I have a Dlink 655 and love, but I'm playing with the idea of getting a dual band router. Not sure switcheable vs simultaneous dual band, either. What are you're recommendations for a good dual band wireless router? How's about the Dlink 825?

Thanks
 
I love my DIR-825. Works good. The only thing I miss about my WRT54GL is the ability to run Tomato / DD-WRT.

Any issues streaming media with this router? The benchmark only reviews have looked great for that but the one negative I've seen mentioned a few times is that it causes stuttering while streaming media across the network.

I have one and its pretty good. Havnt had to reboot it since the day I got, unlike my Linksys where I constantly had to reboot it. Wireless signal is great, the features are great, nothing wrong with it.
 
just wondering but have you ever updated the firmware on your dlink? because my 825 was working perfectly until i updated the firmware to 1.12. now every few days i have to reboot the router for the network to have internet.

have you tried downgrading to see if that fixes the problem? may also have been a bad/incomplete flash. in that case reflashing may help.
