Product Description

For users seeking a simple solution to improve the reach of their wireless signal within their home or office, the DWL-G710 is the answer. This Wireless Range Extender takes an existing 802.11g wireless signal and ?repeats? it to enable wireless connectivity in the basement, patio, garage or any ?dead spot? areas where your original wireless signal could not reach. It's capable of repeating the signal of virtually any 802.11g wireless router or access point out on the market today. At the same time, the DWL-G710 can still communicate with other 802.11b/g wireless client devices.

If you don't have D-link equipment, do your homework before buying this repeater. It may work with your setup, it may not. Make sure you find someone on the net who has successfully set up the unit with your specific configuration and find out how they did it. We use Netgear WG302 WAPs. I spent as much time trying to set up the DWL-G710 as we could afford. A subsequent look on the web revealed that other IT professionals have had no success with this specific configuration. Don't make my mistake--do your research first.

WARNING - ONLY WORKS WITH D-LINK ROUTERS.......2007-05-23

I just purchased this unit to extend the range of a 2Wire Wireless router / modem unit. I was unable to configure the unit and upon calling D-Link Technical Support Line (busy the first 3 times), I was told by a very courteous rep that the unit I bought only works with D-Link routers. So basically D-Link blatantly lies when it states on the box "Works with virtually all 802.11g/b routers and access points". I carefully repackaged the unit and am sending it back to Amazon for a refund.

Pros: Simple to setup, works as advertised, provides wireless coverage far beyond the range of my existing wireless router.

Cons: None so far

Overall: Highly recommend if you are looking to extend the range of your existing wireless network.

I am not sure what troubles others are running into with setup of this product. The quick start guide is very straight forward, and by following the directions I was able to get this up and running in less than 15 minutes. Once setup (for which you have to hardwire into your network) I moved the Range Extender to its desired location, turned it back on and everything was working.

I now have wireless access throughout my back yard, where as before installing the Range Extender I was unable to get a connection right outside my back door. I am able to walk throughout the house without losing connection, even if I move outside of the expected range of one device or the other (my laptop does not seem to even notice that there are two devices -- which exactly what I expect).

I am very happy -- it works exactly as I expected with no hassles!

Dear Sirs,
unfortunatly i can not make a right review simply because the product is still in USA, Columbus, by my son Diego that he will brings back to Italy middle of June.
At that time will be my pleasure to make the review.
Best regards

Limited routers work with DWL-G710.......2007-05-13

Great idea, but limited to specific D-Link routers (not all) as I have a DIR-625 > Range Booster N Router and it won't work. Make sure you know what routers this extender will work with.
