Another double failure [Posted on 2008-02-09]
I purchased my original WN802T in Sept 2006 which failed April 2007. Netgear advanced shipped the replacement (cost me about $17). The replacement failed around Nov 2007. Luckily I also have the WNR834 which is the router version which keeps plugging away. However, I like the flexibility of the access point better. Will try my luck at getting Netgear to replace the second failed unit also
Like many others this thing just died. [Posted on 2008-03-14]
I've had two of these the first one just stopped working one day so we got another. (A fluke, right?) The second just died. Less than 6 months old and it's scrap. During the time that it worked, I loved it. Unfortunately, it's too expensive to consider disposable. Also unfortunate is the lack of a comparable product.
Not a range extender! [Posted on 2008-06-11]
Bought this on Netgear's recommendation to extend the range of a Netgear
wn834 wireless router. The router worked alright, but wouldn't reach the
200' I wanted to reach. After days of trying get the 802T to work as a Range extender, Netgear tech support (which I could reach relatively easily) came to the conclusion that due to an incompatability of the chipsets, the 802T would not work with the wn834 router!!
I purchased a Belkin "g" range extender which set up easily and works fine.
The 802T might work as an "access point", but it sure didn't work as a range extender. Bought the 802T on ebay and am stuck with it. Buy from
Amazon!
Easy set up? [Posted on 2008-07-04]
Mine must just be crap out of the box - It seems easy enough to set up yet connects to only another access point print server (when lucky - Netgear, this one was a piece of cake) not the network router/ wireless/ Internet (also Netgear Rangemax Next Gigabit)
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM, IT IS JUNK. [Posted on 2008-08-14]
My husband has a computer business and has purchased 5 of these devices for various customers. Each and every one of them have failed. Three of them within the 3 months Netgear will provide free support for and two of them after 1 year.
When they work they don't work so well, a lot of disconnects, and network not found. Working with support stated that too many wireless networks in a congested area will cause this. Understandable, but hardware failures are not understandable.
Out of the five of them, Netgear has replaced the three that failed withing the 90 period and they have been taken out of service since then. There were too many network disconnects to be useful.
When they fail the power light comes on, but nothing else. No network light when the cat5 cable is plugged into it, nor does the wireless work on the device either.
My husband made the mistake of purchasing them when they were fairly new and paid over 170.00 per. What a mistake. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS AS IT IS JUNK.
