 Worst router I've ever had December 17, 2008
I bought this after my LinkSys wireless Vonage router failed to survive a move. It has been problematic from day one. The wireless signal strength is weak; the wifi connection speed is slow, often gets dropped, and has trouble reconnecting. And now, less than 6 months after buying it, it's started to periodically lose all connectivity (wired, wireless, even phone) every few hours. The only solution I've found for this is to briefly unplug and re-plug the thing, which solves the problem for a while -- although 20% of the time I do this, it completely loses all the settings I'd programmed it with, forcing me to change the admin password, SSID, and wifi password over and over again. It's irritating to no end.br /br /You're better off finding something else (or, more likely, a pair of something elses -- VOIP router and WIFI router).
aviod this router October 23, 2008
unfortunately the very purpose of a wireless router is not served . none of the laptops recognise the router . the coustomer care is so great that it does not have a solution to fix this and they blame it onyour laptop or ISP . Dont buy this esp if u are using windows vita
Dont waste your money August 19, 2008
I like Vonage and I like D-Link, but somehow together they dropped the ball on this one. See the above review on the router's problem with keeping its security settings. I have the same problem. Every time it loses power you have to manually reset your security settings and passowrd. And you have to try fiveor six times before it will "take". I called Vonage, their great suggestion was I should buy a new router. They offered to send me a new non-wireless VOIP device..they won't support this router. D-Link? They refer you to Vonage..they don't even HAVE a firmware update which might fix the problem. My advice, stay away from this dog.

My issue is that this router loses it's security settings every time it's rebooted. This happens a lot in my area because we have power outages a lot, so it powers back up, doesn't reload the security settings, and thus leaves a security hole in my home network. Kind of a bad design in my opinion. Doing a manual reset to the correct security settings is certainly possible, but seems to be finicky (it requires a login to a web-based utility) and usually takes me a few tries to get it working correctly. Drives my wife and I crazy.br /br /Instead of an integrated wireless/VoIP solution, I'll spend about the same money and get a better standalone wireless router and a better standalone VoIP adapter. This one isn't worth your money.

Im a UK vonage customer have just received this d-link VWR as an upgrade since i was having troubles with my old linksys router.br /br /This d-link fixed the problems I had with the linksys but introduced tonnes more!br /br /Major set-backs ive found so far: br /br /1)Awful web admin interface. Get anything wrong no error messages are displayed and all the details entered disappear! Is only compatible with IE.br /br /2)Wireless A/P setup is temperamental. I've set up the WPA encryption, saved and everything's fine until a power cut, or its unplugged... all the settings in the router get cleared leaving the access point open to all with no security!! Very bad!br /br /3) The device doesn't allow wireless clients access to wired lan clients for some reason. Somehow they cant see each other in the workgroup or even ping each other using their assigned Ip's! So unless all your PC's are wireless or all hard-wired in there no chance of file sharing here!br /br /My advise... steer clear of this one! Get a decent router, and buy the simple vonage telephone adapter (d-link VTA) instead.
