I bought a D-Link Wireless Router and a D-Link wireless USB adapter for my new laptop. The words printed on the box said easy and quick hook up. Well unless I am a complete idiot it was not easy or even quick. I bought this from the Office Depot. I tried hooking this up for about a month and then called the eight hundred phone number listed in the pamphlet. I was told the router was not working properly and to take it back and replace it with another one. The next day I took it back to Office Depot and they would not take it back because it had been over fourteen days. I even had my receipt. It only cost $39.99 but to me thats alot of money. So I had a router that did not work and Office Depot made me buy another one at $39.99, so all together this wireless router cost me almost $80!!! So what am I just beat for the first $39.99? I guess so because Office Depot did nothing buy sell me another one at $39.99. I find this very not business like and am very upset. I...

disillusioned says "Get one that works" about D-Link DIR-615 Wireless Router

I was persuaded to spend twice the money on a 'reliable' router rather than buy a cheap one for less than half the price. What a total waste of money!!! I tried to use the instalation CD provided but cannot get further than popup window saying "Click'n Connect can't discover the router. Please check the cable connection and make sure the Router is powered on." OK, I have tried using each of the ports and with 3 different cables (including the one supplied with the router) and cannot get past this. There is no help in the online manual or in the (very limited) trouble shooting guide supplied with it. My advice to anyone considering buying this. DON'T BOTHER. Go for something cheap and cheerful that may work.

recorey says "Doesn't work well with Vista" about D-Link DIR-615 Wireless Router

Oh where to start. I had a dlink router because of Vonage - for about a year. The router conked out already. I ordered a new pc so I bought a new dlink (only one that supports Vonage!) and hooked everything up (pc and router).

Guess what... the dlink router doesn't work on the hardwired desktop (vista). The kids laptops worked fine, but not the desktop.

According to Dell Tech Support, Best Buy Geek Squad, and Time Warner (cable provider) dlink has issues with Vista. Just TRY calling Vonage customer service - horrible. Can barely understand them and they don't have a clue as to what you're talking about. Tried calling dlink customer service - even worse. Can't even get through to a live person.

I had to buy a different router (Netgear N MaxRange - works great and fairly inexpensive $69). Speeds are awesome and everything connects... EXCEPT vonage. I had to install a phone adapter behind the new router and the quality is awful. I did a test call to my brother and he...

Meri says "D-Link customer NO service ruined this product for me." about D-Link DIR-615 Wireless Router

The D-Link 615 wireless router was bought mainly for times when our sons are home with their laptops and for the occasional day my husband decides to work from home.

Easy to Install:

I installed this product in November of last year. It was easy to install- I just followed the instructions on the CD included with the router. The two antennas bounce multiple wireless signals off of ceilings and walls to help eliminate dead zones.

Great Coverage:

The router provided excellent coverage in our large two story home. It even worked outside on the deck which is a wonderful place to be I might add. It also came with software that helps troubleshoot any connection problems.

Customer Service Experience:

Some time in the spring the router started acting up. I tried everything recommended to me. After multiple calls to the customer service department [product brags about 24/7 support] I still was not able to resolve the issue. Each time I called I got someone who barely spoke English......

This is really easy to install and not to expensive, I am not the most computer literate person around but even I could understand and set it up with the minimum of fuss.the CD that guides you through the process was easy and quick and painless. within a matter of minutes we are up and running all computer hooked p tot he Internet. I recommend this to anyone especially the novice computer user.
