Buy from US lor since that time same price as DIR655.
Picture different cos older model I guess.
But US only 2 years warranty. Good to buy D-Link products back home as most of them are lifetime warranty. (Stupid switch is 1 year iirc)

[aaur4man]

well much cheaper ma.

[orbvius]

I don't think the price difference will be that much. DIR855 is selling at the same price.
US hardware in stores are kind of expensive and hard to find. Gotta say I'm kind of lucky.

Best is buy online if you are in US.

[liangtam]

buy sho earli.. no local wrty.
unmanaged switch lifetime

[orbvius]

Give and take lor.
If not will be using 655 now. :o

[tidus792]

uhh I'm not advertising for dlink, it's just that I'm sure a lot of people were thinking of upgrading from 655 and were put off by 855 price, thus PA for 825

[Citiguy]

Any new modem + wireless router combo from D-Link?

[aaur4man]

Dsl - 2740b

[liangtam]

Actually, 685 more fun. LCD screen to display pikature, slot hdd and ralink chipset :D

Probably can see it running DD-WRT. :o

At the current point in this, there are actually quite a number of products from few brands with the GPLv2 paper thrown inside the packaging. You need ppl to port it over oso ah..

Tho, going with default f/w is definitely less troubles depending on 3rd party source :)

Finally a worthy alternative to the Airport Extreme! Wait for the price first. :D

wrt-610n

not many people buying.. so i dun penalise u for not knowing this model although it has been selling for quite a while

[defn]

Oops. Huge oversight on my part. Paiseh. Actually I've been looking at this model for quite a while, but no where on the box did it say simultaneous. :d

[defn]

I take back my paiseh. Lousy reviews and still higher price than the Airport Extreme? I would hardly consider that better.

Hopefully the DIR-825's price will be in the sub 200s. :D

[aaur4man]

why set airport extreme as benchmark?

It's $238, has simultaneous dual band and a USB 2.0 port which can be used as a print server. Not to mention the extra features like guest networking etc.

However, I have not gotten it yet because installing a drive on the USB port requires Apple Bonjour to be installed on non macs and you know you get this idea that you're paying Apple Tax for it (you can already see the stigma against it in this thread, Apple products = overpriced and useless for some people). But so far got no better cheaper alternatives leh. Surprisingly.

Anyway, besides being unable to be used as a print server, the USB port on the WRT610N is only a USB1 port, max throughput 4mbps. Betcha didn't know that huh?

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRT610N
The WRT610N is the current top-of-the-line consumer device from Linksys with the following features:
Dual-radio (two BCM4322) allows to operate 2.4 Ghz B/G/N and 5 Ghz A/N simultaneously
4+1 port Gigabit switch (BCM53115)
300 Mhz CPU (BCM4785)
USB 2.0 host port
64 MByte RAM, 8 MByte Flash
Nowadays where got ppl even wan implement USB1.1? ...
/facepalm

Well, the article is relevant for earlier dual-band offerings, so i took both the reviews out lor.

Anyway, paying for the fanciful OLED on 855 is still better, esp price has been going low in garage sales

[goodspeeds]

So when is this new router coming into market to sell?

[robinloh4]

can i use these routers instead of the 2wire issued by singnet?

[tidus792]

Yes and no.
Your 2wire has 2 functions, first as a modem to connect to the internet, second as a router to share that internet connection with all the computers.

You still need to use the 2wire as a modem to connect to the internet.

However you can use these routers to perform the routing function. There will be faster transfer speeds between computers, not to the Internet.

[liangtam]

855 is the top of line mah
With the exception of DIR-685 hidden ability.

[abyang]

So which one is better to get 685, 825 or 855? :crazy:

[liangtam]

Of cos is 685 la
But that is if you're willing to open up the wallet of yours.

[richneo]

One thing to note too. Buy dir-685 may need to buy another hard disk. Else the nas feature you cannot utilise.

DIR-685 For the Win!

but is single band.

[abyang]

I won't be needing a storage router. Was thinking of 825 or 855.
Other than price consideration. Anyone can advise pros and cons?

i need a nas+router, the last nas i bought tmd kaput and i lose a huge amount of data

[HeeroYuy84]

how i wish the 825 is adsl2 integrated, so customer has a choice of wan port or adsl. kind of stupid now to router -> router before accessing internet

[liangtam]

if it comes integrated, alot ppl wouldn't want to buy.
just get it separated

PS: Theres 2740B from dlink, belkin n1 integrated, aztech dsl 605/1015 etc available

[chercm]

Dlink 825 is excellent and it is very fast

Dlink 825 is excellent and it is very fast
wad is the diff between dlink 825 and dlink 855?

[Revenent]

I feel the dlink DIR-825 range and speed is decent in the 2.4Ghz but on the 5Ghz range and signal is really crappy. I only get less then 80% signal whilst standing next to the router. In addition it disconnects intermittently. I think the dual band functionality thing is overrated. Buyer beware.

i do like the dual radio functions for all routers

for example in my case, im using wndr3700 from netgear

my brother is using wireless g laptop connected in the 2.4ghz and i suffer performance hit on the 2.4ghz spectrum

my laptop is using intel 4965abgn and i switched to using 5ghz mode while my brother remains on 2.4, im able to get 300mbps connection and throughput of about 100mbps
