works alright [Posted on 2007-03-26]
Item works as it should, but after using it for about 2 months I realized it would have been more effective to just buy a wired router and put a cable for each computer hooked up to it. It seemed like even with full signal the internet was going as slow as dial up. I still use the router but I ran a cable to my computers now.
Good Router, Bad Adapter [Posted on 2007-05-14]
Well, I had always trust D-Link, but now, not that much. You see, the Router has with me well over a year. The Adapter Kit broke down withing the month, and then I bought another that also broke down, though, this one lasted almost six months, then, I decided to buy another brand, that hasn't given me a single problem since I bought it, longer ago than what the two other lasted.
The router on the other hand, it has been great. I haven't had any problem with it. It has fallen, it was in a corner with a bunch of things around, including plants and whatnot (what a friend had to avoid or else he wouldn't have signal with his netgear). I had strong signal literally anywhere in my appartment (including the bathroom, tested!!). Now, I moved to a house more than twice as big as my old apartment, and I still have a good signal everywhere but the kitchen (where sometimes I have and sometimes I don't). Though, the adapter is a piece of crap that will break down fast, but the routher is well worth the price.
Ahhh!!! Something that is really great about D-Link: They have a great tech-support line. Unlike other companies, they don't charge you for it, and they will stay with you as long as it takes to resolve your problem!!
pleased with wireless router [Posted on 2007-07-26]
I started from scratch trying to set up a wireless signal in my home. After some research, I ordered this D-link product, got it delivered quickly and installed it. I did have some technical problems getting it to work. First I tried to use the e-mail to get it shaken down, but they weren't very helpful. I went back to the information, got a number, called and got a live person without too much hassel. He was very good and got me through the connection issue and I haven't had a bit of trouble. The price was right and it works fine.
Okay, it works. [Posted on 2007-09-08]
This was a first time wireless router and adapter purchase and installation. After getting everything hooked up and installed I was able to operate my laptop and desktop off the router for a home network. My laptop uses its own built-in wireless system to connect to the router. My desktop uses the adapter (DWL-122G) on a USB connection to communicate with the router. I was disappointed that the range of the adapter was so limited. I thought that I would be able to use the desktop in another room. But as it turned out I have difficulties when I am less than 20 feet from the router with no obstructions. The signal is really weak. I have tried everything I know to boost the reception to the adapter (DWL-122G) but without success. The laptop is completely mobile with the usual loss of signal with more obstructions like walls. I can get reasonable use to about 30 feet with a wall or two between the laptop and the router, which is satisfactory for my home use. The adapter performance is the most disappointing part of the product.
Great Router, Weak USB Dongle [Posted on 2008-03-21]
I bought this router / dongle combo but was not able to enjoy it very well.
I had trouble initially setting up the router. Once setup, the router does not give me too much trouble during use. I don't have the reset problems others are having.
The USB dongle is a different story. You plug it in and install the software. But the software was VERY difficult to use. It does NOT respond well. Sometimes it finds the device, sometimes it does NOT. What that means is that the USB device will disappear while using it.
Another issue is the signal strength. It seems to getting a strong signal in certain direction. BUT, sometimes, the signal strength will weaken without apparent reason. I gave it up after a few use.
Overall, the router is working fine for me. Both wired and wireless. Now that I have Level One WPC-0301 PCMCIA card, I am a happy camper with the router. :)
