Did not work out of the box. [Posted on 2007-09-23]
I normally have had good luck with D-Link products.Unfortunatley...this did not work out of the box for me. I was on the line with D-Link for a while before they told me to "go back to the place where I purchased it from to get a refund or replacement". Talked to a friend at work who had the same WAP and he had a similar experience.
Buyer beware...

If you can get it configured, it will work. Be prepared to spend hours (literally) getting this unit to work with anything other than default settings. If you check the various forums, you'll see posts about firmware problems, and configuration issues. I use other D-Link products, and they're great, but I would avoid this one.
Works as Advertised [Posted on 2008-04-09]
This is a nice, simple WAP that works as advertised. The web-based set up was easy to implement. Good performance for a reasonable price.
This product is poorly designed, and DLINK Tech Support is TERRIBLE [Posted on 2008-07-26]
First, I am not a novice in setting up networks at home. My home is completely wired and have generally never had trouble in the setup or operation of it. It is also all based on DLink products up until now (which is going to change).
The fundamentally poor design is that this comes out of the box with a static IP of 192.168.0.50. That means you can't change it, until you log into the device using another device with an address in the same range. At home, my entire network...and computers..are all on a different network. That means in order to even get the thing to work, I have to remove one of my computers from my network, adjust some advanced network settings, and hook it directly to the access point. And all of my computers are neat and tidy..who wants to do this?
I got the login to work the first time (after having spend 1 hour with Tech support) but have not been able to get it to work with my network. It's a piece of crap. And DLinks tech support is terrible. The gal on the phone didn't even understand networking basics.
Works better than their 802.11g Wireless Repeater [Posted on 2008-10-21]
We had been using the D-Link Wireless Repeater in conjunction with the D-Link DI-524 Wireless Router. The router has always worked fine. The repeater would work for a few minutes, or maybe a few hours, or maybe all day. But then, inevitably, it would have to be power-cycled because the wireless PC would no longer be able to connect to it. The signal from repeater to PC would always be good ... you just could not get to the Internet. On the advice of a seasoned IT pro, I replaced the repeater with this Access Point. It came up working from the beginning and has not failed in three weeks of daily use.
