I have them all, but there is a bug in the firmware (waiting for an
update as the most current update isnt any good) so I cant use
anything other than WEP as I will drop connections. My ISP says I
dont need a firewall since I have my router, but D-Link says the more
security features I have enabled on my router, the slower the
connection. Right now, there are connection issues with my ISP so and
drop in speed is clearly noticable.
