Wow, had to dig a bit to figure that out and I purchased it March 2010.
Hard to believe it was that long ago. I probably fiddled with it on and
off for a year. I had an older 802.11b wifi router I wanted to upgrade
to 802.11n so this seemed like just the thing. Eventually I reverted
back to the old unit and saved up for something else. I ordered the
Airport Feb 2012 after realizing I had pretty much flushed money down
the drain on the DLink. I really didn't have time to sit on hold with
tech support and diagnose an intermittent issue. The DLink was, at the
time, about US$75 and the Apple Airport Extreme was US$165 so maybe I
was expecting too much from such a cheap unit, but I guess I'm getting
less tolerant of basic commodity technology that doesn't work reliably.

Thanks,
I would like to do that but I can not find a DSL to ethernet modem here. Could
you tell me how long ago you had your Dlink?

Not sure what the cost difference is but the DLink DIR-628 I had was nothing
but trouble. Couldn't get my devices to stay connected. I finally spent a lot
more and got an Apple Airport and all the problems went away. It just works. If
it were me I would get a simple DSL to Ethernet router and the connect that to
an Airport for all the Wifi stuff.

Hi all,
after 8 years I need to purchase a new modem router. I am looking for a duel
band. I am looking at a Dlink 2890al. this number may not be the same in all
countries as I believe Dlink market there products differently around the
world. I was not a fan of Dlink years ago but I understand they have lifted
there game. Can anybody tell me if the web interface is accessible using
Safari? I am also interested in opinions on this router. I have been using a
Billion up to now. I have been reading reviews that say they are not as good as
they used to be.
Thanks for any help.
Max.
