High Speed

DGL-4500 Xtreme N gaming router is powered by Gigabit LAN and WAN ports to get your game on faster lane than ever before.

The advantage of Gigabit LAN ports is apparent for high-speed wired connection.

DGL-4500 is powered by Xtreme N Duo wireless technology which combines the latest wireless technology: the wireless –n (draft 802.11n standards) and dual-band technology. As we know 802.11n is still draft version, but it is claimed to be the fastest wireless technology – the future of wireless technology you can taste today.

Dual-band technology offers you both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands to double your wireless available bandwidth. By utilizing 5 GHz frequency band for your gaming environment, your wireless connection is free from the signal interference of 2.4 GHz frequency band.

Quality of Services

Common wireless routers which are not powered by the QoS priority engine, your friends from other computers on the network will hog your internet bandwidth when they are downloading high definition video from their favorite websites. With this QoS feature, your router is lag-free and jitter-free for better gaming experience.

DMZ or Port Forwarding

Generally some applications have problem working from behind the firewall or the router. Therefore you need to expose the host for gaming in the perimeter network or DMZ area while other computers are still protected behind the firewall or router.

DGL-4500 Xtreme N gaming router supports DMZ and Port forwarding features to allow you expose a host in the internet. By only exposing one host in the internet, your internal network will not be affected and keep secured from the wild internet. Make sure to assign a static IP address to the exposed host instead of configuring it as DHCP client.

Other plus features of this router are USB port and Network activity display.

Network Activity Display

D-Link has the philosophy: You can never have too much information. That's why D-Link includes a Network Activity Display to show you what's going on with your router. From this screen, you can monitor what's going on your LAN, WAN, and other various settings. The other plus feature is the clock. With this clock you can see exactly how long you've spent playing the game and not taking out the trash.

All of the features mentioned above are not the only features DGL-4500 D-Link Gaming Router can support.

I am looking for an adsl2/2+ modem/router which has 108mb wireless connection and 4 x gigabit(100/1000) ports?

adsl 2/2+ modem
108mb wireless
4 x gigabit port.
NETGEAR DG834-PN 108Mbps RangeMax ADSL Modem Wireless Router 4 Port 10/100

is the closest I have found so far - only problem is its not gigabit for the network
OK Additional Info for the second person who posted.

We do a fair ammount of network transfering - we have more than 4 computers with gigabit network cards, so want to be able to transfer to those computers at 100/1000 speeds rather than 10/100 speeds.

I would like it to be a modem because it emliniates a piecce of hardware - at which ctage I would like it to be ADSL 2+ complient because that what I am moving onto shortly.

The wireless is because we have a few laptops which use that at top speed - and for ADLS 2+ and for file transfer

oh and yes its a home network hence I am trying to find a cheap nice piece of equipment.

Here's the fastest wireless router made: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833150023, and it's going to give you more than twice the wireless speed, since 108Mb/sec. would be all you would get your way. Of course, if you are only wanting this for the internet, 54Mb is WAY to fast.
And if you need two computers to have 1000Mb/sec. speed between themselves, just join them to each other with a crossover cable: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2050400132&Submit=ENE&Page=1&SubCategory=132&srchInDesc=crossover and then use a wireless NIC to connect to the internet: http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=31 This will mean that each of those two computers would have two network connections (two NIC's), but that works fine.
