While most of the average home users may be content with their 802.11g based home wireless routers, but for those looking for something more powerful in terms of speed and range, Dlink's DIR-655 is not a bad choice.
DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router is a draft 802.11n wireless router that claims to offer home users with an upgrade of 14 times more speed and 6 times more range over their G based wireless network. While the claims may not be as realizable as stated, but the difference is pretty visible and many have not only reported a 5 times (at least) increase in network speed but with DIR-655 it's also possible to have good signals in spots where it was hard to catch anything.
Unlike most of the draft N wireless routers, D-Link's DIR-655 Gigabit Router has been highly praised by the experts as it is not found to have many of the problems that routers from this draft inherit.
Apart from the speed and range benefits, DIR-655 also boosts of advanced features. The most prominent is the intelligent QoS system. With an effective QoS in action, the router classifies the kinds of traffic it is serving based on their sensitivity to delay and prioritizes the data movement for the high-sensitive content. Thus users will enjoy enhanced VoIP or video streaming applications at a petite cost of delay experienced while browsing the web.
DIR-655 is firmly packed with security features. It supports WEP, WPA and WPA2 standards and also employs SPI and NAT firewalls.
The primary barrier in making the most of a routers' capabilities is the lack of how-to knowledge. DIR-655 overcomes this problem by taking advantage of a wizard interface that helps the home user play with most of the settings and design a secure network. It also has context sensitive help that comes in handy when you do not know what an option actually does.
Overall, D-Link's DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router provides enhanced wireless experience in larger homes or offices. It gives the user an opportunity to create secure and speedy network to share high-speed internet, media files or benefit from lag-free network games. Experience the latest in wireless technology with remarkable improvements in speed and range.
