Amazon.com Product Description
The D-Link DI-711 is a broadband IEEE 802.11b-compliant wireless gateway. The DI-711 provides two or more computers with the ability to share a DSL or cable modem through either its single local Ethernet port or its integrated wireless IEEE 802.11b component. The DI-711's integrated router and firewall provide NAT, DHCP, and packet-filtering services between the local network and the Internet.p D-Link's DI-711 allows several computers on a wireless LAN to share a single Internet connection while it provides the safety and security of port blocking, packet filtering, and a natural firewall. Static address support, integrated DHCP, PPPoE, and device name support will allow it to connect to nearly any broadband provider, whether Ethernet cable or DSL-based, while simplifying settings for the local area network.p The DI-711 provides two levels of security support. First, it masks local users' IP addresses from others on the Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. Second, the DI-711 blocks outgoing ports unless required by applications specified in Virtual Server settings.p The DI-711 provides special pass-through support for common VPN implementations, including PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol), and IPSec*. The Virtual Server feature allows the user to expose HTTP, FTP, game servers, and other local services to Internet users located outside of the LAN. A DMZ setting can be applied to a single client behind the DI-711 to expose it to the Internet and ensure complete Internet application compatibility even if specific ports are not known.p Unlike a proxy server or NAT software that requires the software server to remain visible on the Internet, no local computers are externally visible when using the DI-711. Also the DI-711, like broadband, is always on, removing the need to constantly boot a software server when access is desired from a client.p The integrated DHCP feature allows up to 252 users to get their IP addresses automatically each time a computer boots up the DI-711. With this feature, computers do not require additional software when connected to receive an IP address and instantly connect to the local network.p * The router passes PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec packets. VPN compatibility is dependent on the platform used.p

 good one December 31, 2007
I bought it a month ago, But Idont have time to use it! It should be good!
Works fine May 27, 2003
Using it with Comcast cable modem and two computers about 500 feet and 1 floor apart. Works quite reliably, it auto detects the IP and does eveything transparently. My only gripe is D-Link's support seems to be run by underqualified technicians that just give you the run around. Good thing it works fine already, so it's not much of an issue to me.
 P.I.T.A to get working, Poor Tech Support December 2, 2002
It took me 3+ days to get this thing to work with my notebook. Cannot get it to work with my desktop. Tech support was no help at all. They just had me retrying things I already did. If your not a networking wizard do not buy this router. Newer models don't need the manual setup of this one.
 Never again D-Link November 13, 2002

I purchased this over a year ago. After constant frustration with lock-ups and reboots, I went and bought the MS access point (which worked flawlessly right out of the box) and threw this one to the IT guys at work. They couldn't get it to work for more than 15 minutes at a stretch either. Then I found a posting about a firmware upgrade on dslreports.com. It was produced, presumably, by the OEM (Gemtek) for the device (see their website). I flashed and it works now, its been up for three days! Shame on D-Link for not providing working firmware; I can't begin to calculate all of the time I wasted with that thing thinking it was something with my network. Though it appears to finally be working, I will never do business with D-Link again.
Bad choice September 8, 2002

worked more or less ok, with one major drawback: built-in firewall which could not be deactivated did too much protecting me, filling up intruder list with packets sent and received by ICQ. After some number of such packets device locks up, and you have to reboot it manually. This is not a BUG, this is a FEATURE, it is even in the manual - they say it's for our protection.brDo not buy it.
