Rating: 2.86/5 from 7 reviews One of the most Easy to use Wireless Access Pointsfresh out of box and didn't power upI got this because I was tired of horrible compatibility of my Netgear WAB102 dual band 802.11a/b access point (Centrino laptop won't transmit data through it and 802.11a doesn't work with WEP enabled). I got the D-Link unit home, pulled it out of the box, plugged in the antenna, and plugged it into the wall... no lights, no ethernet connection, DOA. The specs for range were impressive, but after reading some reviews of compatibility problems, bad support, and having the DOA unit, I don't trust D-Link products any more than my shoddy Netgear. When will the Wi-Fi sticker actually mean the products will interop? As it stands right now it is pretty meaningless. I guess you have to go with the masses and get an ugly and basic (but functional) Linksys. Most miserable experience in computingI purchased a DLink networking system last month and I finally gave up and switched to another brand. I was online with their tech for days spanning three weeks of hell. I would spend an hour with a tech only to find out that the access point would not work with my router. I purchased what I thought was the correct access points and stayed online with tech for two days. After two days, they said that this access point would not work with my router. Finally, we were able to key in on the right product and I spent all afternoon and into the night with it. Still would not work. All the PC magazines I have read rated the DLink as the best on the planet. I buy as much as I can with Amazon and just ordered a networking system by Linksys. I hope to God this system works. Never been so miserable in all the years with anything PC related. If you are busy and cannot take the time to be on the phone for three weeks with tech, do not buy Dlink. | ||||||||||||||
Setup was simple, basically follow the instructions and it works. Wireless Access points aren't hard to to setup anyway, but this was about as easy as it can get. My entire network is 108Mbps enabled.
