Product Description
Create a wireless network to share high-speed Internet access with computers, game consoles, or media players from greater distances in your home or office. Using D-Link Xteme-N wireless products makes it really easy!
The D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router is a draft 802.11n compliant device that delivers up to 14x faster speeds and 6x farther range than 802.11g while staying backward compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b devices. Connect the Xtreme N Gigabit Router to a cable or DSL modem and provide high-speed Internet access to multiple computers, game consoles, and media players. Create a secure wireless network to share photos, files, music, videos, printers, and network storage.
With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including VoIP, Video Streaming, Online Gaming, and Web browsing are mixed together into a single data stream. By handling data this way, applications like video streaming could pause or delay. With D-Link's Intelligent QoS Technology, wired and wireless traffic is analyzed and separated into multiple data streams. These streams are then categorized by sensitivity to delay, so applications like VoIP, Video Streaming, and Online Gaming are given priority over Web browsing. This enables multiple applications to stream smoothly to your TV or PC. Delivering best-in-class performance, network security, and coverage, this router is the ideal centerpiece for your wireless network in the home or office. Backward compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b devices including game consoles and digital media players

 Excellent Gaming Router August 29, 2008
D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless Router This router replaces a Linksys WRT54G.I Bought this routerD-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless Router to use for online gaming with an X-Box 360 and a Playstation 3. I also have a PSP on the network and the D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless Router works great. While I was worried when some reviews suggested that this router was difficult to set-up (as I am by no means a tech wizard) I found this was not so; The D-Link was extremely easy to set-up and maintain as well as monitor its performance. The default settings for QoS work fine and adding devices takes seconds. I would strongly recommend the D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless Router to anyone needing a wireless network for online gaming but doesn't need the headache.
Great Router August 29, 2008
Works great. We have it on the third floor of our house and you can get great speeds from anywhere. Even in my garage. I recommend.
 shoudl be better for the price, and tech support isn't great August 29, 2008
I just bought my router yesterday. It has some issues which I'm still trying to work out. I have 2 laptops and a desktop. The desktop works fine as it's not wireless, but I have been having issues with my signal dropping on the laptops, and another issue with weak signal strength. I have 2 or 3 bars of signal strength on one of my laptops, despite being about 5 feet away from the router. And strangely enough, the laptop with the g-wireless card has better signal strength than the laptop with the n-card.
Another strange thing is, apparently the router comes with several default settings that aren't ideal for connecting wirelessly, which seems stupid. And I mean really obscure settings that even someone who is fairly tech savvy, as I am, would not know to do. I've set up quite a few wireless networks without many problems, but these are settings I have no clue what they mean and would never think to change them (or even know how). Tech support must have had me change 15 different random settings that I could not have done without guidance. I still have NO CLUE which of these settings actually made any difference though.
So it seems fairly likely you will need to speak with tech support. They're apparently open 24/7, which is nice, and wait times weren't too bad (although I did call at 10pm) but just a heads up, their tech support department is shipped to India (like most companies now days), and they're EXTREMELY difficult to understand. And the level 1 tech support staff isn't very knowledgeable. Unfortunately you need to speak to them before they'll forward you on to level 2 support. I did have some better luck with them, but still had some communication issues.
It appears that my connection is no longer dropping, but I still have a weak signal when I'm right next to the router. As for the laptop that IS receiving full signal, I wasn't actually too impressed when I walked around my house checking signal strength in the various rooms. Though, i guess it's possible that it's my house causing that. Who knows.
It might prove to be a good router once I get it working properly, but I would expect more from a router that cost me almost $100.
D-Link Router 655 August 25, 2008
I have been using a Belkin Router F5D6230-3 for years hardwired to several computers and a switch. It seemed to work ok most of the time but would ocasionally drop out and I would have to unplug it to reset, some times twice a day, others every other day. I recently replaced it with a D-Link DIR 655 which has been operational with out flaw for several weeks now. It was a fast and easy set up. If you are having drop out problems try separating the router from the modem. I read about this and tried it with the old router after I had ordered the new router and the dropouts with the old router ceased. The new router is faster.
