Comments on D-Link DSM-320 Media Lounge

I bought the D-Link DSM-320 with my own personal cash and with the v1.02 software I was deeply disappointed. The v1.03 update isn’t perfect but it has transformed the DSM-320 and it now works very well for me indeed. Note From Riyad As Leo mentioned in his review, I had real problems getting any kind of smooth video streaming via the DSM-320, but to be fair, this isn’t really a criticism of the Media Lounge itself. The building I live in was built in the 1850s and any wireless signal from my router to the living room has to pass through four solid stone walls – this causes problems for any wireless device, but it can be disastrous for a streaming device like this. I will be trying the Media Lounge again, while also installing a booster antenna for my router, so I’ll let you know how I get on. However, while meeting with D-Link at CES in January I saw the answer to my problems – a Media Lounge with an integrated hard disk. The hard disk will be able to buffer the video stream so that it shouldn’t matter if the signal is interrupted sporadically. The hard disk equipped Media Lounge should be available later this year, and I’ll be first in line to try one out.
