Rating: - * Waste of money - no range ... From the word go, this router has been painful. I have a 1-room radius from this piece of junk. Sometimes, I one bar on my iphone with it sitting ontop of the router! Easy set up and everything, just doesn't work when set up! Rating: - * DO NOT BUY ... do yourself a favor and do not buy it, it constantly disconected. Customers support is not availble Rating: - * It works - mostly ... Hmm. I have Revision C. I am not about to say this is crap or that this thing is rock solid. This is a second tier wireless router. It used to drop the network every now and then and resets itself -- I am not sure if it still does that after a couple of firmware updates. Oh, yes, go get the latest firmware for it, and don't run without updating the firmware. Unfortutely, restoring your settings from a saved file does not work, so you'll have to configure the thing manually. That is somewhat annoying, but since firmware updates seem to come to a closure, maybe you don't need that anymore :) I have only two RJ45s connected to it: one that comes from my DSL modem (I think it is marked on the device with "WAN"), and only one of the 4-ports that I connecto my my internal network. That only port is connected to another switch in my intranet. I wanted to connect a computer directly to one of this guy's 4-ports, but it dropped the connection (or reset itself) so frequently, I got fed up with it and just treat it as if it is part of my DSL modem. So, if you have the idea that you could use this as your internal swotch, I urge you to reconsider that aspect. Use it as a firewall, as a wireless router, a DHCP server, etc., but not as a general purpose switch togeher with the rest. Rating: - * Product is ok, D-link support SUCKS big time ... have been using this product for more than a year .. the product is great, but the d-link support SUCKS!! after i got it and installed it (by the way, the installation was simple for me, the direction were acurate), my phone like was interfering with the signals and whenever i got a call, i used to loose connection. So i called the d-link support to ask for suggestions. The first line of support had some standard answers about changing channels etc which were not really helpful. So they transferred me to their technical support and the nerve of that guy who answered the call .. he just told me not to use my phone .. i was so pissed that if that guy was in front of me i would really have given him a piece of my mind .. i told him that if you guys knew that there would be such problem (especially since he had a ready answer), why do they not publish this as a known issue of their product in their website .. i also asked him how would he react if called for some support for some other product and got such an answer .. anyway, after thanking him for NOTHING and telling him that i would be returning the product (he cared less whether i returned it or not), i hung up the phone .. anyway, i calmed down and started looking at the setup and various options and got a channel or downloaded the latest software (i do not remember eactly what i did) but i got it working .. i have not really had any serious issues with it since .. do note that i am a software professional and so kind of knows about software and hardware installations because building software is my job .. i recently shifted to a bigger house which has 2 floors and i have the router on the top floor .. currently i am connected with it from the floor below and it is showing full signal .. i do have the "booster" option on .. i do not remember the correct option, but i am sure you can find that in the settings .. a point to note that is that when you reboot the router, it looses all the setting like the MAc filters etc and becomes available to everyone .. something which might be obvious to others, but i missed and noticed it when i reviewed the logs and found lot of my neighbours using my router .. someone accidently or purposely even changed some of my settings because even the admin password got reset to the defaults .. Rating: - * D-Link DI-624 Wireless Cable/DSL Router ... I recently purchased this routerD-Link DI-624 Air Plus XtremeG Wireless 108G Router and am very pleased with my choice. It was my first online experience and it went very smoothly. Not afraid to do it again. It hooked up easily, no glitches. |


While many novice gamers will enjoy the high-flying, mad-dunking action of the arcade mode, the heart of this game is a serious basketball simulation. With excellent controls, impressive artificial intelligence, and easy play-calling for cuts to the basket, this game should sit well with purists who prefer their mix of coaching and playing in equal doses. A deep create-a-player mode is also available for nurturing an NBA star-in-the-making and powering up his abilities as he performs well over a season. The moves of Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant were motion-captured for the movement of the players in this game, so expect fluid athletic motion. --Jeff Young
