at best buy and dont be a tight spender, ya get what you pay for with PC related stuff

i have netgear crap, i know zilch about comps but it works

dont know much about it, i say if your getting it for free try it out and see how it works. also did you ever get your (dads) computer fixed??

Go for it.

meh, too late... I left it there anyway, it was in massachusettes and my cousin said we can borrow it but he'd need it back... not worth the hassle

88jerseyiroc - Umm...all of the wireless routers run on 2.4Ghz. So you need to get a different phone if you wanna keep the wireless. I forced my parents to get a 5.8 Ghz phone instead.

Kasey - you didn't miss anything, it's not a great router.
