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 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.

This is a great router for general and gaming use.
People fail to understand that most any Wifi router has issues, especially in area with numerous Wifi routers near by on 2.4Ghz. These are using up all the channels and thus people are seeing disconnections from there router as it has to stop and rescan for a different channel.
Pros:
- Stable router for everyday use

The best router I've ever had
I have everything running off this one device - most usually running at the same time - netflix, apple tv, mutiple ipads, ipods, iphones, blackberries, speakers, and up to 3 computers at a time and I have never had any problems. I telework a lot, so VPN into the office as well.

Great router
Got this on sale. For the price, it's a great router. Easy to configure and lots of setting options. Replaced a D-link DIR-655 that was still working but didn't work with www.dlinkddns.com dynamic DNS (or any other dynamic DNS service) starting a few years ago..

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

D-LINK DIR-645 300 Mbps WiFi-N Router with SmartBeam
Having multple (pc) users + smartphones + games console is a push for most 802.11g wifi systems, so having a new 'n' router from my ISP I was looking for range & performance improvements. I could not have been more wrong with the <other-brand> router they supplied.
Pros:
- Stable
- high speed wifi with great range
Cons:
- some challenges with set-up wizzards & cable routing

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.
