Good Value and Performance,
January 28, 2008

This is a good router, but I had issues throughout setup. I have Qwest DSL and the DIR 615 wizard setup could not auto configure the router to offer internet service.
Most routers use an intranet address in the range of 192.168.X.X , then devices connected to the router are assigned inside that ip range. I manually played with the settings and still could not get it to work. Irritated, I called Qwest thinking the problem was with the DNS values. That assumption was incorrect and usually Qwest DSL requires no tweaking at the router level. Qwest DSL tech support was great. They said it was a setup issue with the router and called Dlink’s tech team on a Sunday morning and we had a 3 way call. Dlink’s technician had me fixed up in three minutes.
Here’s what worked for me. Under the router’s ‘network settings’ we set the router IP address to 172.16.0.1 and the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. If not checked, enable “DHCP Server”. Under ‘Wireless’ set the Channel to eleven and the Mode to “Mixed” to support 802.11b,g,n. I set security to WPA Personal. Make sure to save the configuration and this will cause the router to reboot. If things do not work now, unplug the modem to cold start the system, wait a minute and plug in the router.
Contrary to what someone wrote in a review, this router does indeed support wireless N devices in a mixed environement and doesn’t downstep to G for the whole network.
Remember, you can not setup the router via wireless. You must use an ethernet cable from your pc to port #1 on the router. Another cable runs from the router Internet port to the dsl modem.
Before calling tech support, 1st confirm that the modem is working. Run a cable from the pc to the modem and confirm you may be able to browse the Internet. With the modem eliminated as an issue, the tech people can quickly assist you configure the router. I am using Vista and the setup procedure didn’t require any Windows firewall changes so keep the firewall ‘On’.
I can be wrong but here is what I think the core setup problem was for me. The Qwest DSL modem uses a DHCP Default Gateway of 192.168.0.1. This is the same IP the Dlink router tries to use as its address. You end up with an IP addresss clash since both can not use the same address. The Dlink technician changed the router address to a different subnet in 172.16.X.X and eliminated the clash.

Good router, but N mode doesnt work in mixed environment,

This is an nice router. I found it simple to set up, it has up to date security features and works well except for the 802.11N issue
My problem with this router is that if you have any 802.11G devices in your network, then the network will run at G speeds, period says buyer support. I have one network device that’s 802.11G and non upgradeable. I bought this router with a DLink 802.11N PCMCIA card to get my laptop running at 802.11N, but, the router won’t talk N to the card in the laptop, because I have a G device on my network. , while the router is doing a good job as an 802.11G router, I may also throw the PCMCIA card away.
DLink’s website says of the DIR 615 router that “Not only does D Link’s Wireless N technology extend your wireless range, it also works with your present 802.11g wireless devices.” It could be nice if DLink fessed up that mixed mode doesnt work as projected. That factoid is hidden in a FAQ on the page for the PCMCIA card. I had to call buyer support to learn this. They say there aren’t plans to upgrade the firmware to truely support mixed mode environments.

No Problem with DIR 615,

I am writing this review to help dispel the myths about this router. I read many bad reviews for this router after I ordered it. I got really anxious and started to get buyer’s remorse, before I had it in my hands. I received the DIR 615 today and now hooked it up, I transfered all the cables from my D Link ‘b’ wireless router. I restarted my Time Warner Cable Modem and my Mac G4 computer. Everything worked good. I checked the wi fi connection to my iMac, which worked perfect, after I changed the network selection on the iMac. I then took my Titanium G4 Powermac to the second floor the DIR 615 is setup in the basement. I got perfect reception two flights up. After checking all Wi Fi functionality, I upgraded the firmware, from ver. 2.2 to 2.4 via D Link’s website, all is well. No problems.
