I don't know which D-Link are you using, but out of the 4 people that I know and they got it .. 3 were complaining. Most of the people who got Netgear were saying that the range is ok and no problem with the connectivity, but the device were very hot [especially the small models]. I did not use Netgear for a while so I'm not sure if they overcome this issue. Compared to the other models, it heats up faster than them. So i does heat up e46M3, but not quickly :)
