Router/Firewall reviews

DI-624 - Rev C:

Latest firmware available here

If you have Xbox then, make sure you get the C revision with firmware 2.25 or higher. Firmware 2.50 has a few problems, so try to stay away from it. Firmware 2.42 should be ok until then next stable release.

Tested the WPA (Radius) with a windows 2000 server and an XP client, works perfectly.

The wireless works great, even with my neighbor's router interfering, no signal drop outs. As for the 108mbps, in come cases it may connect to DWL-g650 at a speeds of 33.6 mbps. If this happens try changing the Super G mode to Super G with Static turbo.

Heard a few problems of this router rebooting, never had this problem yet.

Other useful features:

Advanced, multi-faceted firewall with 5 policy-based filters, including content, MAC address, IP address, URL and/or domain name. Parental control (URL or Domain blocking).

Over all a good product, unless your stuck with the rebooting issue, seems to be no fix for that yet.
