Summary: Dont waste your money
Comment: I like Vonage and I like D-Link, but somehow together they dropped the ball on this one. See the above review on the router's problem with keeping its security settings. I have the same problem. Every time it loses power you have to manually reset your security settings and passowrd. And you have to try fiveor six times before it will "take". I called Vonage, their great suggestion was I should buy a new router. They offered to send me a new non-wireless VOIP device..they won't support this router. D-Link? They refer you to Vonage..they don't even HAVE a firmware update which might fix the problem. My advice, stay away from this dog.

Summary: Best to avoid this one...
Comment: My issue is that this router loses it's security settings every time it's rebooted. This happens a lot in my area because we have power outages a lot, so it powers back up, doesn't reload the security settings, and thus leaves a security hole in my home network. Kind of a bad design in my opinion. Doing a manual reset to the correct security settings is certainly possible, but seems to be finicky (it requires a login to a web-based utility) and usually takes me a few tries to get it working correctly. Drives my wife and I crazy.
Instead of an integrated wireless/VoIP solution, I'll spend about the same money and get a better standalone wireless router and a better standalone VoIP adapter. This one isn't worth your money.

Summary: Not for advanced set-ups!
Comment: Im a UK vonage customer & have just received this d-link VWR as an upgrade since i was having troubles with my old linksys router.
This d-link fixed the problems I had with the linksys but introduced tonnes more!
Major set-backs ive found so far:
1)Awful web admin interface. Get anything wrong & no error messages are displayed and all the details entered disappear! Is only compatible with IE.
2)Wireless A/P setup is temperamental. I've set up the WPA encryption, saved and everything's fine until a power cut, or its unplugged... all the settings in the router get cleared leaving the access point open to all with no security!! Very bad!
3) The device doesn't allow wireless clients access to wired lan clients for some reason. Somehow they cant see each other in the workgroup or even ping each other using their assigned Ip's! So unless all your PC's are wireless or all hard-wired in there no chance of file sharing here!
My advise... steer clear of this one! Get a decent router, and buy the simple vonage telephone adapter (d-link VTA) instead.

Summary: Dlink VWR - great integrated VOIP Rounter
Comment: Works great. No hang ups ... great voice quality. Super wireless coverage though I did end up swappin in a cheap 9db antenna to make it better. Pure plug and Play ... worked first time ... every time. All my peripherals are networked and they all communicate with the ethernet ports and the wireless connections. Highly recommend it if you can still find one!

Summary: vonage d-link adapter review
Comment: The product works fine except for one thing. I cannot connect my OKI laser printer to it and have it network wirelessly with my other computers (not compatible). Luckily, I have two adapters and the other Linksys wireless adapter does work with it.

Wireless technologies are more and more popular because they linked the mobile network and Internet together. One of these modern technologies are Wireless LAN (WLAN), Bluetooth,
and Wireless Application Protocol
(WAP) are implemented as an extension to or
as an alternative for wired LAN to make the
communication more flexible and powerful to fulfill today’s need.
WLAN is one of the modern one, effectively Ethernet without wires.
It helps users to access a data network like the
Internet at high speeds of up to 11 megabits per
second (Mbps) as long as users are located
within a relative short range (typically 30–50
meters indoors and 100–500 meters outdoors)
of a WLAN base station (or antenna). This is a good alternative to most laptop users to assess Internet and getting popular most part of the developed world.
