D-Link DIR-825 - Review of the D-Link DIR-825 Xtreme N Dual-Band Gigabit Router
Good simultaneous dual-band performance, Smooth media streaming and gaming, Easy to share USB storage drives and printers, Green power monitoring
Not the fastest throughput or longest range, Bland design
Considering that the DIR-825 can be had for as little as $129 online, it's quite the bargain considering all of its helpful features and top-notch HD Fuel technology. While the Linksys WRT610N ($169 street price) has a sleeker design and better range, ...

D-Link DIR-825 Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router
The D-Link DIR-825 Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router is one of the brainiest routers I've tested at PCMag.com's labs. D-Link has thrown in a USB port with 3G wireless capability, simultaneous dual 2.4-GHz- and 5-GHz-band Wi-Fi mixed mode, power-saving ...
USB port supports 3G, network access to attached printers, hard drives. Simultaneous dual-band mode. Offers extensive networking features, including powerful access scheduler and guest access provisions
Wi-Fi performance in mixed mode is below average at long distances
The D-Link DIR-825 Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router provides some remarkable capabilities and overall good performance at a very reasonable price.

D-Link - DIR-825
Many home users have made the switch from 802.11g wireless to the faster and wider-reaching 802.11n. However, speed and coverage soon go down the drain when you throw in interference from nearby wireless networks. The problem ...
It's a shame D-Link couldn't stretch to furnishing the DIR-825 with a built-in BitTorrent client, but otherwise this is a well-featured wireless router that's capable of decent speeds at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

Not recommended
They concluded that the router must be defective by simply trying every possible config at random over and over again. And when that didnt work, they tried to blame my solid-as-chromed-vanadium-steel ISP for the problem. Seriously, 10 years Ive had this I...
The router does not have an unpleasant smell. It is visually appealing if you hide it behind something. The lights are not overly bright if you cover them with black electrical tape
I have a PPPoE connection via Fiberoptic DSL(no modem). The CD wizard failed to install because it could not auto-config PPPoE properly without having a modem present. So, I tried the manual config, and still nothing. I got on the phone with Dlink tech su...
Be ready to upgrade firmware.
It works after firmware upgrade
When you get the router, you'll have to find the firmware version 2.02NA. Otherwise, your router will reset every 20 to 30 minutes. You can't use the check for update in the firmware option in the router as claims the 2.00NA version it comes with is the l...
Great Buy
I've really enjoyed it, and my devices NEVER drop off the network anymore.
Relatively easy setup. I really enjoyed this over previous companies' systems
The setup was easy, but restricted for those of us that have used D-Link in the past and are used to having an easy, and comprehensive interface for controlling the router
