    Run from this router, and run even faster from Tigerdirect.

    Read the D-Link forums direct. Vast majority of owners HATE this model and firmware.

    I've had this router with firmware 1.21 for 2 years and it's the best router I've ever owned.

    I just bought it from NewEeg for $60. From what I have read, about half of the people hate it because it either degrades in performance or they have to reset it all the time, the other half have had no problems and love it.

    #3 Sigh... because all the owners post on D-Link forums, right? And all those people are definitely confirmed owners of the DIR-655, right?

    Anyway, I'd stay away from Tigerdirect unless this were some amazingly unheardof price, which it isn't.

    My DIR-655 has been running for years flawlessly, using it as a primary router with DHCP server. Just recently set up a WNDR3700 acting as a wired gigabit switch w/ a 2.4GHz&5GHz wireless AP to help with wireless media streaming. The setup, so far, has only required me to restart the WNDR3700 and only when it hasn't seen a wireless client in months.
