 A snap to set up, great price, fast. March 6, 2010
Dale J
I am running Vista-64 on an HP system and have a Comcast voice and data modem. I inserted the CD, followed the instructions and it worked with no problem. I didn't even have to reset the modem. My laptop is running Ubuntu Linux with a Belkin card. Fast and reliable.
Buggy DHCP March 6, 2010
Brian G. Vaughan (San Francisco, CA USA)
This would be a good wireless router overall, and a good bargain, if it weren't for the buggy DHCP, which most would consider a core feature of a wireless router. It's possible to work around this shortcoming by manually configuring wireless clients with specific IP addresses. Perhaps D-Link will eventually over a firmware upgrade to fix this -- meanwhile, this bug is a serious shortcoming to an otherwise good wireless router, and people who want a reliable plug-and-play option should not use this router.
The problem manifests as a wireless client failing to complete connection to the router. On the router's internal log, there's a long sequence of entries of the form, "Wireless system with Mac address [numbers separated by colons] disassociate reason 8". This has been a known issue with the DIR-615 for some time, with lots of reports of the problem in the official support forum and elsewhere.
Wireless clients can generally be configured to accept a "manual" or "static" IP address. The straightforward approach is to assign each device an IP address starting with 192.168.0.2, each device getting a unique IP. Netmask is 255.255.255.0, router or default route is 192.168.0.1, and DNS server is 192.168.0.1.
Some people were able to replace the firmware with dd-wrt, but I was unable to do so. That's a solution only for advanced users, in any case.
Great... at times March 6, 2010
J. Thrall (Portland OR)
I was tricked by the low price... The router is good except about once a week I have to reset it otherwise... it won't work... other reviews seem similar...
 Good Features, Terrible Reliability March 5, 2010
Steven G. Richards (OR USA)
Features are great, when it works. The router frequently drops connections and must be rebooted before anything will work again. D-Link forums are full of people with the same issue, but no fix has been forthcoming.
Good for the price March 5, 2010
Head Shrinker (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I don't consider myself an absolute newbie and had installed a few routers before. This one was a little challenging, and I have no clue how it eventually began to work, but it does.
