  Conclusion
   I 
    was hard pressed to find anything wrong with the DI-701. It offers very solid 
    value. Couple that with the easy install I experienced and my surprise at 
    how complete the install components that were supplied with it were. All networking 
    components should be this well thought out but unfortunately most fall short, 
    especially with their documentation. If you are new to networking components 
    you have nothing to fear with the DI-701. You can't compare a gateway to a 
    router, but for what it is designed to do the DI-701 does not disappoint.

   The 
    DI-701 is an excellent upgrade for someone who has already invested in a home 
    LAN setup. With an MSRP of $120 chances are that you can find it priced for 
    $100 or less. At a price that low it's almost crazy not to add a hardware 
    firewall to your LAN. I highly recommend you consider the DI-701 for your 
    own networking needs. With such a great combination of features, ease of use, 
    and solid pricing the DI-701 easily earns the TargetPC Value Award. Congratulations 
    go out to D-Link on their impressive product.
