I bought this and the D link Dap-1522 AP/Bridge to make a wireless bridge for my Playstation 3 to play it online without dropouts and disconnects that I was getting through the normal wireless G setup I have. Paid $159 for the router here and $89 for the DAP dual bridge, so was $250 into it trying to get the BEST wifi bridge $$$ could buy. I am only semi techinical, but did not expect to go through over 9 hours of nightmares with D-link tech support. I explained to 6 different techs waht I had and what I was trying to do. Alredy had a Motorola Gateway (cable modem, router, wireless G, all in 1 unit) and was now trying to make a seperate bridge for the PS3. After many 'Power cycles' and changing IP addresses, etc, 1 tech told me they couldn't continue until I get Comcast's login info from Comcast. Ridiculous I thought, as Comcast is always on, but what can you do? She hung up on me!!. I called Comcast, got the info, and also the Comcast rep said it was ridiculous, but nevertheless got the info. Called D-link support back, and was asked by the new tech rep, why did the other tech need that info? I laughed and said that was I said when she hungup! Anyway after some more power cycling and IP address changes, etc, I was then transformed from "level 1" tech support to "level 2 tech" support. Now I'm getting somewhere. This person was very knowlegeable and did walk me through setting up dual wifi routers. Great. Both routers online and everthing working so far, so we end support. Now I hookup the DAP bridge for the PS3 and try the WPS (one button easy connect), pair, or mate buttons that both units have where they are supposed to mate to wirelessly seek connect and mate to each other. Now on the 4500 game router the WPS mate or easy button won't even lite up or activate. I remember reading in another review somewhere that you had to use a certian type of security (I don't remember which) for the 'easy button' to work. OK, lets look through the manual... no info or help. Lets look up help topics... no info or help... lets lookup the web setup page...again no info or help. Darn, guess I have to call D-link again. Get level 1 tech, explain that I'm online, but cant get the WPS (their term) button to activate. She asks whats a WPS button. Ohh Nooo, tech support doesn't know what buttons or features that the items they are supporting have!!!!!!! Besides, one of the reasons I bought thes hi-end items was that they both had the WPS (easy) button.....SO, I read it to her straight from their manual, she says hold, 15 minutes later, comes back, trys power cycle, no help. Wants to change IP address's, I explain that it has taken approx 8 hours and a level 2 tech to get me this far, and I'm real hesitant about going backwardsand messing with the IP's again. She agree's and transfers me to level 2 again...yeah. However this time, I get a non knowlegeable level 2 tech, I even ask for the other tech, but am not allowed to switch. OK, this level 2 tech insists we start over from the begining, power cycle, change back all the IP's etc. NNNoOOOO!!!!, but was told by him "Do you want to get this working or not?" OK, gotta play the game. After 1 1/2 hours with this level 2 tech, we could not even get the thing back online again. Back to square one(I knew it). He decides my new router is 'Broken', closed my case and said send it back for refund. Darn. OK he hangs up. I give it a while and call D-link back again, get another level 1 tech, and ask for my original level 2 tech (who seems to be the only 1 there who knows what he's doing). She looks at my closed 'Case', 'defective router' and says that the case is closed and my only option is to send it back, D-link is not gonna talk to me anymore!!!!!!!!!!!! I will never purchase another D-link product again.
 Got what I paid for November 11, 2008
I expected a router that was above average and provided excellent wireless signal with little hassle or fuss. I got just that and am pleased with my purchase. There were some slight problems with my desktop not getting access to the internet, usually after extended amounts of game time... but a firmware update seemed to fix that.
Works great November 2, 2008
Purchased for a friend with a big house.
The coverage works pretty well except for some of the nooks on the far side of the house from the router. Still way better than the old Linksys he had.

i have an old house, and i heard this would let me allow wireless on other floors.
i get 30-50% signal within range through old 100 year old walls and floors.
not bad, but i get disconnected often and have multiple connection problems with xbox and such due to my old brick walls throughout the house.
need a stronger wifi range, thought this was enough but its just a little short of meeting my needs.
Very Fast! October 13, 2008
I never tried a Gigabit Wi-Fi router before, even I had tried several brands and models. Until I got this DGL-4500, I noticed very fast network response in both wired and wireless. The setup is very easy, you don't need to touch those advanced features until you get familiar with them. The router runs very stable and fast. Highly recommended to every power user.
