D-Link DIR-645 review
The D-Link DIR-645 (or the Whole Home Router 1000 as it's called in the US) is the latest D-Link push on injecting style into its home routers. Every networking company goes through this at some point, in an attempt to avoid yet-another-box syndrome.

D-Link DIR-645 SmartBeam router
Last month we reviewed the D-Link DIR-657 , a router filled with proprietary tricks to get around the ever more limiting factors of 802.11n WiFi. It didn't work and felt like the final proof that you can't teach an old standard new tricks. Turns out we gave up a few weeks too soon...
Pros:
- SmartBeam significantly improves WiFi range & performance
- Stylish & practical design
- Intuitive setup & graphical user interface
- Well priced
Cons:
- Single band limits multiple user wireless streaming

Great Improvement over vendor Wifi router.
Easy to set up, but has the capacity for a complex setup, including port forwarding. I just used the manual setup to input the routers IP and DNS, gave the wireless network a name and password and started using it. Much better signal and speed at all locations.

D-Link DIR-645: broadband router
Most routers tend to look pretty much the same: thin, black or grey boxes with antennas and blinking lights. To buck the trend, the D-Link DIR-645 is a simple black cylinder that looks sleek but also adds some interesting new features.

Great overall Router.
It a normal everyday router, not for the advanced home where loads of devices be connected. However it does have great reception if located in the right place. Great for a normal home with around 5-8 devices. Reliable has not crashed or given any issues.

D-Link DIR-645 review
D-Link's DIR-645 is certainly a break from router convention. Instead of being a short and squat box with stubby aerials, it's a round glossy black cylinder. According to D-Link, it also has something special inside to help improve wireless speeds – what the company calls SmartBeam technology.

Super Fast, Handles great
HINT; plug your ethernet cord in the very bottom plug on the modem, it doesnt show this on quick set up. Lack of information and set up guidance, have to go to disc to get 50 page guide. Dont like that!!! Dont like that it doesnt have software so I can change the settings when I want.
Pros:
- So far it is handling all my devices 4 laptops, 2 tablets, 1 tv 3 iphones and will be adding a DVD
- My speed flies, I hit internet and I am there in a blink.
Cons:
- Ok
- like others have posted
- it is a ***** to install.
