How’s that for a title line?
That’s right this bad boy is what provides myself and my beautiful family with hours of endless fun. Well OK the “Internet” actually does that, but this router from D-Link helps share our conenction and keeps us safe from all those mean script kiddies out there.
The wireless range on this bad boy is pretty good, but still can’t reach all corners of my home, but that’s expected since my house is so big. I got a sweet wife AND a boat too. So to get the wireless signal to cover more of my home I bought a couple DWL-G800APs and set them up on opposite ends of the house near the end of the DI-624′s range. Then those DWL-G800AP’s repeat the signal from the DI-624 and whammo! my wireless coverage has expanded.
The security is top notch for it’s price point, and I greatly appreciate the ease of use from the web based interface. D-Link makes it easy to upgrade firmware and each new firmware either fixes something I never had a problem with, or adds new features.
Overall this item is great and I’d recommend getting one even if you don’t live in a big masion like me and my beautiful fammily.

I consider my self to be an advanced computer user with very good knowledge of hardware and networking equipment setup. This is an extremely bad product by D-link. This router performed completely opposite to what it is advertised … I am surprised that it was CNET Editor’s choice. I used this router to share a cable modem with 3 wired PC’s and two wireless laptops. One laptop had Cisco Airport Wireless adaptor and other had D-Link Xtreme G, DWL-G650 adaptor.
Following were the problems I had with it:
1. The setup procedure does not help.
2. The wireless and wired network could not communicate with each other or simultaneously.
3. Wireless network was very difficult to setup.
4. The speed was hardly 54Mbps, but mostly just above 11 Mbps which is 802.11b.
5. Range was very poor.
6. Wireless network encryption does NOT work and could work only without it.
7. Does NOT work with other Network switch, u must connect PCs thru’ router’s switch.
8. I upgraded the firmware also but could not get advertised 108Mbps speeds inspite of using D-link DWL-G650 adaptor.
9. To top it all router reboots very often … almost once every hour.
10: D-link has released many versions of the router A,B & C u must check D-link’s site to find which gives 108Mbps and what u r buying.
In short this router is just a piece of junk or somehow my router was defective. I suggest not to buy it. I returned it and bought a Linksys which is just great.

I bought d-Link 624 yesterday. – Couldn’t get it to work. Their advertized 24/7 tech support is a hoax. There was no one there. So bought Linksys instead. The last box in store, which was a good sign. I was up and running in few minutes. Linksys works like a charm. I was glad I had a choice.

I purchased this product for my laptop and had full intentions of linking my laptop to my home network, but…hasn’t happened yet.
Why? It’s not for lack of trying. I guess it’s too complicated for me to get resolved right away and I need all my computer running.
I am running XP Pro on all computers. My desktop models are using a salite to connect to the internet and are using one as a host computer and the other links to the internet through the host. My desktops are networked to retrieve files and share printers.
When I followed the instructions for the D-link-I thought it would be a snap, but…NO!
I linked the cable from the modem to the wireless unit to calibrate the d-link, but it must not have callibrated, because I could not go any farther.
When I linked my cable from my existing router to the laptop-on-line to internet immediately (forgot to check about file sharing, oops!)
Since I did not want the inconvience of tripping over cables for my laptop, I again tried to get the wireless to work.
Did a restore point on my desktop, just incas the network wizard didn’t solve the issue. Sure enough it didn’t and it messed up my network and internet connection to the other desktop.
Resolved that by doing restores on both desktops-but still no wireless unit working. Guess I’m going to have to spend some serious time figuring out how this is to work.
I love XP Pro-it’s like Windows 95 was to Windows 3.1 when it came out, but….I need more than the wizard has to offer to get my whole system operating efficeintly.
I’ve have debated over returning the unit and not going wireless for my laptop, but that doesn’t make much sense.

I purchased this product, as well as the DWL-G520 PCI Adapter, in part because of the positive reviews I found on Amazon.com.
After using the product and returning it after four days, I am very suspicious about the validity of these reviews.
I installed and reinstalled and reinstalled the router and the PCI Adapter, downloaded patches from the internet and checked and rechecked the router’s configuration. Virtually every time I tried to access the internet over the wireless network my connection was either dropped or my computer froze. The directions that came with both products provided very little information, the DLink website was equally uninformative, and after reading the comments on this site about DLink’s customer service line, I didn’t even try to call. After four days, I gave up and returned both products and purchased the Microsoft MN700 base station and the MN730 PCI adapter. I had both products installed and running perfectly within 15 minutes.
Do yourself a favor and buy a different product. You’ll save yourself a lot of frustration.
