I replaced a Netgear router for this Linksys. Netgear was also difficult to set up as you say your D-Link was. I agree, that this sets up and installs like a breeze and is very reliable. My Netgear kept dropping out and had to be powered down/up several times a day, which gets old, especially if you are trying to run a business and webcasting live video streams. This router is the way to go!
