D-Link ExpressEtherNetwork 4 Port Broadband Router

D-Link DI-604 ExpressEtherNetwork 4 Port Broadband Router
Summary Fast 4 port 10/100 switched broadband router with SPI-based firewall & street price around $40.
Update 8/5/2002 - Corrected logging info.
7/30/2002
- Corrected performance test info.
7/8/2002 -
Pros • Establishes a new price / performance point for SOHO routers
• Faster than you'll ever need
• Lots of filtering / firewall features
Cons • No traffic logging
