No clue how this modem works without DD-WRT. Piece of cake getting DD-WRT once you get to its web interface, no swinging a dead chicken five times (/sarcasm). I bought it because -it has green LEDs instead of blue, - has 8 LAN ports instead of 4, - has wireless N, - and you can put DD-WRT on it. Two biggest downsides are its not AC and its 100 Mbps LAN, not 1Gbps. Neither has been an issue for me. You can read up on the advantages and disadvantages of DD-WRT, but one I have not seen is its the same interface for three different routers (WRT54GL, Asus RT-N16, and this) , sort of like using a Windows PC.

I bought a second one after a bad experience with the first one. This just shows that when you shop on price, you will get a lot of useless products. Had to reset both units almost every time after turning off my computer. First one went in the trash and will be followed by the second one. Back to Netgear!

Once you install the DD-WRT firmware, this is a rock-solid router. With the factory firmware, it would drop signal constantly. I had five (5) devices that I needed to wire into my router, but only four (4) ports on virtually every router on the market. This router, the DIR-632, is so good, I bought a second one when lightning struck the home and fried the WAN port of my first one. I'm thinking about buying a third one so I can have a backup.

Virtual Server very intuitive and easy to configure. Eight private ports is very helpful. List of all connections, not just DHCP.

I really couldn't ask more for my money. this is the perfect item for my one story home with a basement and a crawl-space.. I use southwest broadband... 30d 20u i installed the router router under my kitchen . and ran all my Ethernet under the crawl-space to all the bedrooms. now that our Big flat screens have internet it is a great way to have a clean connection. and to use the Xbox's you must have a very strong connection and the direct TV needs to have a port. along with my file server... all is working fantastic ... the wireless signal covers the whole house so the laptops and phones work well in the house and have pretty good range out side the house .. also hooked up a new USB 2GB hard-drive to the unit and had little problems getting it to work with my computers in the home.... Just what the doctor ordered.. as my connection need have out weighed my out my 4port router. it was a good buyRead full review
Never got to use this item as manufacturer will not activate the router unless I pay them $45. As this was not previously disclosed, I chose to return the item. I have never heard of a supplier not supporting their brand new product. At least for 30-90 days. If it isn't a "turn key" acquisition, I am not interested.

I purchased a factory refurbished unit. The DIR-632 was easy to set up once I did a factory reset on the unit. Apparently it is not common practice to reset the unit to factory presets at the factory(?). The unit worked fine for about two weeks and then started dropping the internet connection at random. I have since updated the firmware and have had no issues to date and is working as it should.
I needed three things out of my new router 1 DD-wrt compatible 2 External antennas i could upgrade 3 USB port for shared storage This router fit the bill for my needs and was a great price i loaded dd-wrt on it and it was very easy only took a few minutes. I was able to get more than a 10 percent signal increase from the 2nd floor of my home with the router on the first floor.
Unbelievable good price! Four ports just don't get it for me and finding an 8-port router at the local electronics seller was not only futile, they wanted me to go online and pay some crazy price. I grabbed this router and cannot be happier! Great deal, D-Link quality and reputation, and I still have a port or two for reserve.
