Product Description
Create a wireless network to share high-speed Internet access with computers, game consoles, or media players from greater distances in your home or office. Using D-Link Xteme-N wireless products makes it really easy!
The D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router is a draft 802.11n compliant device that delivers up to 14x faster speeds and 6x farther range than 802.11g while staying backward compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b devices. Connect the Xtreme N Gigabit Router to a cable or DSL modem and provide high-speed Internet access to multiple computers, game consoles, and media players. Create a secure wireless network to share photos, files, music, videos, printers, and network storage.
With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including VoIP, Video Streaming, Online Gaming, and Web browsing are mixed together into a single data stream. By handling data this way, applications like video streaming could pause or delay. With D-Link's Intelligent QoS Technology, wired and wireless traffic is analyzed and separated into multiple data streams. These streams are then categorized by sensitivity to delay, so applications like VoIP, Video Streaming, and Online Gaming are given priority over Web browsing. This enables multiple applications to stream smoothly to your TV or PC. Delivering best-in-class performance, network security, and coverage, this router is the ideal centerpiece for your wireless network in the home or office. Backward compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b devices including game consoles and digital media players

 What a waste of money! October 11, 2008
purchased this router few months ago to connect 2 iMacs, 1 Mac Mini, 1 MacBook Pro, 1 Dell Precision 690, 1 Sony Vaio, PS3, XBox 360, iPod Touch, Linksys iPhone and Panasonic Skype Phone...
All good for few months. Then, the panasonic skype phone started to refuse to connect to my network, constantly got disconnection problems, random reset of the router, etc...
After all those troubles I purchased an Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station. ALL the problems solved. Yes, it costs almost twice, but believe me, the apple performed super well compared with this piece of garbage. I'm very disappointed with the D-Link 655 router and now it's far away on the closet, don't have soul to put 100 bucks on the trash, but it is where this thing belongs to.
Have the warning... this thing will give you some troubles in the long term, also, the setup is just horrible compared with old routers from d-link, not counting the too brilliant blue leds that are very disturbing in a dark room and the poor wi-fi range.
I'm purchasing my second Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station to increase the signal and cover all my property.
 D-Link Wireless Router -- fantastic. October 8, 2008
The D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless Router product I got a couple of weeks ago works fantastically well. Installation was a breeze, and the speed is noticeably faster than the previous wireless router it replaces (the older one "broke"). No glitches whatsoever. What else can I say? I am smiling.
Very impressive range October 8, 2008
I recently moved into an office without on-site Internet access. I had to walk over the another building (about 200 feet away) to use the local network. I was thinking about setting up a wireless bridge to extend the wifi signal to my office building. But thanks to the DIR-655 and its extended range, I don't need to. To my surprise, my laptop detected a wireless signal and could connect near my window. I set up a D-Link range extender in that window, the office now has wifi coverage. I'm getting throughput equal to about 80% of the company's T1 line speed.
The DIR-655 is in another building, over 200 feet away, in a closed cabinet away from windows! The range of this router eliminated the need for additional hardware.
not good October 6, 2008

I had this for one week and had to return it immediately. The wireless connection was inconsistent and unreliable and one of my computers couldn't connect to it at all. But worse, the ethernet router was frequently dropping out and needing to be reset. When you're playing poker online that's not what you want out of a router. I'd say skip this and wait for them to make a better router. Ironically I also bought the d-link 5 port gigabit switch and that works flawlessly. Stay away from this one.
Satisfied customer October 6, 2008
This was my first time setting up a wireless network and the D-link Dir 655 Estreme N Wireless Router was easy to setup. It is working fine and the signal strength is very strong in my house. I am using three (3) computers with this network.
It is not cheap, but I would recommend it for the overall proformance to value ratio.
