D-Link SuperG MIMO Router (DI624M) for $49 after MIR

[Stout]

Haven't post here in ages, but I haven't seen this one around...

Just picked up a D-Link Super G MIMO Wireless Router (DI624M) @ COSTCO for $79 with a MIR of $30. So $49 only!

Good deal? I think so...

Anyone used this router?

MIMO! I think this is a HOT deal + Costco warranty

Very mixed reviews...

Oh well I can always return it to Costco whenever I get fedup w/ it, if it gives me a hard time... Will try it.

Up and running 4 pc's flawless, with awesome reception the whole 3k sq ft. Also the firmware update took a few mins and no problems at all...

you must have a mimo card to get the full blown mimo effect. They're pricy as heck though.

with the latest firmware and matching card this a very decent router - IMHO the netgear 824MGR (?) is better though, if you need total range. I have covered over 200ft through a building on one occasion. Note always use the latest firmware as these are still evolving.

I should mention a few more things. With Mimo routers they do not always work with other brands of mimo clients. Also, Mimo routers tend to cause interference to other networks in the area.

I think its worth waiting unless you have matching hardware for a good price.

I have hooked up this router and the Linksys and Netgear versions. This one is no good. It does not have very good range at all, no better than regular Linksys G routers. I was suprised, sorta. The Linksys is OK, and I love Linksys products, but the best MIMO I've used so far is the Netgear. If you want MIMO I would wait untill the linksys or netgear come down.
