D-Link DHP-1320 Wireless N PowerLine Router Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased it to replaced a "repaired" powerline wireless adapter (two capacitors popped due to low working voltage than system required).
The basic setup is kinda straight through. As I use Clearwire, I have to use fixed IP on both (this router and modem) so I can setup DMZ to the router.
Wireless setup is easy, but you have to know how do you setup WPA2 (use personal for home use). The transmission is about the same as the wireless router I used though the antennas can be removed.
Network setup is a bit tricky because I encountered "IP conflict" error with laptop which causes a lot of disconnection. Assign an IP fixed.
PLA (homeplug AV) is a bit tricky too. Make sure you know your assigned network name, and you have to write down the opponent adapter's 16 (4+4+4+4) character password. Plug the adapter next to the router (you know you MUST plug it to the wall jack directly as surge protector blocks out the signal). The router will detect the adapter then you can enter the password and both are connected (I use Belkin and Actiontec powerline AV adapters and they wall work). It looks like it has a bit higher actual data rate (the setup shows 170Mbps and I get 20-30Mbps) with adapter upstairs (I use it to associate with several wireless APs).
Wifi is a bit slower even in N mode (I get 8Mbps with wifi when I get 11Mbps with network cable when I did several speed tests with Clearwire). This is a reason why I give 4.
Generally I think I get a good unit so far, but make sure you give good air ventilation as it's warm to touch.
I recommended it if you got a good unit.
