Comments about D-Link Amplifi HD Media Router 2000:
So far it is working fine. Easy install. Running both wired and wireless connections to it. Also have a hard drive running as a media server as well as backup file storage connected to the USB port. Android phone connects to media server as does Windows 7 system. I am having a few problems with my laptop running Vista and the media server connection in Windows media player. I do not have any problems with the file storage on either machine. I have not run any speed test using the USB 3 connection on media server so I cannot say if it is significant over a standard USB2 connection.
