 Some Laptop Incompatibility September 1, 2008
I purchased a DGL-4300 router for Xbox Live and to connect my 4 computers. For Xbox Live compatibility, it had to be downgraded from 1.7 to 1.6. Downgrading and configuration of the router was no problem for me. Xbox Live worked well, my hardwired desktop worked fine, and 2 of my 3 wireless laptops worked fine. My Toshiba and Dell laptop connected without a problem. My IBM Thinkpad connected, but the Internet connection would lock up after a few minutes of use. I noticed LAN errors increasing rapidly with this laptop connected and some increase in LAN errors with the other laptops connected. I called D-link and they confirmed not to use 1.7 with Xbox Live and my downgrading to 1.6 was recommended for Xbox Live. They also acknowledged that there is a problem with some computer connections with firmware 1.6. They suggested I try downgrading the router to 1.2 or 1.3 firmware and see if that will work. Since many fixes have come out since the 1.2 and 1.3 firmware, I decided to return this router to Amazon. I reconnected my DI-624 router and all laptops, desktop, and Xbox Live are working fine again. If you don't have wireless laptops, then go ahead and purchase this for Xbox Live, but if you do, I highly recommend you stay away from the D-link DGL series of routers until D-link gets this fixed. By the way, I searched the Internet and I am not the only one who had this problem. D-link did not have a fix for this.
 Excelente Router para PSP August 28, 2008
Compre este Router para mi psp slim y puedo decirles que es 100% compatible y lo reconoce de inmediato. La senal es bastante buena y
el proceso de configuracion me parecio en lo particular, bastante sencillo. Lo recomiendo para PSP.
 Total ripoff, defective junk! August 8, 2008
It drops packets on wired connections, it has worse range than my BELKIN, and encryption on this joke of a router slows traffic down to 4MBPS! Total ripoff, defective junk!
I have had enough of these wireless routers, every one of them is no good. From D-Link to Linksys up and on down the line, THEY ARE ALL CHEAP PIECES OF JUNK!!!
I thought I had it bad with this BELKIN, but at least it has solid wired connections!
Easy setup and outstanding performance August 5, 2008

I bought this as a replacement for my DI-624, another quality D-Link product that lasted me almost 6 years (I had it running/downloading 24/7 and the wireless chipset began to give out; usually routers only last 2-3 years with heavy use like that). This is one quality upgrade...
For starters, the DGL-4300 has a high-quality (not sure if it is high-gain or not) antenna out of the box which immediately gave me a better signal throughout my home. The Admin interface is easy to use and has many more features than its predecessors. Be warned though: this is a "gaming" router, and all of the Admin function revolve around this principle, with port profiles for many popular games.
It does not have to be used exclusively for gaming, so don't be turned off with all of the jargon! The GameFuel technology it boasts is simply a fancy way of saying "bandwidth prioritization," and can be used for *anything* including VoIP services (so your call quality can be clearer). However, I am a gamer and used it "as advertised" for my X-box Live connection and instantly began to see better performance through online play, even when my wife was downloading music on her PC!
Security is easy to setup, with the option of 128-bit WEP and WPA methods, as well as MAC filtering (in order for any device to access your signal, they would need to have its unique MAC address stored on the device). Bottom line: no one will be accessing your signal without your permission!
All-in-all, this is a great upgrade for anyone with an older wireless router, and probably the best starter router anyone could get without new 802.11n technology. I highly recommend it as well as any other D-Link product.
Fantastic bang for buck. July 30, 2008

I've had this router for about a year now and have had much success with it. I therefore feel I can provide a fair review.
Pros:
-Large feature set
-Easy to configure in Basic mode
-Great advanced features for advanced users
-GameFuel priority routing is handy and noticeable in practice
-Gigabit LAN is great for hard-wired connections
-Solid security feature set; very highly configurable
-Easy to manage security exemptions, etc. should you choose to use them
-Refined firmware is a huge plus
-This product just managed to edge out LinkSys in my opinion
Cons:
-Actual D-Link support isn't great, but there is a wealth of information on the internet, so this really isn't a problem.
-The painted finish got all gooey when someone tried to clean the thing with glass cleaner.
Overall:
Fantastic bang for the buck. Greatly increase wireless signal strength and quality with an upgraded antenna (i.e. D-Link ANT24-0700). With the rebate, it's tough to beat!
