Reviews from the Web
Below are reviews found on other web sites for this product submitted by customers.
The D-Link DGL-4500 earns an 8 out of 10. It's fast but expensive and with the availability of the cheaper DIR-655, users that don't need the dual band capabilities should go with the 655.
The D-Link DGL-4500 GamerLounge Xtreme N Gaming Router almost succeeds for home networking and hardcore gamers. It bears a few flaws, among which is a random reset during heavy load that might be the deal breaker.

I bought this because of dreams of streaming(& transcoding on the fly) HD movies to my TV through my wired PS3 but it is not any faster then 100base network speeds ~9MB/s. I have read that it is the program I was using but have not found one that does any better. I did find a program for strictly transferring files through the web browser, HFS (http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/) but you have to convert the files first so they can play on the PS3. I was getting xfer speeds up to ~17MB/s. But it wasn't worth it cause I had to spend too much time to convert all those .mkv files. Unfortunately my netbook isn't gigabit so I can't test what kinda files transfer speeds it's capable of

The router is great. It was very easy to setup and everything works great with very little work. QOS itself is not a bad feature if you have VOIP and download a lot but if you don't i would just disable it to increase performance. Other then that watch what settings you change and always tests things out to see if there is improvements. Overall great router and getting it on sale is even better.

Purchased this last week and installed it on the weekend. Sunday evening the unit went into a continious loop of resetting. Contacted NCIX tech support and they informed me that even though I still had a warrenty with them I had to contact D-Link. D-Link seems to think the unit is dead and suggested a replacement. Right from the start the router made a high pitched noise.

Upgrading from a D-Link 524, my wireless network is much faster now even under 802.11G. Setup took a few minutes. I find annoying that N standard is still draft since this may results in some potential incompatibilities. The LCD looks good but does not add tangible value. The D-LINK DIR-655 model may be a better value (same thing but without the LCD).

I noticed a huge boost in speed after upgrading to this from my trendnet 58Mbps wireless router. Streaming 1080p trailers is a breeze for this beast.
