D-Link DGL-4500 Xtreme N Gaming Router
Gamers like three things in their devices: functionality, speed, and bling. The D-Link DGL-4500 Xtreme N Gaming Router has all three. This excellently assembled and configured wireless networking unit offers the configurability a power user would ...
Admin panel is impressive for a consumer-level router ; LCD on top is slick ; Gigabit Ethernet excellent for power users with multiple computers
Price: $120-$150 is EXPENSIVE for a router ; LCD on top has limited usefulness in reality (it's bling!) ; Ubicom processor and Atheros wireless chipset eliminate alternative firmware options
I think I would like the LCD on the D-Link DGL-4500 better if it cycled through pages. This would make it more likely to catch the eye of a passerby. That said, if you're considering the DGL-4500 based on the LCD, save your money and look for ...

D-Link DGL-4500 Xtreme N Gaming Router
Looking for a dual-band router so you can run two independent Wi-Fi networks, using one frequency band for data and the second for streaming media? Scratch the DGL-4500 off your list, because D-Link’s definition of “dual-band†means operating on ...
Excellent range, useful gaming-oriented QoS settings, informative display
Not a true dual-band router, display automatically shuts off
The DGL-4500 is also much easier to configure for use with Windows Home Server. While we had to manually configure port forwarding on the WRT600N in order to enable access to our server remotely from the Internet, the configuration wizard in Microsoft ...

D-Link DGL-4500 Xtreme N Gaming Router
D-Link's DGL-4500 wireless router brings a lot to the table, including dual-band operation, 802.11n support, a killer built-in OLED screen, on top of features perfectly suited for online gamers. Of course, such a feature-packed router doesn't come ...
OLED screen, Dual Band, Fast 2.4 GHz wireless speeds, Gaming "Extras" such as Gamefuel, World in Conflict Demo
No simultaneous 2.4 and 5 GHz band support, Limited number of dual band adapters, Would be nice to have activity LEDs on the front of the router

Not what it's hyped to be
The screen is nice, good to see internet bandwidth at a glimpse. However, it would be nice to leave the screen on all the time, it turns itself off after about 30 seconds.
Nice sleek design, bright screen and good info from the status screen on the unit itself
Signal. I'm in a low saturation 2.4Ghz area. Currently using an older linksys WRT54G. My wireless devices get 80%+ signal to linksys, 30-40% signal to DLink. The units are right next to each other on different channels. Even if I reverse the channels, you...
D-Link DGL-4500 IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11a/b/g, IEEE802.11n Draft Xtreme N Gaming Router - Retail

They call this a Gaming Router?
RUN!!!!! It's a D-Link DGL-4500 trying to devour your wallet only to not do anything afterward!!!! D-Link should really recall this model until it's ready for prime time.
It looks nice. Feels like it's a quality product
This is the biggest piece of garbage. Right off the bat I was having firmware problems. It shipped with version 1.12, and I played around with 1.15 and 1.16b. None would supply a good solid wireless signal. Even though I was connected at 300Mbps, I could...
