D-Link DIR-605L Cloud Router review: Strong monitoring capabilities but indifferent performance

Posted May 6, 2012 - 7:19 am

As Wi-Fi routers go, the D-Link Cloud Router (DIR-605L) isn't a top performer--it has the basic 2x2 antenna array required for 802.11n certification, and its LAN ports support only 10/100 (not gigabit) ethernet. But it boasts some easy-to-use remote-access features that should appeal to small businesses and consumers who want to keep close tabs on network activity without spending a lot of money.

Vista OOBE Part 3: Networking Problem with Some Routers

Posted December 17, 2008 - 2:07 pm

Now that my sound function works, and I vented about the User Access Control, let's get to a serious problem: networking. If you've never heard the phrase â€œDHCP Broadcast Flagâ€ before, you're in good company. DCHP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) is the rock-solid protocol that assigns IP addresses to devices as they connect to the network. I say rock-solid, but that's before Microsoft's bizarre configuration change turned DHPC into a source of incredible frustration. I've been fighting networks for over two decades and never, ever had to worry about DHCP before, but that was before Microsoft's incompetence with Vista.
