Is this necessary? NETGEAR did this a while back, and ended up knocking the University of Wisconsin's NTP server offline. There's no mention of that in their article. 24.57.203.238 14:24, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
I agree with Flakeloaf, therefore, I have reverted the page so that the NTP issue is included.
OK, this is crap. The argument that "Netgear did it too" does NOT make it right to abuse NTP, nor does it change the fact that D-Link is (as of 21 Apr 2006) abusing the system, nor does it change the fact that it is a relevant fact about D-Link that should be included in the article. I cannot help but notice that the majority of edits removing this are from anonymous users, and cannot but wonder if this is D-Link astroturfing. Moreover, the amount of traffic being generated by D-Link is *huge*, and unlike Netgear who moved to correct the problem and reimburse UoW for the trouble, D-Link is ignoring the matter.

I have decided to lock this page after I have discovered that there are much information which seems to be done by vandals. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.207.99.134 ( talk • contribs) 17:52, February 25, 2006 (UTC)
Maybe I'm just stupid, but it doesn't seem like adding a lock template is the same thing as an admin actually locking the page. At any rate, 100% agreement that this article as it is right now is an advertisement. Howdoesthiswo 16:34, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
I have re-locked this page. Vandalisim of this site must cease. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.57.195.142 ( talk • contribs) 02:06, February 26, 2006 (UTC)
Is it absolutely necessary to mention that D-Link products are sold at Best Buy? The Apple page doesn't mention that I can find one at my neighbourhood Sobey's. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Flakeloaf ( talk • contribs) 02:30, October 14, 2005 (UTC)
The article feels like an advertisement. I suggest a re-edit —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.243.171.206 ( talk • contribs) 12:20, November 27, 2005 (UTC)
This is definitely an advertisement. No doubt about it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.54.134.36 ( talk • contribs) 19:46, December 2, 2005 (UTC)
Is this article even necessary? Would it possibly be better to delete it until something NPOV can be written instead? -- Jibjibjib 03:23, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
I must agree that this article comes acrossed as biased. Phrases such as "world leader" are highly subjective. This sounds a lot more like a leaflet coming out of D-Link headquarters than it does a neutral assesment of a corperation.
I feel that this article should be rephrased to use more objective language (e.g. "world leader in sales of home networking equipment for fiscal 2004" -- perhaps as a footnote.) Even if this isn't a NPOV problem (which I believe it is) it IS a failure to site sources.
--WH
I'm going to go ahead and change this to a cleanup rather than NPOV. Seems more fitting. 24.57.203.238 04:19, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
The edit made by 203.75.221.6 on Nov 30 05 doesn't quite read right. Could the person responsible for that edit please describe in detail what they intended to say so we could rephrase it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Flakeloaf ( talk • contribs) 16:07, November 30, 2005 (UTC)
Image:DlinkLogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:45, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
It sounds like a commercial —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.3.20.5 ( talk) 10:37, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
I second this, for that sounds just like an ad press-release, isn't it:
... as a leading global IT company, we supply businesses -large and small-, government, education and consumers with networking products under the D-Link brand.
It sounds like it's a direct copy/paste from their website. Either that, or they've written that section themselves with advertising purposes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.101.1.128 ( talk) 04:16, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
History Section needs to be deleted and redone is more like it. Three paragraphs in it totally switches to ad copy, including using "we did this", "our motto is", and most amusing of all, flattening a bulleted list so that it looks like a paragraph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.53.185.25 ( talk) 05:10, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Would it be wise to note that many drifers are NOT compatible for x64 Vista? This includes the current retail DWA/N-130 Wireless N USB Adapter. It also may be wise to note that the D-Link website May not provide USB 2.0 compatible drivers for your specific piece of hardware. One more thing, XP states that the drivers obtained from the D-Link website AND the CD itself are NOT Digitally Signed, even though screen shots on the website say they are. 66.168.19.135 ( talk) 23:18, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
This has recently been removed as it is stale, at three years old. However, I'd like to get more input as the GPL violation case was quite significant in the history of the GPL, I believe. I think this needs some discussion. Verbal chat 14:52, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
The article D-Link G604T Network Adaptor has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Hey there,
I was thinking it might be worthwhile mentioning that there have been number of technical issues with some of the D-link routers (we can cite either Dlink relase notes, or adslgeek.com/dslmodem/d-link and I can find more if we need to)
Do you guys think this would add to the article? I am not fully up to speed on all the Wiki rules? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.238.170.182 ( talk) 11:21, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Can somebody add this to the page?
DLink is the market share leader for WLAN devices in 2010. http://www.instat.com/press.asp?Sku=IN1004773WL&ID=2815

The example pictures of D-Link routers are all quite old. Would be nice to have some newer images, particularly considering the rather radical design shifts seen in the new AC routers (eg. DIR-895L/R and DIR-868L). Besides routers, there are wi-fi cameras (eg. DCS-825L) and other smart home products (DCH-101KT) that may give readers a better idea of the updated product line the company now offers. 122.146.2.131 ( talk) 02:53, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. |
As an employee at D-Link, COI prevents me from updating this article myself. The routers displayed under the "Product Range" section are out of date and do not accurately represent the company's current product range. I propose replacing these pictures with more recent examples of company products and perhaps renaming the section, for example to: "Examples of D-Link Products" in order to better support the existing content of the "Product Range" section.
Router wise, good examples would be the DIR-895L/R and the DIR-868L. Besides routers, there are Wi-Fi cameras (eg. DCS-825L) and other offerings such as DIY Security Kits ( DCH-101KT).

Currently this article ( D-Link) contains a sentence that says
In 2021, D-Link announced to become the agent for the international information security brand, Cyberbit in Taiwan, and launched the new EAGLE PRO AI series transforming home Wi-Fi experiences.
but the hyperlink pointing to Cyberbit does not do what was ["probably"] intended.
For some more details, please see
Thanks for listening! Mike Schwartz ( talk) 16:23, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
