Works flawlessly for me. by David Nox on amazon.com Jun 22, 2012
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this? ) This is my first wireless router. I have a wired router but wanted to try a wireless one when I bought a kindle fire that needed a wireless connection. I opened the box and had ...
 
Works well by N/A on newegg.com Jun 6, 2011
Many reviewers here seem to not understand what 5Ghz band (the second N band supported) is meant for. It actually has descreased range over 2.4Ghz but _potentially_ less interference and greater bandwidth. It's not the routers fault, it's basics physics ...
 
Ga-reat by Samantha and Company on bhphotovideo.com Dec 12, 2011
It's fast and doesn't drop the connection like our old linksys G router did. We get great reception all over our house. My dad, who is not technically savy, had zero trouble hooking it up! Before we got this router we thought my mother's new Kindle Fire was defective and now it works perfectly.

decent for the money by Blackthanos on officedepot.com Dec 11, 2011
Ok, I'm no tech head and I am definitely not an electronic expert, BUT I can say this. This router isn't top of the line but it does get the job done. If you want wireless internet and you don't have a huge house this should serve you well. I am assuming ...
 
I think it's a pretty decent router by james0658 on cnet.com Dec 30, 2011
All in all the Dlink DIR-815 router is pretty good. Other than the fact of the confusing install, but other than that it works great! I've had a Dlink before and for the price that they charge it's a well rounded buy.(Even at full price) They keep the ...

Worst router ever !! by Frank on amazon.com Jun 9, 2012
I have had this device a litle over 1 year and have NOTHING but problems with it, and as I see from other users, I also have to reset/reboot (power off/on) about once a day. Been looking for months at D-Link's website to see a fix on the firmware, but ...
 
This D-Link router is all a facade. by lockemshoto on cnet.com Jul 1, 2012
The box is a complete lie. Although this router gives you the two connections that most aim for, a lot of people will be unhappy with the features provided. Sure, you can cut people off from your internet, but when you need multiple people sharing the ...
 
NOT recommended by rolandtumbler on officedepot.com Dec 6, 2010
This was purchased to replace a DIR 615 that was frequently dropping wireless connection. I have 8 wireless devices (PC/Mac/iPod/iPhone) on my WLAN. The thought was that the dual-band would help maintain a connection in an RF-rich environment (at least ...

Disappointing by Geekeleh on newegg.com Sep 23, 2011
Worked pretty well for about the first month, but no longer works consistently. Range on the 5ghz N band is not great, but I have heard that that is not so unusual, so I can't say if this worse than others. It is a pain having to reboot this. I will probably ...
 
TERRIBLE PRODUCT by Sean E Rosenberg on amazon.com May 16, 2012
Constant need to reboot this route make an otherwise terrific product absolutely terrible. We run a couple of laptops, phones/touches, DTV, etc. Typical for someone in the market for a dual band product. Unfortunately the router will pretty much stop ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: D-Link DIR-815 Wireless N 300 Dual Band Router
Range is good, and multiple devices of different frequencies can connect with no bog or lag...Stable in this configuration, but that's hardly a recommendation...it would be nice for it to be a gigabit wired router, but it is reasonably priced for what it is so I shouldn't complain...

The things that the router has can be viewed as things that are useful and outweigh the cons of having this router, but in all honesty, if you have any experience with terrible routers then you will know that this is a terrible deal...This router is recommended for only a single person depending on what the router is being used for...Sure, blocking them can be a quick fix, but what will you say to them after they realise you've blocked them off for good when they need it as well...

value for money , easy to use , design , Performance has a medium range Ok, I'm no tech head and I am definitely not an electronic expert, BUT I can say this...I am assuming that the people looking at this router are people on a budget or else you would be looking at the $120 + routers so as I said for the money it's a good router...The signal gets weak on the other side of the house but that's partly because of where we placed it.(with the cable modem in the farthest room on the left of house) All in all not bad if you are on a budget...
