You may be sick of hearing about "the Cloud" by now, but you might as well get used to it. The Cloud has invaded NASes and networked media players and it's now starting to engulf the lowly router. The first example of this new genus is D-Link's DIR-605L Cloud Router .

You've probably never heard of a Cloud Router before. Neither did we, that is, until D-Link came along to introduce the DIR-605L Wireless N 300 Cloud Router. To clarify on the term, a Cloud Router essentially lets you access and manage the router over the Internet.
Pros:
- Easy to use and configure
- Remote management
- Affordable
Cons:
- No Gigabit Ethernet

Good router let down by it's range...
The title really says it all, it's a Good router let down by it's range. It has a very quick connection "300Mbps" and a consistent signal as long as your in range. It struggles to cover some of my 3 bed semi. Although the placement isn't great, on the floor on the ground floor.

Excellent Router
All my wireless devices are Apple and a little bit skeptical how well D-Link router would work. To my surprised, all of them connected without much of tweaking. This router works for me.

Worst purchase ever made
When it comes to the cost of internet through cable TV, you are always stuck renting the equipment. It does come with a price. I purchase this and my own cable modem for my Xfinity internet, and I couldn't be happier.

Big-time set-up hassles
I don't know how long this router sat on the shelf, but as it turns out the firmware was 2 version out-of-date and the router would not connect to the internet until a firmware update was performed.
Pros:
- Fast Connection Speed
- Reliable connection
- Secure Connection
Cons:
- Difficult To Set Up

D-Link DIR-605L Cloud Router
D-Link's DIR-605L Cloud Router, ($40) announced at this year's CES, is not a remarkably noteworthy router. It's notable for what it lacks: It's a single-band, has no Gigabit Ethernet ports, and no USB port. It's also noteworthy for the one new feature it has: D-Link's mydlink cloud service.
Pros:
- Affordable
- Remote network management available
Cons:
- No Gigabit Ethernet
- So-so performance
- Unexpected behavior in interface

D-Link DIR-605L Cloud Router review
The D-Link DIR-605L Cloud Router is a very simple device. It only uses the more congested 2.4GHz band, only has Fast Ethernet ports instead of the faster Gigabit Ethernet ports and doesn't have a USB port to share printers and storage on your network.

Newegg EggXpert Review
Another cool setting is the notifications & there are settings which allow you to be notified via email when either of the following occurs: (a) a new device connects to your router (b) a device FAILS to connect to your router & (c) new firmware is available. C is checked on by default.
Pros:
- *CONTINUOUS REVIEW FROM PROS TO CONS TO OTHER THOUGHTS
Cons:
- Next to all the connected devices I mentioned theres an iPhone style switch that allows you to block the internet connection to that device despite it knowing the password to the wifi signal etc.
