D-Link DI-804HV Router/4-port switchStrengths: Extremely easy to install and get set up. Small, compact and light, but with all the bessl and whistles. Weakness: None that I have found so far. I purchased this unit to replace a Linksys BEFSR41 that bit the dust. I had a network set up, 2 computers and a game console, and when the Linksys died I was unsure what the problem was so we went without a network for several months while I worked on the problem. 85% of readers found this review helpful.

DLink DI-804HV Cable/DSL VPN RouterStrengths: Great router with VPN Support. Very well made and comes full of other features. Weakness: No Wireless Feature. I bought this router for my home network and I like the VPN support and how simple it is to setup. Well made and it stays cool. I paid about $55 for it and I think the price is right. 78% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Without wireless function, it is secured but not...Strengths: Compact and secure Weakness: Especially customer service I ordered it online. Its customer service was not that excellent. I wanted to order a wireless router and was not sure about if it is. The online information was misleading, too. After I got this item, I called D-Link. For more than 2 hours, no one picked up the phone. Anyway, this is not a wireless router. Although it is not very convenient to use without long cables, it works fine. 0% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

D-Link Express EtherNetwork Security Router
Strengths: D-Link quality, simple setup and serial port for dial up modem.
Weakness: None apparent. Although I wish D-Link would offer a wireless router with a serial port.
I bought this router because it has a serial port for connecting a dial-up modem in addition to the usual ethernet port for a DSL or cable modem. I want the dial-up capability for backup and for those occasions when I want to share a dial up connection to the internet. The DI-804 provides SPI and NAT protection as well as MAC filters, IP filters, etc.
The DI-804 worked perfectly out of the box. The dial-up feature worked as I wanted with my current modem. And it was easy to connect a wireless router to serve as a wireless access point.
Excellent router for anyone who wants or needs dial-up capability in their network, or just needs a wired router.
