SmallNetBuilder has a review of the D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router which is one of the first of the draft 2.0 compatible “N” routers to hit the market. Don’t you love all how “Xtreme” it is?

Overall it looks really good and I’ve heard some good things about it from the folks at Pure. I’m going to wait for the DIR-855 Dual Band version which should be available “soon” according to the D-Link web site. This version supports the 5ghz band and given the various reports of problems with 2.4ghz N routers coexisting with existing B and G equipment on 2.4ghz, I’m hoping that 5ghz will be less congested. When I tried 5ghz in the past (using “A”) the experience was very poor- the range was much lower for the 5ghz products, but I’ve heard that has improved in the past 4 or so years.
