Some time ago I bought this Dlink DSL G624T wifi router modem.

Well.. after configuring everithing on the router I was quite satisfied by this product: good wireless range and bandwidth, stable connections. I was happy.

I then decided to configure the router for Emule using the port forwarding feature in order to get an high Emule id.

After three or four minutes the first freeze of the router occurred. If the modem is used with P2P programs it hangs and it is no more possible to browse the web or download. Only removing the AC plug it's possible to get control on the router again. However after some minutes more the hangs occurs again.

Searching the web I finally discovered that this is a known problem with this Dlink model with the firmware used in Italy (USA firmware or other should work). By upgrade the firmware it is possible to fix this issues.

However my idea is that this is a really huge bug which should be repaired directly by Dlink.

This problem is known by more than one year and Dlink is still selling bugged version of this product.

In my opinion Dlink, soon after discovering this bug should call the bugged products back to fix them.

I think that is not a professional approach for Dlink.

Two days after buying this product I sent back to the seller and got my money back.

UPDATE: After some further research it seems that this router also has different security vulnerabilities.
