Works Perfectly Well Over A Year
by Conan on Aug 15th, 2007 at 10:56 AM:
I wonder about reviews sometimes. I've had this router for well over a year and have had ZERO problems with it. I only use DLink in my line of work, so there are a few dozen DLink (various models) out there that I support and any problems have been few and far between.
My DI-524 is supporting...
Wireless: TiVo, Wii, Notebook
Wired: 2 Desktops, DVR, VoIP service
I've had to reset ("pull the plug") the router maybe twice since I've had it. The wireless signal is strong and I stay connected. I don't lose my internet connection at all.
I've used it for DSL and Cable. The interface doesn't get any easier to use.
I can't think of any negative remarks to make on this router. It just works as advertised.
What problems?

I don't understand why this router gets mediocre comments everywhere. I've had this router for 3 months now since upgrading from my old Netgear, and it's been brilliant. Set-up with no problems, never dropped the connection once. I have my XBOX 360 connected along with 2 wired PC's and it's been brilliant.
I cannot fault this little baby... 10/10 from me.
Possibly worst wireless router on earth

The first DI-524 I had was extremely unstable. It tended to lose connection or even to lose its own configurations. I don't know why I got a second DI-524, maybe because of the heavy rebate offers. What a mistake! It was nothing but headache. Its wireless AP gives a very weak signal even at 10 feet away with nothing but air in between. Now I have two crippled D-Link router sitting in front of me and the only thing I want to do is to toss both of them out of the windows! Stay away from this router unless you have extra money and life to burn.
Beware of D-link

My D-link wireless router stopped functioning after 4 months. I created an RMA request for a replacement router with D-link on 10/13/06. I decided not to return the product until after I received the replacement to ensure that I returned all required items shipped to me. The product was temporarily lost by UPS and was delayed several days. It was supposed to be delivered on Friday, 10/20 but was not received until Monday 10/23. I work out of town during the week and installed the replacement router when I returned on Friday 10/27 and shipped the defective router the next day on 10/28 via USPS (since I didn't trust UPS). Router was received by D-link on 11/14, 2 days beyond the 30 day limit. The D-link's "Cross-Shipment Agreement," does not define a critical element to a contract: the price I would be charged if it was not returned within the 30 day window. The CSA states that I "...will be charged one hundred percent (100%) the value of the replacement unit(s)..." No where in the contract does it state how the value is to be determined. I originally paid $64.99 for the router in June. It is unconscionable that D-link would attempt to charge $149.99 for defective version of the same product. I made a good faith attempt at expediently returning the defective product. I have attempted on multiple occasions to resolve this with D-link to no avail. I am currently disputing this charge with my credit card company. Stay away from this company!
