Cheapest price going, marked down from 129.99 regular price

figured i'd make sure i got one before i let u guys know :P

[Presto]

Nice.. they have some other decent deals too. Harmony 550 for $70. 16GB Flash drive for $27.... man, i gotta get out there.

Awesome router for a very good price.

We sold out @ $89.99 in no time.

Too bad they're discontinued now and the DIR-825 is substantially more expensive while offering only a slight improvement and 'future-proofing'.

hey guys why does my Wireless connection suck with this router?

my Wii cannot even detect it, the Wii is upstairs and probably as far away from the router as u can get in my house, but it's not more then 65 feet from the router?

even my old WRT300N could at least connect from time to time with the Wii, now with this brand new suposidly better router i cant even detect it?

any of these advanced wireless settings i should fuck with?

Transmit Power :HIGH
Beacon Period :(20..1000)
RTS Threshold :(0..2347)
Fragmentation Threshold :(256..2346)
DTIM Interval :(1..255)
802.11d Enable :
WMM Enable :
Short GI: ENABLED

damn i have a dir-625 and it works great. Might snatch one of these up :)

my wii connects to it fine. I've been using this router for quite some time and one in every house i live in. its even works great with the PCCW 100Mb fiber line. Its just able to handle so much traffic.

Are you using WPA/WPA2 encryption ? If so, the Wii doesn't support those encryption methods.

The Wii does support WPA/WPA2.

From Nintendo (http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wii/en_na/onlineWirelessRouterWEPWPA.jsp)::

There are several different WPA variations. The Wii is compatible with:
* WPA - PSK (TKIP)
* WPA - PSK (AES)
* WPA2 - PSK (AES)



It would suck if only WEP was available. No one should be using WEP anymore.

apparently, the DIR-655's USB port can now act as a print server or NAS port for USB HDD with the latest firmware!

[Hondaracer]

got it working with my Wii, i'm using WPA, although the distance of the wireless really isnt what i hoped it would be

apparently, the DIR-655's USB port can now act as a print server or NAS port for USB HDD with the latest firmware! The software to enable it is god awful at this point. It doesn't work properly with either my XP machine nor my Vista 64-bit machine.

Maybe after a few more revisions, it might be worthwhile.

i got the dr615 for $40..is it worth the price?..or should i pay the extra for the 655?

[Machi604]

definitely pick up the 655 if you can.. i had a 615 before and it was pure crap!

[cctw]

soo..pm at fs since they have it for $119..got it for $75 + taxes =D

[FiveDime]

i have this router, and it just bit the dust about 2 weeks ago... besides my 100$ router now being a paper weight, it was pretty good

[Presto]

Anyone using alternate firmware on their 655 or 625? If so, which one, and does it support VLANs?

[Hondaracer]

this router sucks.. and not just cause im having problems, the wireless distance is horrible compared to my 2 year old WRT300N

disapointing to say the least.

[FiveDime]

my dir-655 which is a a bit over a year old is now a paper weight, yay 150$ peice of crap!

[Presto]

So much for that! Thanks for the insight. I'll stick to good ol' Linksys.

wrt54gl is the best router out, hands down

[willystyle]

wrt54gl is the best router out, hands down
hell yeah, thats what im using...
network's been up for 44 days, prior to that 100 something.. and the only reason why i had to reset it was because my WAN IP changed.. lol

is there a "N" version of the WRT54GL equivalent?

[.Renn.Sport]

if u download a lot of BT, the 655 can handle it fine, those WRT54GL are too slow to process all the traffic. its even more noticeable on my PCCW 100Mb line, any router thats not gigabit will crash once there is BT downloading.

the DIR825 is even better

[Presto]

^^^

I have found that the killer is DHT. Turn that option off in BT, and you'll have no problems with router barfing. I'm still running 100mbit on my networks, and have zero issues with BT.

[.Renn.Sport]

and you are connected to a what? 10Mb or less internet line?
