Rating: - This works amazingly!
I ordered this item (refurbished from another website for $30.00) because I was having connection issues using my neighbor's wireless connection. My laptop (Dell Inspiron 1150 with Dell's 1450 Internal a/b/g card) could pick up the signal with no problem but my desktop (with a Linksys WMP55AG) would barely pick up the signal and disconnected all the time. I talked with Linksys's "Technical Support" (my neighbor uses the Linksys wireless router mentioned in the previous post) and they told me their ... Read More

This item is not easy to set up -- even for someone who has experience with such equipment. I bought two of these to use as additional APs in my house and I'm glad that I did. Although their functionality as an AP is not as full-featured as the full-blown AP models, these little boxes pull their weight.
If you want to make your wireless LAN as "silent running, stealthy" network that only you and your closest friends know about, then this product is not for you. It does support 64, 128, ... Read More
Rating: - Very Disappointed with DWL-800AP and Dlink Technical Support
I purchased this product to repeat the signal of a non-Dlink brand access point. As you may know by now, this doesnt work and was not mentioned in any sales information I found from Dlink before I purchased.
Also, their technical support staff was completely rude and out of line. This product is being returned. This is my first and LAST experience purchasing a Dlink product.

I bought two of these to replace an existing Home Phone network that I had. I thought that they would also function as wireless access points/Ethernet bridge just like the DWL810+. I was wrong. If you are looking to use this as a range extender it will work. You might also try purchasing an antenna booster. I had problems getting a signal in my basement. This product worked OK but you can get an antenna for less than half the price. Otherwise you are much better off with the DWL810+ which I had purchased ... Read More
Rating: - Easy set up, works with a Netgear router.
I bought the DWL-800AP+ to be used as a range extender with a Netgear MR814v2 wireless router. The enclosed quick guide was enough for setting it up in few minutes; I run the set up with a Mac PowerBook, using Safari and Explorer; both worked smoothly. I upgraded to firmware version 2.0 before testing the network. The signal strength from the DWL-800AP+ is comparable to the one from the router; together they increased the coverage from 30% to 100% of my apartment, which is built in concrete walls. It required ... Read More
