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.

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.
