Review on 🔁 Enhance your Network with the D-Link Wireless N300 Mbps Extreme-N Gigabit Router (DIR-655) by Jeff Figueroa

I think this router must be of insufficient quality. Some people seem to love it while others have had serious problems. When it works as it should, the feature set is pretty good. I've had DNS issues since day one. I only have average networking skills so it took me a long time to narrow down the issues (and I could still be very wrong about that), but the symptom was that random websites were intermittently inaccessible to me. Big websites like Facebook, Google etc. When this happened all other websites were working fine. I found that DNS queries from my laptop timed out during these errors. I'm pretty sure the problem was with that router. I became even safer yesterday when the router completely failed. All types of requests through the router were slowed down to several minutes. So all website updates rotated within minutes, including requests to the router's own web interface by IP address. My wife's Kindle couldn't even authenticate its wireless connection. Rebooting the router didn't change anything. It was a really weird problem, lasted about a day and I have no idea if it will happen again. But man. I can't let my router pull me down! At $55, we're no longer in cheap junk territory. TP-Link is on the way and I hope my unreliable DNS problems will be behind us soon. Chris gives the DIR-655 two stars.
