it's like netgear sc101 -- requires a special software on a pc and you can only share the storage to other computers thru this pc, not directly from the nas.

i might be wrong. but so far that's what i got from the info.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/Oct 3rd 2008 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/Oct 2nd 2008 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/Oct 3rd 2008 1:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/

Which means it can't be configued from a Linux machine.
No guest mode, which protects wired computers and non-guest connected wireless machines from guest computers.
Dumbed down interface. The interface to set application rules and virtual servers doesn't match everyone else in the industry.

Does it have QOS support or Wi-Fi Protected Setup or logging?

Comparing my D-Link router to online reviews of the AEBS, the AEBS seems to lack many advanced firewall features, such as the ones mention above and custom routing tables.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/Oct 6th 2008 12:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/Oct 3rd 2008 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/May 3rd 2009 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/May 13th 2009 3:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/]]>May 13th 2009 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/Oct 3rd 2008 8:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/
The DIR-655 went in great, firmware update went fine. Router/wireless ripping fast.

Went to install the SharePort software and it crashed my XP SP3 and Vista Home Premium SP1 systems horribly bad. Was able to get them going via system restore, but wasn’t pretty for a while.

I’m suspecting a conflict with AVG Free 8 which is a common piece of software on all my systems.

Can anyone else possibly confirm a SharePort/AVG Free 8 driver conflict who may have crashed their systems during/after installing SharePort?

Oh and I had to manually restore all my router (DIR-655) settings as it did not recognize the backup settings I made before the firmware upgrade.

Love the guest mode though........]]>Oct 3rd 2008 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/Oct 6th 2008 1:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/d-link-debuts-shareport-packing-dir-825-dual-band-router/I just installed the latest firmware and also the Shareport software.

Turns out it wasn't the A/V program after all.

It was the "Net Limiter 2 Monitor" program that was critically conflicting with the SharePort application (at this time).

It also was a common application on all of my systems. I did some additional testing in a Virtual PC session and was able to replicate the behavior I was seeing on my live systems (BSOD during SharePort install).

I uninstalled Net Limiter Monitor from my XP Home (SP3) and Vista Home Premium (SP1) systems. Then I reinstalled SharePort after creating System Restore points (just to be safe).

Installation went fine this time and no BSOD or conflicts were observed. The SharePort application quickly found the Seagate USB flash storage device I had connected up and I was able to "mount/connect" to it and read/write files from all systems.

To be clear...only one system can be connected to the device at one time as far as I can tell. Other than that it now works great.

Another user with the same issue independently confirmed this "fix" on his systems as well over at another blog thread.

I did send an email to the Net Limiter support team about the issue, but no response yet.

Not sure if it will occur with all their programs (paid/free) or just with Net Limiter 2 Monitor.

Hopefully this might apply as a solution to others seeing a BSOD when they try to install SharePort.

Cheers!

If you have to disconnect and reconnect manually to use on multiple computers I don't see much value in it really. minimal at best. I haven't tried it yet. I hope that is not the case. I'm trying with a external USB HD.
