Both routers look great and meet my requirements. SlikLizrd, can you specify how much is one better than the other for: - Wired and Wireless performance - Wireless Range - NAS performance - Media Server performance Thanks

I use the Netgear Wireless N300 with a D-Link DAP-2553 wireless access point.

Should not make any difference for the NetGear router as cat5 goes to 100 MHz without any problem. I would be certain to use quality cat5 cable as there can be some differences, although there isn't supposed to be.

I am not an expert concerning routers, however I found the WNDR4000 N750 to be weaker than my old Belkin so I returned the Netgear and continued to use my Belkin.

I cannot answer that as I have only used it with Netgear. I bought this refurbished for $15 and still love it :-) working great!!! The wife is happy, not loss connections at all...

Hands down the dw621 is the better router. Excellent micro depth adjustment, dust pick up, base has parallel sides. The only draw back is the switch, it takes getting used to, there's some awkward finger/wrist movement required.

The DIR-855 just reappeared on the D-Link web site this week (~7/31) . So hopefully things are moving toward a resumption in production.

Someone posted in the following link at the forum over at SmallnetBuilder that they have received the v2 from Amazon. That doesn't guarantee someone else will, however, but I am personally worth considering the new Netgear Rangemax WNDR3700 given the excellent reviews and reported stability (and similar cost).http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=229&page;=16

C.Tortora, what wireless adapter did you get, if you don't mind me asking? I think the only option for the DMP-BD70V is an ethernet wireless adapter. Any recommendations?

FYI - a cheaper solution is to buy a cheap used wireless router and set it up as a wireless bridge. I purchased one used for $29.99 . I now have my bd-p1600 hardwired to the bridge and it works great.. I am using dd-wrt on both..

I have a dual-band router... the Asus "Dark Knight" router (a VERY nice router). It has both 5.0 and 2.4 bands on "n" wireless. My BD device only sees the 2.4 band.In fact, I only have a couple of devices which can see my "5.0" channel. In those cases, I always connect them to the 5.0 band, because it's so seldom used otherwise.

Certainly the GL is a better model, but unless users really want to hack their routers and don't care if they void the warranty, this version (v5-v7) is good enough for most purposes.I would go to the Linksys website and get the latest firmware, and possibly upgrade the antennas if necessary.

I just replaced a dead DIR-524 with a DIR-655, and my range is actually much worse. Is there any known solutions to increase range? I've upgraded firmware, fiddled with all settings, changed positions, etc, and nothing increased range. I have it set as G only, as I only have two G laptops running off of it.

I have Century link as my DSL provider with an actionteck wireless-ready gateway. Am using a Cisco wireless-n router making the whole house Wi-fi ready. But that sounds like a question to ask Warner cable. Cannot see why not though. Good luck.

There is discussion at: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=170851&view=next&sid=970164f48f9bce92f137fccdfb92dcf7 https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Netgear_JNR3210 The answer would seem to be "NO".

I agree I tried a Belkin router because for the price it seemed better than linksys. i am constantly restarting the router and looseing connection. I to am returning the belkin to get a lynksys.
