Hi,
    My experience with two D-Link routers is that they are not hard to 
configure via the web and they start out working well. However over time 
both routers began to misbehave and resetting or power cycling became a 
problem. The first one started losing the ability to handshake with the 
cable modem. Power cycling got to the point that maybe one in ten tries 
worked. This happened after about 15 months. The second one so far has 
only been experiencing the power cycle issues now where all of the 
router lines come up hung. For the first few months both worked fine on 
power cycling.
