so what do you guys thing about the d-link extreme g wireless router? I'm planning on using it in a 1500 square ft. two story, three bdrm townhome. I've heard that the range on the router is pretty good compared to other 802.11g routers.
Got a tip for us?

I've got one and it works great. I've been using it for about a month with no problems. The configuration interface is nice. It's really easy to set up MAC filtering, WEP, etc. It has a lot of features that I haven't checked out yet.
As far as range and speed, I don't have any real numbers. I can tell you that I've never seen less than 3 "bars" on the airport icon (even going through a couple of walls and ~100 ft).

Two thumbs up!
The d-link is a great router. I've used mine in a 2-story house and had good reception throughout -- even when I went outside to sit on the back porch. 🙂
I now live in a 1600-square-foot apartment, and the d-link works equally well.

I was considering getting the D-link as well. I was going to wait out for an airport express, but i hear that apple's airport base stations have bad signal strength and range in comparison to third-party devices. I don't really need the AirTunes ability, or the portability.
Plus, I just trust D-link so much, all their stuff I've ever gotten has worked perfectly!

I actually ordered the airport express to use as a print server. I'm hoping that the express will work as a print server with my d-link router network.
