Great for the price by N/A on newegg.com May 16, 2012
This is my second D-Link, and I have nothing but good things to say about them. The one I have running at my other house has never ever ever ever had to be restarted. I am using stock firmware and already this router is kicking but* and taking names. ...
 
good value by dion tims on amazon.com Jun 22, 2012
Bought a DIR-615 a few years ago - worked fine until I connected it to a 12V supply instead of 5V. I, of course, destroyed it and did not think twice but buy the same model again. Took less than 10 min to set up. Happy again
 
"Best router I've ever had!" by zelnorf on cnet.com Jan 29, 2011
This is the first router I've ever had where I plugged it in and it worked out of the box. I do have to say follow the set up instructions in the box as far as plugging stuff into it in the right order and which to power up first. I didn't like the easy ...

DO NOT BUY THIS ROUTER by SC on amazon.com Jul 9, 2012
I purchased this router in Jan 2012. Every single month, it goes offline. I have to call customer service and reconfigure it. It stays online for a month and then goes offline again. Each time it takes at least 30 - 45 min to walk through reconfiguring ...
 
D-Link DIR-615 by TKBOO on newegg.com Jul 5, 2012
I replaced this with a Belkin N 300 plus, upgraded the firmware after installation and never had to reboot the router because of a dropped connection. i have had it for 6mo now. Available for less than $25 on the internet if you dig hard enough.
 
"DO NOT BUY" by al-petrini on cnet.com Mar 16, 2012
I just wanted to warn people about this router. It's a catastrophe and no one should be selling this crap. Wireless connection is disconnecting every 20 min or so (Windows 7) . If you have Windows XP forget it You cannot even have access : cannot transfer ...
