D-Link is great. I have it and have installed two other wireless networks
with it. It works period.

use linksys if you want to hack the router to get more power and management
tools. linksys has more power then d-link. i had d-link worked fine but i
need for power and tools. it cost's more but not by much, well worth the buy

if you have service pack 2 on xp, easy solution i had the some problem where
live at. conrtol panel--->network and internet conmnections--->network
connections--->right click your wireless network connetion your useing then
select properties----go to wireless network tab in the top middle. select
your router name and clikc move up button till it's the top of the list if
not already. then selsct the other ones and hit the properties button. in
connections tab uncheck Connect when this network is in range. also if you
are able to get on there network then you may be able to get on there router
and turn off the ssid so it won broadcast the signal for the router. you
should do the same if you havent, change the default password and make it
complex like myr0ut$r1s(ool*!.

also great choice on the router, i have a firmware hack that will add more
features and power to your router as well, if you want it.

Good for you. I find it easier to use my fingers and thumbs.

More power to you. I have the exact same unit. It was flakey as
hell, and I went back and forth multiple times with D-Link Tech
Support. In desperation I went to the same store and bought a DI-614
to prove to myself -- and despite their best efforts to them -- that
the RF part of the 714P was tits-up. Grudgingly, someone with the
email address (E-Mail Removed) issued me a RMA and made me fill out
some forms. I tried emailing MaCarlos back and the address didn't
work. I emailed tech support and they ignored me. The 714P is
sitting in a box with the RMA filled out awaiting the cross-shipment.

The 614 is still working.

Bottom line: SOME of d-link's units are crap. Some aren't. So you
cannot say with 100% certainty that D-link PRODUCTS are crap.

If you get one that's crap, or if you can't get it to work, you'll be
exposed to Tech Support. And THAT is where you are most likely to
find the crap.
