Review on 🌐 D-Link EBR-2310 Ethernet Broadband Router: Effortlessly Fast Internet Connectivity by Mood Neboet

UPDATE - September 2010: This wired ethernet router worked well for a little over 2 years and then started to have even more frequent periods of slow or failing web page loading. Many other people had similar problems. Check out these reviews and Google "D-Link 2310 Slow Web Page Loading" for plenty of examples. When I contacted D-Link support, they didn't confirm the issue (despite several posts about it on their own D-Link forum). I solved the problem by replacing it with a TRENDnet TW100-S4W1CA 4-port broadband router (blue) available from Revain for about $25. So far so good, but I'll hold off on a review for now. ------------ Despite the Windows-centric description and specs, this router works very well with all my Mac networks and was very easy to set up. If you don't have a Windows window to connect to either, you can ignore the included installer wizard CD. (It includes a user manual in PDF format, but you can also download it from the D-Link website.) The box includes simple instructions for connecting the router to your cable/DSL modem and another using an Ethernet cable Network. computers. After that, just go to your Mac and open System Preferences/Network. Click on "Embedded Ethernet", "Configure with DHCP" and you are done. Setting up a mixed WiFi/LAN was as easy as connecting my Airport Express to one of the ports on my D-Link router with an Ethernet cable. If you haven't set up your airport network yet, you can use the Airport Utility to do so. Excellent value for money and quality. In case anyone is wondering, there are several reasons I have a wired router in this wireless world: 1. My Airport Express network is a slower version of 811.g. I have a new iMac with a faster 811.n card and two older Macs with 811.g. If I connect them all to my current wireless network, even the new iMac connects to 811.g. By connecting my new Mac to Ethernet and my old one to WiFi, I get a faster internet connection with the new one. But why not just buy an 811.n wireless router like the new Airport Express or Extreme? Two reasons: $$$ and I still need to set up two separate networks, 811.g and 811.n, so as not to slow down the .n network by connecting .g.2 devices to it. I just got a Linksys CIT-400 internet phone (via Skype) that is only connected via ethernet, so I needed a mixed ethernet/wireless network.
