A Closer Look
| D-Link DGL-4500 Xtreme N Gaming Router The new D-Link DGL-4500 Xtreme N Gaming Router is one of the first products from a new and modern family of networking gear from D-Link. This networking hardware has been designed specifically to address some of the issues found today in online gaming; with lag being the most significant of them. The D-Link wireless router enables users to set up a high-performance gaming network that offers the fastest wired and wireless speeds available from a single broadband device. The game-centric user interface of the Gaming Router allows for the configuration of multiple ports or port ranges. Designed with gamers in mind, this extreme gaming router surpasses the high-performance demands of today's video games with the fusion of D-Link GameFuel technologies, Gigabit LAN ports and up to 108Mbps WLAN connectivity, high-performance CPU, and the new Network Activity Display. It’s a great choice for those who want to implement it during LAN gaming sessions.
The D-Link DGL-4500 router from D-Link is a premier, gamer-oriented broadband router that contains powerful technology for quality networking: gigabit Ethernet, draft-N support, and dual band. While all the main buzzwords are there, a few caveats need to be mentioned, particularly the fact that while the router broadcasts in both the 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz spectrums, it can't do both simultaneously. The 5.0GHz is preferred due to decreased interference from devices such as microwaves and cordless phones. However, compatible adapters are rarer and more expensive. In a further attempt to justify the premium price D-Link includes an OLED screen that lets you monitor your network, and make simple configuration changes directly from the router itself.
The D-Link DGL-4500 also features D-Link GameFuel priority technology integrated directly on the router that gives precedence to gaming traffic for the ultimate online gaming experience and other Internet applications. The GameFuel technologies enable superior multitasking to each device on the network to perform heavy data transfers, whether they are FTP, P2P, or transferring large files over the network, without compromising the gaming traffic.
Delivering sophisticated firewall protection, the D-Link wireless router is easily configured through the advanced features section of the product's web-based interface. The router features a high-performance CPU to support an advanced management feature such as Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI). The D-Link wireless router features robust security to protect the wireless network from intruders, supporting the latest wireless networking security standards, including WEP encryption and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA. It also supports both 802.11g/b/n and WPA-PSK.
Moving around, the DGL-4500 uses three antennas to broadcast and receive its wireless signals giving the end user the ability to upgrade their antennas if they see fit to do so. Additionally, the device has four gigabit Ethernet ports, one WAN port for Internet, a single USB port, a small reset button and the power connection.
The D-Link DGL-4500 Xtreme N Gaming Router brings a lot to the table, including dual-band operation, 802.11n support, and a killer built-in OLED screen, on top of features perfectly suited for online gamers. In addition, this new D-Link gaming router features GameFuel technology to minimize in-game lag for the ultimate online gaming experience

Good price, great value
The only problem that I encountered with this router is that the buttons built into the router for navigating the screen broke, this is a minor problem as all statistics can be taken from the data logs through th e webpage.

Good Gaming Router
My grandson was having a great deal of lag when playing his games, so we bought this to overcome that. It took me awhile to set it up as we already had a router and network existing. I tried to use the same network name, but still had to do everything all over again. I'm not a techi. My grandson has been happy with his gaming experience. But the rest of the household has to wait longer in our computer work. Netflix takes a much longer time to come on, but when it does, it usually stays on. So far we have not had the signal drop at all, which we did have happen sometimes with our older router. We are basically happy with this router, especially for the reason we bought it. Once our other systems start up, they run at a very acceptable speed. We just have to have a little patience when we get things started.

Good router at a great price!
I bought this router to replace another D-link that was slower. This router does not have hiccups like some others. The speed is hard to notice but my son is happy with it on his online games. Good router speed at a great price!
