Just ordered One:) So what would the best settings be for Mostly wired connections? usually I use default for stuff like that 

[Hard Harry]

First need to know a little about your network.

1. ISP
2. Modem
3. Wireless devices; how many, what radio type (G or N).
4. Enviroment. City, country, Suburb
5. Other things you do. Gaming, Torent, LAN streaming, servers?

Its good that your willing to put the extra effort in. 1 hour of work when you get your the router will save you 10 hours of headache later.

Put that Gb network switch to work too.

Well usually I do a thorough setup on routers but I noticed dlink usually has a lot of ssettings I haven' t don't a through setup since ddwrt. 

 isp is cable 25megs down and 2megs up
Sb6121 modem

Il have about 4 or 5 devices using this ones WiFi which 2 will be 5ghz which would be phones and the other 2 are laptops which use most of the bandwidth in the house sometimes 1 of the laptops is mine but most of the time it's hardwired for gigabit.

For the network there is a total of about 25 devices the other 5 wireless devices connect to an access point which is a different said but is a complete pass thru so no double stuff.

 live in the  middle of nowhere lol so only wireless networks are mine. For my main router I usually choose channel 1 and channel 11 for the access point 2 story house never had an router reach. Downsstairs and work 100%.

Also my laptop server and media pc connected to the tv does almost 24\7 of media streaming from my server so lots of local traffic. Yes there is gaming and torrenting as well.

I wish:(  won't be here til Tuesday. I wwish it would come Monday when I'm back home. Long wait   I would just be bleh and buy it retail but nobstores around have it.

[FurryNutz]

Ya it's hard to find local stores that carry DLink, mostly other Mfr brands or limited Dlink items.

[hyelton]

Yea sstaples here only hhas the 655 for like 80 which is a rip off. They have a ton of netgear which I never cared for. This will bbe hhopefully my first dlink product I keep. Thisbwill only be my 2nd one though.

[FurryNutz]

Ya $80 is a bit much for that router. $50 new is better. Specially when you can find them cheaper used or at other sites.

I got my 826L for $75 and it does more than the 655 does. 

[hyelton]

I would had paid more shipping but it would had been 20$ to get it monday

[FurryNutz]

Where did you get it from?

You'll just have to be patient sir. 

[hyelton]
