D-Link DI-614+ AirPlus Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Router
D-Link, the industry pioneer in wireless networking, introduces another performance breakthrough in wireless connectivity — the D-Link AirPlusTM series of high-speed net working products capable of data transfer rates up to 22 Mbps. And with the new AirPlus DI-614+, D-Link once again sets a new standard for wireless broadband routers.
The AirPlus DI-614+ combines the latest advancements in 802.11b silicon chip technology from Texas Instruments and robust firewall security features. The DI-614+ is ideal for those creating their first wireless network, as well as for more advanced users looking for additional management settings and policy-based content filtering. Filters can be set based on MAC address, IP address, URL and/or Domain Name.
A simple yet intelligent, web-based setup wizard makes the DI-614+ easy for any user to quickly and securely connect computers to share a high-speed Internet connection, files, resources, games or just to communicate. An integrated 4-port switch allows direct connection of up to four computers. Several wireless clients can also securely connect to the network using 64, 128, or 256-bit encryption.
Additional advanced features include pass-through of multiple concurrent IPSec and PPTP VPN sessions for telecommuters or for anyone who needs to transmit sensitive information more securely.
The D-Link AirPlus DI-614+ is the ideal networking solution for small offices, home offices, schools, coffee shops and other small businesses that cater to the public, or home offices, and dormrooms.
Review from ZDNet UK
PROS
Easy setup; 256-bit WEP encryption; inexpensive; special high-throughput enhanced mode.
CONS
Exaggerated performance claims; enhanced mode requires a D-Link network adapter.
VERDICT
Its ease of use, good performance, excellent security features and low price make the DI-614+ a strong candidate for home and office use -- but its limited range and restricted warranty requirements pull it up short of perfection.
Review 25 October 2002
As dozens of ‘me-too’ products continue to crowd the Wi-Fi market, D-Link differentiates itself with its inexpensive AirPlus DI-614+ wireless router. Underneath its sleek, silver-and-grey styling, the unit houses an enhanced Texas Instruments 802.11b chip that supports a fast 22Mbps mode. Aimed at small office/home office users, the DI-614+ delivers ease of use, good performance and exceptional security. Unfortunately, we found its range and warranty disappointing.
