- D Link DSM-520
I have recieved 2 of these items from Amazon. The first has a defective remote control which had to be sent back and second works fine. Setup of the DSM-520 itself is a breeze, however the wireless networking of the computer was a headache and a half. It doesn't respond well to firewalls of any type to include the windows firewall. I had it operating wirelessly one day and the next day it wouldn't play any files. I have since given up on the wireless aspect and have hard wired it with a 50' Cat 5 ... Read More

- Not real HD player.
It will play limited HD files but it will NOT play MKV files or even WMA with HD sound. Due this these limitations I returned this produced and got Popcorn Hour A-100 that plays every media file.

PROS: Well made. Real easy to set up.
CONS: Finicky about how some AVI files are ripped.

I do recommend this product. Works quite well.

Video quality was marginal as was the sound. Honestly, get a better ... Read More

- Must RTFM
OK, this is most likely my own fault - I have neglected to read a few key items before I purchased this item. Nevertheless, I think it falls short of expectations (even those set at reasonable levels).
I have a synology box running with all my media, which I can access through DSM-520 without turning on the computer - as intended setup. Problem comes in when I try to access on-line content - no way to do so without turning on your PC and installing D-Link software onto it. Going over wireless is ... Read More
