DGL-4500 or router of my dreams
A brief announcement and small impressions of the new device from D-Link ...
Today I was sitting and choosing a router for my home network. Requirements are:
- built-in gigabit switch (home is a gigabit NAS)
- draftN wi-fi
- port-forwarding port for forwarding from router to NAS
So a list of suitable models:
Netgear WNR854T ~ $ 160-170
TRENDNET TEW-633GR ~ $ 160-180
D-LINK DIR-655 ~ $ 160-180
D-Link DGL-4300 ~ $ 110-130
D-Link DGL-4500 ~ $ 210-240
Initially, I was looking closely at the DGL-4300, but then I saw the DGL-4500 and was just stupefied.

It is positioned as a gamer, due firstly to Gigabit ethernet, and secondly due to the GameFuel engine technology, which, as promised, increases the speed of the network game.
Also, the router uses Green Ethernet technology, which allows you to monitor network activity,
and depending on this, adjust the power of the Wi-Fi transmitter.

But the most important difference is the presence of OLED-display, which shows the network activity in real time. I remember the same delight I had when in my time a modem with a screen appeared,
not from USRobotics, not from Zyxel. He showed the frequency response of the line, which led me to indescribable delight.
