Top notch local telephonic support Mon - Fri 08h00 - 22h00.
They're all on the forum too. www.mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/415242-Welcome-D-Link-to-the-forums
As usual I will second this... I have one and it's great.

There's only one *-Link I trust.
If the TP can be had for cheaper, and the buyer is a techie, then of course no need for support so it would also be a great buy.

Okay, PM me and will sort you out today.
I went from a billion 400G (?) and it added a bar to my signal... but more importantly it is very fast. But I'm sure thats because I went from g to n.

PostmanPot is great to deal with, got my D-Link from him and i am faaar away in KZN 
. +1 recommended.
As far as wireless goes, i have yet to play around with it again but its decent for the thick walls in and around the house here. Its more a per user experience since you may have thinner walls

.I had a old router where i did not have to put my isp login details into the router. I just manually connected to whichever isp account I had from my laptop or xbox. I use different accounts. Is this possible with this D-link router?
Or does anybody know what this function is called?

Hmmm I haven't quite figured out how to do that yet... also used to be able to do it on my billion.

Thank(s) Yuu.
Dialing up to accounts manually is called Bridge Mode - could be what's being referred to?

D-Link's do half bridge mode as well so your modem is connected AND you can dial up to other acc's.

Awesome!
I have both the D-Link 2750U and TP-Link TD-W8960N. At the moment the TP-Link TD-W8960N is lying in the cupboard. I cannot sort out the problems related to the unstable internet connection and downloads, so I am back with the D-Link.
The Wi-Fi on the TP-Link was stronger than the D-Link initially, but since I added a range booster it doesn't matter any more.
I am busy trying to sort out the TP-Link issues with their technical support team, because it is an excellent modem otherwise.
