Important Note: This is not solely a wireless router. Provided to DSL customers of Telus
(a Canadian phone and internet service provider) around 2004, it is a combined box that
contains wireless and wired routers, DSL modem and hardware firewall. This is not the
same as the regular DSL-604+, which was sold in several countries but not in Canada, and
which was a wireless router and not a combined box.
Did the Router Work: If you haven't changed the settings from the default, it works right off
the bat. You can change the SSID to anything you want, but make sure to accommodate
the change on your console(s). WEP encryption can also be used, but don't mess with the
firewall settings. WPA also works, but only with the Wii and not the DS just so you know.
Price: It came with the Telus DSL, but if you've still got this old dinosaur you probably don't
want to pay Telus to give you a new modem as well as buy a new router ($150 Canadian
total), so it's moot.
Other Things: If said cost of getting a new modem and router is not a problem, do it. It works
with the Wii and DS, but it's a crippled device when it comes to everything else, due to Telus
and D-Link refusing to provide tech support for it (you have to get an installation guy to come
in to look at it, which is a rip-off).
Recommendation: ***
Router: D-Link DIR-615
From Forum Member: FENNEC
This router was bought as a replacement for my venerable DI-624. It does work great, but
with a caveat.
1. Follow the installation instructions TO THE LETTER! D-Link products tend to be very
temperamental during the initial setup stage - just allow it to configure all the defaults for
you.
