I need to connect one PC and SMP, with access to the Internet.
If anyone has the the same router.
I am interested in its compatibility with the SMP.
The actual speed Internet access.
The actual speed between PC and SMP.

I read this list. In my country almost impossible to buy anything from this list.
That's why I asked this question.

I had that model & it worked fine. As for speeds, that's wholly dependant on location. Each situation is different & unique to your property

I have a player and PC in the same room (about ten feet of each other). So I decided to buy a router with no WI FI.

I copied a file from a SMP's USB drive in my PC. It seems everything is OK .

I can chime in a little...I have a DIR655. It has worked with 3 generations of Live devices now. The only issue I encountered was the DNS passthrough checkbox. You might need to manually enter in a DNS server on the WD TV Live if you are using the DNS relay option.

[oldman777]

Internet port of the router is connected to DHCP.
DNS relay is enabled. DNS-server on the WD TV Live is determined automatically. So far everything is working fine.
Nevertheless, I was impressed with a long service life D-Link.
