Opinions on D-Link dir-615

Hi All

I have my Broadband with Digiweb 5Mb.

I need a new ethernet router and narrowed it down to the D-link-615. Its working out about €35.

What do ye think of it ?

Thanks

What about the standard software. Is it any good?

its a while since i used it.

i remember it being kind of clunky but was usable

but dd-wrt much better and very easy to put on

Does adding dd-wrt invalidate the warranty?

Does it also change the interface? Just wondering because if I were on the tech support all the menus would be different and they wouldn’t be able to help me.

i'm not sire about the warranty as you can put back the original firmware

yes it does change the interface

but there are lots of guides etc.. online

I had a D-link wrt-825 and had many problems with. I would stay away. I have since replaced my router but put DD-WRT on the D-link to play with. DD-WRT is great, I can't recommend it enough.
