While the D-Link DI-624 802.11G router is chock-full of features, it also unfortunately suffers from several performance issues. Problems seem to be the luck of the draw as many consumers and reviewers are reporting either excellent results or completely dismal results. With a product lineup this erratic, it's hard for us to recommend it to anyone.

With more administration and configuration options than any other wireless router we've seen and some of the fastest wireless performance on the market (under the right conditions), it may also be hard for consumers to turn down. Parents will appreciate the robust Website and content filtering options of the D-Link DI-624 that can be either turned on indefinitely or scheduled for certain times during the day. Gamers will appreciate the built-in port forwarding options and Xbox live features. And professionals will appreciate the VPN and remote access features that this router offers.

In the end, the promise of wirelessly transferring data at an even faster than wired Ethernet speed turns out to be wishful thinking. We've heard some really good things about D-Link's XtremeG lineup and have also read and experienced some very discouraging problems. If D-Link can sort it out and provide a consistent quality product, it may be worth looking at. But until then, we suggest you wait for the product and the technology to mature.
