  • Works fine

    Nov 21 '00
    Pros: Inexpensive, works well
    Cons: Shuts down occasionally as a security measure

    Summary: I purchased this unit so I could easily share my @Home cable connection among the 4 machines in my home without using proxy/gateway software or a linux box. Aside from one glitch that pops up now and then (see bottom) I am extremely satisfied with this ... read more

    May 10 '01
    Pros: cool looking case, firewall, from d-link
    Cons: no extra ports, RS-232 admin

  • Safety for your DSL or Cable Modem Setup

    Jan 07 '01
    Pros: Easy to set up. Better protection than software firewalls
    Cons: Need a hub for more than 1 computer, error in manual (should be fixed by now)

    Summary: Having recently subscribed to DSL service at home, I needed a way to protect my computer from unwanted prying eyes and malicious hackers. Since DSL (and Cable Modems) are "always on", home users like me are prime targets for hacker attacks. ... read more

  • Ridiculous as Firewall; No PPTP

    Dec 29 '00
    Pros: Cheap, DHCP and Internet Sharing Works
    Cons: (Was) Totally Insecure, Doesn't Work with PPTP

    Summary: Updated April 25: I'm told that D-Link has improved the security of the password, but I haven't verified that myself. I'm now using a Linksys BEFSR41, which is working well. I had a DI-701 briefly. The DHCP function worked fine. ... read more

  • Would Be Great If It Works

    Nov 14 '00
    Pros: Price
    Cons: Does Not Work With Established Networks

    Summary: This is my first disappointment from D-Link. I've come to rely on their switches, hubs and NICs for my home network. I decided to add the DI-701 after I got a cable modem installed. Physical setup of the unit is a snap, earning D-link one ... read more
