This is a used DIR-655 router. It works great, I moved to an apartment that has a contract with AT&T so I'm stuck using a 2wire router they gave me. So I figured I'd let this one go rather than leaving it in a closet for a year. I don't have the box or manual, all this comes with is the router, a stand, and power cord. If I find the manual or an extra Cat 5 cable i'll throw it in but only bid on what I stated I have). I was pretty happy with this router for the few months I used it.Check out my 100% 802.11n (draft 2.0)•IEEE 802.11g•IEEE 802.3•IEEE 802.3uInterface Type•4 Gigabit LAN Ports•1 Gigabit WAN Port•USB Port (for Windows® Connect Now)Antenna Type•3 ExternalSecurity•WPA™ & WPA2™ (Wi-Fi Protected Access)Advanced Firewall Features•Network Address Translation (NAT)•Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)•VPN Pass-through / Multi-sessions PPTP / L2TP / IPSecDevice Management•Internet Explorer® v6 or Later; Mozilla® Firefox® v1.5 or Later; or other Java-enabled (Wireless Connection)•LAN (10/100/1000)•USBCertifications•FCC Class B•CE•Wi-Fi®Dimensions•Item (WxDxH): 4.6" x 7.6" x 1.2"•Packaging (WxDxH): 8.1" x 10.9" x 2.6"Weight•Item: 0.7 lbs•Packaging: 2.0 lbsWarranty•1 Year Limited*Recommended System Requirements•For Optimal Wireless Performance:

WHY INTELLIGENT QoS IS BETTER
With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including VoIP,
Video Streaming, Online Gaming, and Web browsing are mixed together
into a single data stream. By handling data this way, applications like
video streaming could pause or delay. With D-Link’s Intelligent QoS
Technology, wired and wireless traffic is analyzed and separated into
multiple data streams. These streams are then categorized by
sensitivity to delay, so applications like VoIP, Video Streaming, and
Online Gaming are given priority over Web browsing. This enables
multiple applications to stream smoothly to your TV or PC.
ADVANCED NETWORK SECURITY
The Xtreme N Gigabit Router supports the latest wireless security
features to help prevent unauthorized access, be it from over a
wireless network or from the Internet. Support for WPA™ and WPA2™
standards ensure that you will be able to use the best possible
encryption regardless of your client devices. In addition, this Xtreme
N router utilizes Dual Active Firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent
potential attacks from across the Internet. Also, the DIR-655 uses
advanced firewall features. The web-based user interface displays a
number of advanced network management features including:
Content Filtering - Easily applied content filtering based on MAC Address, URL, and/or Domain Name.- Filter Scheduling - These filters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of hours or minutes.
- Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions
- The DIR-655 can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and
concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-655 can
securely access corporate networks.

from IEEE Standard 802.11g and draft 802.11n specifications. Actual
data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental
factors, including volume of network traffic, buildings materials and
construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate.
Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range.
