DLink shone on this 1

Dude this is amazing. I have Windows 7, the speed is between 273 Mbps and 300 Mbps. I assume the people having trouble are not setting it up properly. It took a bit, but after putting everything together I noticed a hell of a difference. Before watching YouTube videos I always had to watch them in 240, and sometimes if I was lucky 360, but at 360 I always had to pause to allow the video to cache. Not now, now I can watch in 720 HD without buffering. It's the same with Hulu: when I was watching a half-hour show, I had to keep pausing the video to allow it to cache. It took me a while to set everything up, but if you're patient and double-check everything, you shouldn't have any trouble getting this router up and running. My system is a desktop computer and I use wireless. Here are my specs and everything I run. I could not find a wireless Ad Link card for this router. Any card you get for your desktop needs to be dual band. I use my computer for gaming and multimedia. I also use the 2.4GHz channel for my Blackberry, another desktop (for the kids) and another laptop for my fiancΓ©. CoolerMaster CM 690 2 Custom CaseOS.
