Thinking of buying
« on: August 01, 2009, 04:03:42 PM »
So im thinking of buying a DGL-4500 router upgrading from my Dir-655 but I want to know if it is worth it?? Does the DGL-4500 have the problem fixed where it resets itself when theres too much load and all that?? Are there ways to fix it so it doesnt do that?? I want to know before I buy one!

DO NOT buy a DGL-4500.  Too many problems with the firmware and hardware will make you wish you had purchased something else.  You're much better off with your current router or buying a DIR-855.

I second that, especially for its price, not worth the problems.

Yeah - This router used to be fantastic, but if It's got 1.20NA or higher, yer out of luck.... and your cash.. I'd hold off on upgrading until they fix this fiasco...

I agree with all the above posts. It is not worth the aggravation. If in doubt, read all the posts in this forum and make up you own mind. That way you will only have yourself to blame if you buy one.
I wish I had done more research before getting mine.

keeping this thread alive in support of the D-Link DGL-4500 is a nothing but a piece of crap.. Not to mention D-Link support is none existent.  It truly amazes me how a company can stay afloat with such lame customer support as D-Link.  With all the problems surrounding the issues the DGL-4500 has you'd think there would be a bunch of threads with tech support piping in with help. Nope.. Or even better a recall or discontinuation of this none functioning router.

Very disappointed.  >:(

Wow three is no issues with this router at all, I have not yet stumble upon a issue with it. Everything is running perfect in my end and many users will agree with me. There is no need to be aggressive. Like FurryNutz stated above me, post your issues and we will try our best to resolve those issues or help you out with them. Remember that's what forums are for so us users can assist each other. Have a great day.
