Can't speak for the first two, but I have the 624 and like it. No problems, get signal throughout my three story house. Strong on lower and middle levels, adequate in the upstairs.

Good luck! :cheers:

wonder if the 524 would be just as good. from what i can tell the only differnce is the one used the super G if you have one of the suer G cards it will work almost twice as fast. i just have the internal card in the dell

Another vote for D-Link DI-624. I got it from Fry's couple months ago for $25 AR. So far it doesn't have any problem like disconnect. Rock solid performance. The signal strength is stronger than my Netgear 802.11B router which it should be.

P.S. When getting D-Link products, be sure to get the latest version if you can. D-Link has a bad reputation on pushing unpolished products to the market. I would suggest you first check D-Link's website and buy it at one of those retailers. Use FW to get some fat-cash.
