How to get the G810 firmware loaded [Posted on 2006-02-14]
I too bought this device hoping to configure it as a bridge, but with the firmware loaded it wouldnt work. After hearing the G810 firmware worked, I tried it out but got a checksum error, but it is possible. You must first load the earliest G800 firmware, reboot, and then load the G810 firmware. Now everything works great.
Not worth it [Posted on 2006-02-23]
I did not have the set up issues the other reviewers mentioned. In fact, I followed the instructions of one reviewer and my set up was smooth and simple. Problem was the PC I was trying to obtain better high speed access on did not pick up the extender any better than the DI-624 router.
does not work, even with other D-link products... [Posted on 2006-02-25]
would not work with 624 D-link, even after several phone conversations and hours on the line with dlink technicians. the techs couldn't offer any solution beyond what was written in the instructions and worse, they clearly did not care whether it worked or not -- they could not wait to just tell me to ship it back to amazon where I bought it from so they could get off the phone... it was disgusting.

The product never worked, even after three calls to tech help. Tech help even changed my computer settings and it took me a while to reconfigure it. I returned the product, and advise anyone not to purchase it.

I got this repeater/AP 2 days ago, and I got lucky because I made it works within less than 30 minutes. I could be because I am in the IT field for more than 5 years. :)
Anyway, the configuration is really straight forward. All you need to do it login to the access web page with the default 192.168.0.30 and pick the wireless access point that you want it to boost the signal. The important step that I would say many people forget to do, is to change the repeater(DWL-G800AP)IP address to talk to your network. For example, if your network is configured with 192.168.1.1, then your repeater must be set to 192.168.1.XXX in this range. In order for it to talk to your network, they both must be in the same network class. I hope this helps a little bit.
