This review is from: D-Link DWL-G700AP Wireless Access Point, 802.11g, 54Mbps (Personal Computers)

I use this AP as a second broadcast point at the other side of the house because me router can't reach that far. The connection strength, even when going upa floor and over about 50 feet is "Very Good". The configuration, if you even want to do any, is very simple to acomplish. The speed is fine throughout the house.

This review is from: D-Link DWL-G700AP Wireless Access Point, 802.11g, 54Mbps (Personal Computers)

As an old D-Link user I found no surprises, or problems with this unit.

I did not use it as a repeater, only an access point. All worked very well and the installation was straight forward. I like the new (to me) feature of being able to control the transmission strength.

If you are using XP be aware that when you set up a new wireless router you must be aware that the "Authentication" tab in the properties is usually on by default and can bite you (be looking for a EAP smart card) with this, or any, access point if you are not expecting it.

I have used D-Link units for many, many years now and found them to be very stable, and upgradeable. This B/G unit is replacing my very old D-Link A/B access point and that unit is still working well and will next be in service at a friend house as a free-bee.

1.0 out of 5 stars Didn't work with dlink di-524, October 18, 2004

This review is from: D-Link DWL-G700AP Wireless Access Point, 802.11g, 54Mbps (Personal Computers)

Did a little bit of research before I bought this product, but obviously should have done more. After trying to learn how to set this up in repeater mode with the documentation supplied I went to the web. Surprise, surprise, dlink's site had different documentation. Bottom line is that the dwl-g700ap does not work in repeater mode with di-524 despite being advertised as working with the di-524 on dlink's website. This info is only available from tech support and even then it's like pulling teeth. Since they could tell me which wap's would work with the di-524, but not which routers would work with the dwl-g700ap, I'm guessing that this product may not work as a repeater at all.
