Reverie Posted December 12, 2005 Report Posted December 12, 2005 okie I know alot of people say D-Link routers are bad.. but I still stick with them..... mainly because buffalo wireless routers are too expensive and they don't sell Linksys here... we have stuff like MSI,3com,asusfrom personal experience I've had so far... the DI-6XX series routers are really bad...DI-614+ had the thing die in 3 monthsDI-624S died in 6 daysDI-5xx series work... but... they don't support speed boost stuff... DI-514 worked for around a yrright now... I'm running a DGL-4300 and was wondering if anyone could tell me what they think of it... (plz... no D-Link sucks opinions... something contributive would be nice) Does D-Link sell any other routers that can out perform it? (besides the DI-634M which isn't available here)
1c3d0g Posted December 12, 2005 Report Posted December 12, 2005 I know you said you couldn't get a Linksys router where you live, but this site ships around the globe, so if this is an option you may still be able to get one. Just giving an option to you... :|
Reverie Posted December 12, 2005 Author Report Posted December 12, 2005 I don't have a creditcard and other stuff... lol....
1c3d0g Posted December 12, 2005 Report Posted December 12, 2005 You don't have to have a credit card to pay (I don't have one either)... There are other methods of payment, like Checks/Money Orders or Wire Transfer...
Reverie Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Posted December 13, 2005 and problematic currency conversions and that I don't have a bank account
slayers Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 If you look at the brochure, the DGL-4300 has got to be better than anything they've made before. The problem I see is that it is expensive and the "QoS" it offers is very limited. So you're getting limited bang for the bucks you've paid.The DI-634M I think is really about wireless performance (isn't it pre-N stuff?). Theoretically it could give you more stability for torrenting through a wireless connection (if you had signal interference problems in the first place) but won't make any difference if you're wired. It could actually be worse depending on compatibility of drivers and whatnot... I suspect pre-N gear will be quickly obsolete.I don't own any of them so I'm just giving my 2 cents.The Linksys with a third party firmware is much superior AND cheaper, by leaps and bounds! I would've gotten one if I had the option at the time.EDIT: I just looked at the DI-634M product sheet and it appears to be just the DGL-4300 features + MIMO (wireless).
splintax Posted December 16, 2005 Report Posted December 16, 2005 Yeah, I've heard good things about the custom firmware on Linksys gear. Might look into it for my next router
dolbysnoopy Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 One of my friends using DI604. Don't have a problem for a year and he's still using it.
