It offers practically everything most enthusiast users would need except hardware VPN. I'm accustomed to using open sourced firmware (DD-WRT, Tomato, etc) for their reliability and flexibility.I was pleased to find out upon use, how powerful D-Link's firmware is for this product.
It's an excellent buy if you just want a router with out wireless built in. This router has made my internet more stable and and faster over all.
That's when I decided to upgrade to this, running wireless with a D-Link Air Premier N Dual Band connected to it. This thing is nice. Havn't tried the gamefuel yet, but so far my network is running pretty nice; even when dling at 2mbs, while playing online games. Zero drops, zero power-cycling. I was running xxxx brand router with integrated wireless and it would just crap out. It was good, especially for the money but couldn't handle the load.
This router pairs well with my D-Link 8 port gigabit switch. Purchased this router to replace aging linksys router that could apparently only achieve a throughput of 7-8 Mb and with my 20 Mb service I was losing about 12 Mb of throughput.
Hooking up the router to my PC and XBOX was easy and so far I haven't had any problems.
