D-Link Gaming Router DGL-4300 Impressive!

[richneo]

After some considerations and saving up, i decided to give D-Link's Gaming Router DGL-4300 a shot.

I do massive file transfers between my laptop, desktop and my brother's laptop.
All of which are running on Gigabit port except my brother's laptop which is running on DWL-G650 Super G card.

package comes with 5dBi antenna!

[richneo]

I started off with NETIQ's benchmark.

1 Laptop is running G650 connected to 108Mbps to the router at a distance 5 meters away from router in my room. 1 Desktop is connected to wired LAN with a 20 meters lan cable at the living room.

Having a gigabit port on my new fujitsu s7020 laptop and my ASUS P4P800SE mobo, im very eager to test out the gigabit throuhput. Below is the test result.

[richneo]

Like uncle trichard, i tried some bit torrenting. I am running MOL 6500. Below is the screen shot. Hope im not as boasting.

http://www.photoi.org/share/upload/1165266851/bt.jpg

I decided to try out if D-Link's Gamefuel works. I turned on gamefuel in the settings and continued doing torrenting. I launched VOIP test from http://www.testyourvoip.com
I can say, the results is pretty impressive.

[ooops]

You tested everything except playing online games thru it lei! :o

Can u test the online gaming part, wired n wireless, concurrently with the rest of your tests?.. :D

i dun play wow leh.. i oni play Maple.. but maple traffic not heavy wor...

maybe i ask my neighbour to access my gaming router and test gaming.

Hmm... WCG is here maybe you can supply for the gaming using wireless.. :D
Maybe your are right to get my neighbour to join me for a game.. :s13:

[DOMHO7]

Looks impressive :D

[hell_master]

I got play WOW but i never take screenshot yet lol.
I also using this router.
Wow i never realise the thru put so power lol.
Everyday pa game la bo eng do BT or limewire etc somemore dunno wat to download also.
But seriously speaking i play two online games before and both need to pay one is RYL2 and now is WOW.
RYL2 when i play with ordinary router hor will lag lo.Tamade change back to gaming router bo lag at all.In that malaysian game www.ryl2.com.my alot of ppl in there complaining abt lag n lag.I never complain before cos i can see that if it start to lag mostly is due to the server side.Once everyone in the game start to shout lag i will know its not my router problem anymore and its the game server lag.Even when i start to lag like hell i will change to using pure modem to test whether my router got problem or game server got problem.
In WOW the same thing.I got one time i got 16000ms of latency and i thought my router got problem change to pure modem den realise is the server that is lagging.I seriously never know wat is lag using this gaming router its worth my money.My sister using wireless doing downloading all these i never experience abit of nuisance also cos most routers when you do downloading and playing game online you will experience bad latency.I using Pacific net by the way so maybe later i go home and play get a screenshot.

u kidding la...

i poor student where got like u earn big bucks...

took me so long to saved enuff just to buy this impressive gaming router not to mentioned still have the repay my uni school fees and the study loans i've taken....

where got money to supply to WCG?

It'd better be considering the price compared to the other routers on the market.

[hell_master]

By the way this one got lifetime warranty bo.
D Link imply that wireless router is lifetime warranty.
If its lifetime warranty my money is worth a lifetime too leh
MANA BO HUA LEH LOL :D

anyway, life time also just the product's life.... once EOL, also no warranty liao... or many replace with new model during RMA...

[richneo]

anyway, life time also just the product's life.... once EOL, also no warranty liao... or many replace with new model during RMA...
its confirmed unlimited lifetime warranty.

they told me that if it reaches EOL, they will replace with another model of equal value or above.

no nid to worry lar.. i kep[t telling myself its upgrade proof.

[richneo]

It'd better be considering the price compared to the other routers on the market.
comparing this price with pre-N MIMO, i rather buy this...

Wat cables are you using?

[mmatrix]

Can this router allows you to host internet games thru it without forwarding ports?

No, what network cable are you using for gigabit? Isn't 60mbps quite low?

[richneo]

No, what network cable are you using for gigabit? Isn't 60mbps quite low?
thats wireless SuperG.....

gigabit is around 700mbps

20meters lan cable and face plate crimp by myself one

I think what he meant is which type of cat cable you're using... for 100mbps, we usually use cat 5 cables, think for gigabit lan, there's cat 6 or cat 7...

[richneo]

er.. cat5e is also approved for gigabit network....

[IDZetc]

er.. cat5e is also approved for gigabit network....
is it? thought they were recommending cat 6 and above or something for gigabit network?
anyway, here's more info...

Category 5 Cable (UTP) (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
A multipair (usually 4 pair) high performance cable that consists of twisted pair conductors, used mainly for data transmission. Note: The twisting of the pairs gives the cable a certain amount of immunity from the infiltration of unwanted interference. category-5 UTP cabling systems are by far, the most common (compared to SCTP) in the United States. Basic cat 5 cable was designed for characteristics of up to 100 MHz. Category 5 cable is typically used for Ethernet networks running at 10 or 100 Mbps.

Category 5 E Cable (enhanced)
Same as Category 5, except that it is made to somewhat more stringent standards (see comparison chart below). The Category 5 E standard is now officially part of the 568A standard. Category 5 E is recommended for all new installations, and was designed for transmission speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gigabit Ethernet).

Category 6
Same as Category 5 E, except that it is made to a higher standard (see comparison chart below). The Category 6 standard is now officially part of the 568A standard.

Category 7
Same as Category 6, except that it is made to a higher standard (see comparison chart below). The Category 7 standard is still in the works (as of this writing) and is not yet part of the 568A standard. One major difference with category 7's construction (as compared with category 5, 5 E, and 6) is that all 4 pairs are individually shielded, and an overall shield enwraps all four pairs. Category 7 will use an entirely new connector (other than the familiar RJ-45).

me thinks better quality cable does help to some extent

[Alphas]

Did you run BT on the back ground and FPS game at once. FPS not war craft, such as Quake, Counterstrike, how is the latency

[liangtam]

Cat5e is good enough and is widely available.
I think if you run like this, it will be your PC that is choked and lagging instead of the router.

Nah i using Pacnet 512k la.
52k/b fast or not.Not very good leh cos i using 512k should be getting more den 100k mah right.

[fridayfool]

upz for a good product :)

[liangtam]

512 divide by 8 = 64kbyte max. Rasonably good speed of 52kbyte.

[myitlab]

Yes, it is expensive. But if in Malaysia it was abit more expensive. If you under budget try the DGL-4100, similiar unit but without wireless.

feel like getting this router to priortise surfing web over other protocols.

any other places that sells this other than mediapro? cos the price list only captures mediapro price.

[sigh]

But media pro prices is the best of the lot leh.

[PornStar]

This may be a stupid question but here goes...

How do I know that I am optimising the use of this router in terms of its settings?

The manual doesn't seem to state much except for the setup and no info on the various options and settings within the control panel.

I hope you will start to behave this time eddie00.

Anyway, it cost more than 150.

this is a router by itself isit? so if using dsl must link to modem rite? would the modem affect the speed?

This DGL-4300 is not bad, but not as powerful as embedded Linux Gateways... was using one with a Pentium 3 1GHz CPU and 512MB SDRAM....

lets u connect to alot more peers withought crashing

[padixiong]

any modem to go with this great router ?

[Lucidz]

upupupupup, i also wanna know which adsl modem works great with this awessome router. Anyone?

[padixiong]

ya .. upup :D

[padixiong]

upupupu :(:(

[bigfoot]

dunno why my connection still crash leh... i set max dl at 5000 and each torrent at 1000... is it too much for this router???

[Teaken]

the router alone cost 200++ or router plus wifi notebook card at 200++?? :)

[PaLmEr]

i bought it but it seem WRT54G works better than it. my WRT54G can make 1000 connections without crashing but for this DGL-4300, the max it can go is 500. Anybody know why this is so? Is there something i forgot to turn on or some settings i miss out?

[Arucard]

Can this router support my Linksys WMP54G wireless card??
Thanks!

Pls......you sure or not? So many ppl no prob for their Dlink except yours? WRT54G? The chipset can't even compare with the one the Dlink have. 500? My max is close to 4000+ connections without crash. Pls, the WRT54G to compare with this Dlink router is a joke! not even the same class!

i am asking for solution. i know dgl-4300 better but i can't get it to work better. so, if u dun mind, can help me instead of ridicule me?

[misato]

read the manual? I'm very sure you mis-configured it.

[n0d3]

i am asking for solution. i know dgl-4300 better but i can't get it to work better. so, if u dun mind, can help me instead of ridicule me?

How sure are you that it can't handle the connections? Does it crash or something? The DGL-4300 is wayyy better than the WRT54G. And like misato said, its probably some configuration problem on your part.

[chaicka]

Which firmware version is it operating on? Upgrade to the latest v1.6 firmware if it's not already operating on this firmware version.

[Yellowfin]

How to you turn off this router?

I can't seem to find the on/off switch.

[commach]

I'm afraid there isn't any on/off switch on Dlink's SOHO routers, you can only switch off the router via the A/C power socket.

read the manual? I'm very sure you mis-configured it.

yes, i read the manual and everything seem ok leh...

[bigfoot]

Which firmware version is it operating on? Upgrade to the latest v1.6 firmware if it's not already operating on this firmware version.
originally it was on version 1.3, so i update it to 1.6... i tot that shd solve the problem... but it still persist... did i miss out on anything important? so sorry for the late reply to all the help... been busy working the whole week....

can this router be used for the current adsl2+ by singnet?
what is the maximum Mbps this router can support?
currently using a 1.5mbps and planning to get this modem,but have to make sure when i subscribe for 10mbps or 30mbps or possible higher speed plans in the future,this modem can handle the load

4300 is not an ADSL modem...it's juz a router with switch + wireless, but does not contain an ADSL chip. You still need an ADSL CPE to connect to the 4300 WAN port.

This 4300 has a very good WAN-to-LAN throughput... ;)

[pker88]

btw if u buy this for just using ethernet connections wont is be bettre then those normal router?

and if i get this Dlink gamer router
do i need to get new ethernet pci card?
giga type?
in order to enjoy it better i am on MOL now

oops a typo error
in layman terms....so with my current 1.5mbps,the router is compatible
when i switch to adsl2+ from singnet,the router is also compatible with their networking tech,just that all i have to do is switch my adsl modems to the compatible adsl2+ right?

Yup...basically so...this router's WAN-to-LAN throughput is sufficient to support any near-future high-speed broadband...even 80mbps (in terms of speed, actual connection need to see how the termination of the service at consumer end is done) oso no problem.

[chaicka]

Siemens/Efficient SpeedStream (must be able to set to full-bridge mode), Thomson/Alcatel SpeedTouch, and 2Wire HomePortal are three good brands and model series of ADSL CPEs.

SpeedStream uses TI chipset, which is good for ADSL but seems not so good for ADSL2+ due to compatibility issue with the chipset on ADSL2+ DSLAMs.

SpeedTouch uses a mix of chipsets, depending on the model. Newer models use Broadcom chipsets which is good for both ADSL and ADSL2+.

HomePortal uses its own 2Wire chipset and it's so far, good for both ADSL and ADSL2+.

*Both 2Wire and Siemens practise closed-door support business model, which means, firmwares are not available to the public. Furthermore, firmwares are so tightly controlled that even searching the net, it's hard to ever find one.

*Thomson practise similar business model, but firmwares are easily available to the public as well as good documentations (User Manual, Installation Manual, CLI Manual). Due to this, it makes their product the best choice among the three, as consumers will have full control of the device they own - upgrade of firmware, highly customizing the configuration, CLI support allows very high configurability compared to those GUI-only devices which restrict what can be configured.

[bangky]

ummm.. just wondering, is packets per second a good way to rate the efficiency of a router? and if so, roughly how many packets per second is the DGL 4300 capable of?

wow very very clear n great reviews in guide thanks Chaicka san. Thank u. Was tinking should i get my DGL-4300 tml or should i wait for my SNBB to be installed tis friday. den try out e snbb modem le. den c hoW? any advice?

[caltex88]

nid help leh....or any reference website

i do not know how to configure details like:

just got the router. How do I configure the gamefuel engine? I playing game like WOW

[pker88]

btw if get this router wil i need to get a gigabit adaptor for pc and a new ethenet wire?

[richneo]

btw if get this router wil i need to get a gigabit adaptor for pc and a new ethenet wire?
the enclosed ethernet cable should work for gigabit

if u u gigabit lan speed den u can get gigabit lan card

[pker88]

thx for the tips :D
i like your review :D
btw if i get this gaming router and i just use it for ethrent connections wil its helps more or improves from my existing old linksys router with wifi 11B
but i dont use my wifi too even i got a wifi router but its a options for me if i wants to

btw can this Dlink gaming router have a hardware bution for u to ON its wifi when u like it?
or u need to set it ON or off from the PC?

there are no off switch for the wifi nid to access its webgui

it sure handles more connection as compared to ur old router

[Montoya]

just got the router. How do I configure the gamefuel engine? I playing game like WOW

gamefuel if the 'auto classification' tab is on you won't need to do anything

[pker88]

btw is it hard to config?
i heard about the gamefuel how is it hard to config?

[MichaelTan]

gamefuel if the 'auto classification' tab is on you won't need to do anything
If you put at `auto classification' there are times which Gamefuel on the 4300 interferes with some kinds of encrypted bit-torrent traffic.

Update: damnit! Anything more than a thousand connections on uTorrent, and the upload goes to hell. I'm using MOL 6500 6500/384!

I'm going to see how the 9K connection WBR14T-G fares.

[shadowandy]

Firmware Version 1.7 is available @ support.dlink.com. Anybody using it?

[shadowandy]

Some chats about v1.7 @ dslreports (http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17232538)

you know.. sometimes.. the router might not be at fault. The CPE aka modem might not be able to handle the load generated, especially if its an old model.

Gamefuel is not free. it eats memory and cpu resources of the router itself. Last i heard, the impact of gamefuel can cut effective wan-lan speed to 5-6mbps.

[misato]

bump.. anyone care to shed some light on this?.. :s11:
while packet can varies in size.. the amount of routed packet is still a very good indicator of performance.

link to firmware

http://support.dlink.com/products/view.asp?productid=DGL%2D4300

having exams cant test the new firmware until later dec

[richneo]

issit ADSL? D-Link Gaming Router
its a router not a modem.

u can use adsl modem or cable modem with it

[liangtam]

Hmm, gonna test the MD5 and SHA1 hash of the file that I've gotton from D-Link support earlier. No time test yet - so no comments on the DNS bug
EDIT: Different file.

[chaicka]

Finally, after so many months, a new firmware is available...wonder all the bugs in 1.6 is resolved in 1.7 or not.

I hate the WPA key input...it does not support hex input key...which I have been using but this 4300 simply don't accept.

[Montoya]

dlink SG havent update their site yet leh
the firmware frm the US site can use?

[richneo]

[Montoya]

juz tried the 1.7 firmware.

not much noticable changes. saw some new options under the 'firewall' option. a note to those updating it, remember to reset to factory settings for the firmware to work properly.

[foxxkat]

it says ur pc must be wired to the router.. i wonder if ne1 has updated using wireless and whether it works?
quite troublesome for me to get it wired to pc..

[liangtam]

Can flash by wireless. But must be 100% sure that the connection is stable and having good connection to router without nearby interference.

[DarthGW]

just flashed to 1.7
had a slight scare because halfway through uploading the firmware,it returned me a page error,and bricking the router
had to do a hard reset and power cycle to get it up again and flash :s22:

[Scuderia]

This firmware seems to have problem when wireless is set to Atheros Super G without Turbo mode. Was having problem connecting to it with my Atheros card. Set Super G to disabled and every thing works fine.

[chaicka]

Can flash by wireless. But must be 100% sure that the connection is stable and having good connection to router without nearby interference.

It is NEVER recommended by any wireless manufacturers to flash via wireless.
READ the manuals...almost 99.9% of the manuals will indicate "Flash via Wired Connection". :s7:

[liangtam]

Ya, thats why I wrote 100%.
Flashing can be disrupted by circuit leakage trip or power outage, so there is still a risk when flashing :)

[Montoya]

anyway if u guys intend to run .11B & .11G devices together don't update to this firmware. apparently there are some issues with it.

the router would keep on rebooting itself when the .11B device tries to connect to the router. Back to 1.6 now.

kinda sad when an older firmware is more stable than a new one

[azarel]

yah v1.7 is really buggy for me... keep dropping internet connection... reverted back to v1.6...

[richneo]

maybe thats why dlink singapore din release it on their website

[Montoya]

or is it that our hardware revision different frm those US sets?? cuz our problems don't seem to be seen in those threads in dslreports

[liangtam]

DGL4300 only got one revision, See http://tsd.dlink.com.tw/Download.asp
So far, the TW support site is always first updated, except this time. Likely the firmware is just an extension or just another phase of bug fixing lor

sitex coming up in few weeks time.

price should be below $200 like the previous show 3months ago

[leonaheidern]

er actually its a need to buy cause need to use. Intend to go SLS later. I suggested using wired connection on my Linksys BEFS41 Spare router but my mum said no. My dad's laptop needs it.

[_FaVo_]

WAh...
How much does it cost...

Btw...
using singnet 1500Kbps can right???

[leonaheidern]

from what I see on mediapro's price guide http://www.mediapro.com.sg/PriceGuide.pdf it seems to be a bundle price of 250 with either

a) wireless pcmia - 245
b) wireless pci - 250
c) wireless usb - 250

[leonaheidern]

er i think according to dlink's website both dsl and cable can haha. I've never ventured out of linksys products before though since I'm using Cable all the way. http://www.dlink.com.sg/products/resource.asp?pid=355&rid=1140

bro to support mol12mbps i think u nid to change ur modem.

sb3100 cannot support beyond 10mbpscos its interface is oni 10mbps half duplex

[leonaheidern]

yep that will be later haha. But actually I'm sticking with the cheapest MOL6000 plan. After all the way starhub keep increasing speed its more worth it to stick with mol6000. I'm just planning in the future when they eventually do upgrade to more than 10MPBS.

Besides Stupid SCV make me pay 8 dollars every mth last time to buy over the SB3100. I intend to use it until it ke chiang.

My router happen to ke chiang so decide to get a good one first to use many yrs.

Er btw I'm not a bro rather I'm a sis

erm sorry to confuse you but actually I'm on MOL 4000 now. haha for me the linksys wrt54gs ver 1.0 router cannot even handle the full speed of MOL4000 in tems of p2p connection.

[leonaheidern]

I just bought at $199 at Skylet computer#04-54 1 week ago

ahaha good to know its still under 200 bucks. And skylet got discount for DM card even better. Thanks for letting me know.

this router is very impressive indeed... really very little dropped connections as compared to my linksys one

Unless your router is faulty(which is unlikely), this router itself does not really cause speed slow down, unless you junk some ten thousands of TCP connection for P2P, of which Cisco low end model will also crumble.

If speed is still slow, you should hook it direct to the modem and try if it does get better. If not, then the very obvious thing is, the ISP is throttling you or modem is faulty! Which ISP anyway?

i have not upgraded to 1.7 yet. I read the information on 1.7. It did not mention anything any DNS. DNS problem supposedly address in the 1.6 firmware.

[liangtam]

Try hook direct to modem first. If its SB5101 and above, gd luck.

I am interested in cpuer input, the DNS bug lies at router side, if you manually input a static entry at your PC side, the problem won't arrise.

[cpuer]

HAHA, i never tried a fixed ip approach, as i was so perplexed by this problem. Why just this desktop? and not my nb? Anyway, it has been 3 days ever since i re flashed it to 1.7, still able to get into the net without any more reboot at the router. :)

as I said, BT is dependent on too many things, one getting good speed, may not mean you will be getting good speed. you may not be downlaoding the same file, not the same seed, not same location, not same source, network congestion timing.

oh, no, no part of it is offending, just that you should know the basics of BT before even implying that the router is causing slow speed for your BT.

I did research before and there are supposed to be 2 downloads which are well seeded. However, I still got sucky speed, the only reason I can think of is the bandwidth throttling imposed on my modem for BT traffics.

Geez.. since when did I said it's the router fault? I'm hoping that the thread starter can give me an insight since our hardware setup is almost identical. Less the BT client and settings of course.

Phil

and seriously, this thread is about the router, not about BT settings or why BT is slow... so, either way... its not that appropriate.

And please do not get so worked up easily.

er ok I bought this router. now to test it on some http and some torrent files. Dunno if its my imagination but the http download speed for this driver Bluetooth dongle BT700SI http://www.bluetake.com/code/driver/driver.asp


is very slow leh max 70kBps. haiz dunno how to config also cause no more QOS.


Hee hee Skylet guy sold it to me at 190 cause we also bough imation 512mb flash drive from him(from 30 becomes 25). Using the DM card for once in my long membership with HWZ.

I did research before and there are supposed to be 2 downloads which are well seeded. However, I still got sucky speed, the only reason I can think of is the bandwidth throttling imposed on my modem for BT traffics.

Phil


Might be due to settings too. I only opened 80 connections per torrent, 96 connection globally as I only download 1 torrent at a time. No prob hitting ~120 on my 1500 dsl line, when times are good, can max out at 190++.

Anybody using the v1.7 and have no problem accessing advanced network? I couldn't enter it without encountering dialog prompt saying that not all stuffs are loaded and the page will reload and it keeps going on and on.

[ginseng1]

Does using a wireless 108mbps router for file transfer defeats the purpose of having a 10/100/1000 ethernet port?

Am I right to say that for gigabit port, need to use a gigabit switch to fully achieve its potential?

[TanKianW]

No prob with 1.6. So not changing it.

[Montoya]

1.7 so problematic still got ppl go & flash... :s22:

Might be problematic for some people. But I don't face problem with wireless or sort. At most router mati and $80 down the drain nia lor. :/.

Advance Network is not avail in 1.6, but the settings I see here can be found inside the router's other pages.

Yeap. they reorganized some stuffs. Wonder if it is a bug or a "feature" of this firmware. lolx But then I don't require any settings on this page, just find it a nuisance that it keeps prompting dialog.
