As far as a no frills router seems to work Okay. Using it as a wireless access point . I would like to leave a 5 star review. At this time I am not sure if the router is actually causing current issues or if it is other hardware or a configuration issue. will update review at a latter date.

The factory default for this router's transmitter power is set to "high". It shouldn't be. On that setting, it will overheat and freeze inside of an hour or two. Set to medium, you have to hit it pretty hard to make it freeze up. The D-Link firmware has decent functionality, and, on medium power, the router performs reasonably well. 802.11 range is limited, of course, but you'll find that's true of most N-capable routers. For $12 - which is what I paid for a used unit - it's not terrible. There is no open-source or third-party firmware available, so you're stuck with D-Link's factory firmware - probably permanently. (The folks at DD-WRT have had a donated unit since 2012, and apparently haven't done anything with it, and OpenWRT only kinda, sorta works with it. In terminal mode only. Via a hardware hack.) Make sure you change the freakin' password. Everyone and his little sister can hack it, otherwise ...Read full review

Great router for the price, i have a small house and it covers its range. For around $30 it is probably the best you could find. Wireless works great, connects to any wifi device just fine. I did not use any software, just dlinks default gateway of 192.168.0.1, went from there and adjusted to my specs. Unfortunately im giving this one away and getting a linksys because this model(idk about other dlinks), do not like voIP devices like the magicjack and such. Its security parameters are a bit to strict with the ports, even after statically configuring and opening ports its still fussy. I hear the linksys will still work fine in auto DHCP, sounds good to me! If you do not use an voIP device i highly recommend it though, its great otherwise for anything. Sucks im letting go, but then again it was not much to begin with!Read full review
login only worked once and that was to try to set it up. this could not even detect a 300mbps cable internet direct connection. it only allowed internet connection through the lan rj45 ports and no wifi. I donated it to good will and kept my netgear wifi router because it is reliable and my smart tv can connect to it's 5g wifi 1200ac wifil. save your money and buy some thing better, this thing is total junk.

the DIR 601 is easy to set up and use. no issues with wifi signal as is. However, I'm not one to stick with non removable antenna routers. I like upgrading my antenna if I need to. I added a RP-SMA jack to the router so I could connect my High gain removable antenna and have no issues at all. Great little router for the value and upgrading to 802.11N technology.

I couldn't initiate the security feature as the pin number which was provided didn't work. Otherwise, the device did work but it seemed to be possibly a refurbished unit and not new.

Plugged into telephone line, then to DSL modem and modem to computer. I have WI-FI and DSL for my tablet and computer. Works perfectly.

While installing router loading disc failed. Had to set up manually and unable to make wireless router secure and private . Paperwork that came with product gives help phone number that instructed me that I was not eligible for service from D-Link. This is because product not purchased from them.

I bought the D-link to establish wireless internet connection in my house, after buying a laptop computer. This product was not just affordable, but also very convenient, as in addition to providing the wireless conection, it also has outlets for additional computers that require a ground connection, which enabled me to also connect my son's computer, the reception that we get with the D-link is excelent. The only thing I would recommend is an instruction sheet (or disk), as there was none provided. I found the instalation instructions, which are not that simple, since certain codes have to be used for both the connection and security of the system, in the internet, in two different sites. Once installed I found this product superior to others in other people's homes.
I have set up several wireless routers in the past that included several brands including D-Link, Belkin and Linksys. Well, I decided it was time to upgrade to a "N" series router at home. I saw this router as a Daily Deal on Ebay for $16.99. I did a Google search to see what kind of reviews were out there... most were very well rated. I bought the router and received it about 5 days later. I took a quick look at the instructions, then installed it. I had it running in about 5 minutes! I linked my laptop within another few minutes! This router works great with excellent performance. I can stream HD quality video to the laptop flawlessly. This is an easy to set up, high quality router that I would recommend to any of my family or friends!
