Purchased this router to replace aging linksys router that could apparently only achieve a throughput of 7-8 Mb and with my 20 Mb service I was losing about 12 Mb of throughput. This router pairs well with my D-Link 8 port gigabit switch.
Hooking up the router to my PC and XBOX was easy and so far I haven't had any problems.
Really one of the best wired routers I've ever bought. If you've got any reservations about buying this, just know this. Best gameplay I've had in a looong time.Follow the simple instructions included.
When me and my son play the Xbox, the router automatically sets the ports wide open, something my last router wouldn't do. Plug it up, set your pswd's from your computer and your ready. I've got two Xbox's and two computers that I use.
very easy to set up. at least without a fight which is why I bought this in the first place. This unit does exactly what it says it does.
The router does all the work. For whatever reason if I had to buy another one, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
Very pleased with this GamerLounge version. Not the GamerLounge. I have also been able to run P2P sharing (throttled back a little)on one PC, while my son plays his on-line game and my daughter watches a streaming TV show on their PCs. It was worth paying the much higher price when compared to my old cheaper D-Link EBR-2310 Router. Very glad I bought this. The old 2310 seemed to bottleneck when more than one of my family's computers were using our mid speed dsl connection. It was "plug and play" with the software that came with it on my Home XP network. I just downloaded software updates at the max speed my dsl service allows while my son was playing his on-line game on another networked PC.
Could not use even limited P2P sharing without completely shutting down everyone elses internet connection. The 2310 would require resetting every so often too. This router works very well and manages traffic at max. Even though I will never be able to use it at its max potential with my dsl service, it gets the most out of what I do have.
I have used this router for 3 years now. In that time I have never had to reboot or reset the router.It works great with UPnP devices (xbox, windows home server, windows).In short, there isn't a better wired router on the market.
