Customer Reviews of D-Link DI 714 - Wireless router - EN, Fast EN
Fly By Night, mediocre at best company This Router (like most of their products) is the product of
a company founded on widespread mediocrity.
As a Network security Engineer, and even more importantly,
the guy that many people try to keep up with technologically
I have to say that D-Link has successfully embedded themselves
in the technology market. They are the company to buy from if
you don't mind paying an average price for below average
quality.
If you want a real broadband router try Linksys they cost
about the same but are better overall. I think D-Link needs
to narrow their product range and put more effort into
their product quality as they seem to be spread too thin.
yes and no
Overall installation was very easy, up in 15 minutes.
I found the wireless component of this product very good. Decent range (whole house), easy to setup. I hear you should use encryption to hide the backdoor of this product, and any "piggybacking" from the outside.
The initial install was very good. Using DHCP from ISP, all went together well. All my computers found the router without problems,and received an IP address.
This product goes straight down the tubes with its advanced features, which is what sold me. I cannot get its "virtual server" settings to route HTTP, FTP, Telnet traffic to internal servers. The "ALL(DMZ)" setting was the only way to get one server visible on the outside, which defeats the purpose of the firewall. I was only able to get one of three computers in the DMZ. Also, with DMZ enabled, I was not able to VPN (using IPSec) to my company's private net thru the router. However, with DMZ disabled, VPN works fine.
I am using the most updated firmware, which shipped with the product. Hoping there is a upgrade soon to fix this hunk of junk, and allow it to do what I want it to. I had a friend who bought this, and returned it in two days for the DI-713P, which he reports works much better.
Support is free, and not very helpful. Reboot the router, upgrade the firmware or send it back seem to be their favorite replys. Don't try to call the support phone number, because you will never hear back. By the time I got around to trying the advanced features, my trial period was over, lost my receipt and original packaging. Definitely re-thinking this purchase...
Piece of Junk
Not only is the design of this router ugly and unattactive, but the guts don't work either.
I was at first impressed with the router. The firmware is very easy to access and configure. It worked great for a while, but I noticed that Internet programs such as chat clients--AIM and ICQ for example--kept disconnecting on their own, after about an hour or so of being connected. This never happened with my Linksys router. I check my configuration. Everything is how it should be. So, I called their free tech support. Now I know why it's free. The guy I talked to didn't know a Broadband Router from a hole in the ground. He came up with every excuse as to why it wasn't working, and myself being a CIT major, told him why the reasons he was coming up with didn't make any sense. He finally decided that I had a bad router, and that something was just "missing" from the firmware.
"But I have the most recent firmware installed on it!"
"Yeah, well, sometimes it just happens to where there's something missing on the router."
Right. I'll be sticking with either Linksys or Netgear, and I recommend you do too.
