5.0 out of 5 stars Great product but needed the firmware update!, May 24, 2012

Truly a remarkable product, no lag whatsoever and instant connectivity. Blazing speeds and amazing coverage, no more dead spots in my house.

However, when I first installed the router, my old 2005 Windows XP laptop could not connect to the router. After the firmware update, it connected instantaneously! WARNING: MUST DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE UPDATE FROM dlink.com! Instructions are also posted on website under the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

Other than that, a fantastic product and I would recommend it to anyone!

(Updated Review)

After what I am sure was some type of firmware or hardware failure, my replacement DIR-857 is up and running flawlessly. I'll give it five stars when the firmware is working better.

I upgraded to Firmware version 1.01 (released about 2 days before this review update) before setting up the router. The speed is incredible, but there are still some issues, which I'm sure will be addressed with future firmware updates:

1) The SD and USB port streams movies flawlessly. I wasn't able to get a USB hard drive (Western Digital) to work, but my 16 GB USB stick worked very well. I was able to access the USB stick remotely through the internet (non-LAN connection) using the Admin account. I was unsuccessful in creating another user account, so for now, the admin account must be used to log into the "YourIP:8181" port. My Windows 7 machine could not map the USB Drive or SD Card to upload any files. I had to do it a single file at a time through the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect router, May 16, 2012

This review is from: D-Link Systems HD Media Router 3000 (DIR-857) (Personal Computers)
I purchased this DIR-857 to replace a Netgear WNDR3700. The Netgear works pretty well, but suffers from wireless range issues.

My setup: Comcast business class internet, 4 wireless Foscam IP cameras (2.4ghz), a micro PC running DVR software (wired), 2 XBOXes (5ghz), a Roku (5ghz), an Apple TV 3 (5 ghz), a Synology NAS (wired), several laptops, desktops, iphones/ipads, and tablets.

My requirements: Dual band, excellent wireless range, allow simultaneous XBOX Live connection (open NAT) with 2 XBOXes, QOS prioritization for XBOX and video, allow NAT loopback for accessing my DVR LAN-side, FAST WAN/internet throughput, and rock-solid, stable performance.

The dual XBOX issue works out of the box with UPnP turned on. The virtual server setup allows NAT loopback (port forwarding does not). The WISH/QOS settings work SO much better than my previous attempts with DD-WRT (XBOXes go full-steam while my NAS is backing up to CrashPlan. I have not yet had a... Read more
