- Great for sharing connections on a fast network!
I'm a programmer and have used networking equipment in my home for years. This product is super simple to use; you just plug in your broadband into the "WAN" socket (standard Ethernet connection from a CAT-5).A WAN indicator light will tell you when your internet connection is working. Then you can plug up to four other items into it.
My use for it was to split my internet to my TiVo and to my wireless port. But when I was working from home, or using my laptop to watch internet videos, ... Read More

- Not bad but I can not recommend it.
I owned this item before. It used to work correctly and at some point started crashing every day. When I recover it the next day it will crash again. Eventually it stopped working one day and ended up in the dumpster. That prompted me to move to the DI-704UP. I don't recommend it.

- Revision A = Reliable, Revision C = Awful
I'm on my third D-Link 704P. Why did I come back for a third beating? Great question! The first 704P I had -- revision A (brown case) -- was incredibly reliable, was one of the very few routers with a parellel port print server, and had much higher than average throughput. It lasted me 4 years of solid use. So when it died, I had no problems replacing it with another 704P, this time revision C (silver case). After 1 month of use, it stopped working. Assuming I had a lemon, I replaced the replacement. ... Read More
Rating: - Great router when it is working
There are at least three versions of this router with the print server.Mine is DI-704P revision B
This is a great print server "when" it is working.Unfortunately, it gets hot and unexpectantly quits working.I live in Calgary, Alberta and the temperature has been bitterly cold during the last two weeks.I keep the house temperature around 65 deg F in the winter and the router is well ventilated.
To get it working again, I have to unplug it and let it cool down.Then I have ... Read More
Rating: - Won't Keep Working
I've had this router for about a year now. I remember it being difficult to configure, but for the most part it has worked okay until recently.
Now the router stops working constantly.I have to reboot it by unplugging it, waiting, and plugging it back in.Once I go through this routine, it's good for another few hours of use.
Obviously this is unacceptable.I'm looking for a replacement but its hard to find something with the a print server, which I really need.
