			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier this year when <a href="http://dlink.com" title="D-Link Website" target="_blank">D-Link</a> came out with <a href="http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=1&amp;pid=530" title="Xtreme N Gigabit Router" target="_blank">The D-Link Xtreme N™ Gigabit Router (DIR-655) </a>I snapped one up and paid the 165$ premium to get it. It worked great with the matching PC card if there were no walls between them. I have not been able to get the security to work, not even the WEP! I tried with my PC [when I had one] and it didn&#8217;t work. I tried with my new MacBook and iMac. No way!</p>
<p>I was surprised that it didn&#8217;t work. Security is all the rage, especially for wireless. I have not seen any updates for this device and I am sure it <u>must be</u> user error &#8211; although I still can&#8217;t figure out what is wrong. It looks great and in the open it was fast. I didn&#8217;t have any connection problems in the open either.</p>
<p>The interface is quite complicated, definitely not for the standard home user. I prefer a much simpler configuration utility, this seemed more like IT Guy playing at home than Average Joe. There are two wizards to assist you with configuring the Network and Wireless settings. They were okay, but still no security. I finally gave up on it. We live in a rural area and would see anyone War Driving because they would have to pull down the driveway to get close enough.</p>
<p>It is getting all sorts of positive reviews from different organizations and companies. Personally &#8211; Junk. I like my new Wireless router a whole lot more, my little sister could probably configure it.</p>
