We have a guest house about 25 feet off the back corner of our house and the signal is very weak out there. The router is only about 60 feet from the computer in the guest house and it barely catches the signal.

QuickTake:

Pros: Fairly straight forward setup.
Cons: Signal not as strong as I thought it would be

Comments:
The D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router is one of the latest Draft N routers to the market. Believe us when we say it packs a punch. It's by far the fastest 802.11n router we've tested. At $180, it's also one of the most expensive. We've been reluctant

Review Verdict: The D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router is the fastest we've seen, but we're still reluctant to recommend it as it's based on an unfinished wireless spec.

QuickTake:

Pros: Its 802.11 draft-n performance was fast, we didn't have to fiddle with the default settings in order to get smooth wireless networking performance, it performed well when 802.11g and 802.11 draft-n clients were connected simultaneously
Cons: It doesn't have print or file server functions built in, its Web interface could be a little better, it could use more comprehensive keyword filtering options

Comments:
The D-Link DIR-655 is based on the older 802.11n DIR-635; however, it adds a number of nifty features to overcome an inherent flaw in many 802.11n routers. In ideal conditions this latest form of wireless can perform better than 10/100 Ethernet

Review Verdict: Overall the D-Link DIR-655 is a great solution but it does come at a cost

There are a lot of Draft N wireless routers hitting the market at the moment. Also, there are a lot of people that are wondering what the heck Draft N is. Well, readers It is simply faster than a normal wireless router. And D-Link has one it thinks you sh

All this and brains too - the D-Link DIR-655 is a really nice piece of kit

Review Verdict: If you can't wait for the fully ratified version of 802.11n to appear then this really is the model to opt for - though the Netgear DG834N with its integrated ADSL2+ modem would make for a reasonable all-in-one alternative

Comments:
D-Link combines Gigabit Ethernet and Wireless N in one box. Is it the perfect mix?

Review Verdict: Wireless performance still remains unimpressive but the DIR-655 is offering a lot for your money. In our view, if you want the best wireless performance and Gigabit ports to boot then Netgear's WRN854T is the one to go for but if you want superior feature
