Summary: It works
Review: 802.11g speeds. well at least faster than my friends 802.11b network. i don't really know how to "test" the speed, but i know it works and transfers files faster than my friends 802.11b network. this access point offers some good features, but nothing too spectacular. If you find ti for a good price or you all ready have D-Link products i'd go with this access point. heck even if you don't have d-link products get this. it works with Macs since it doesn't need drivers and it all web based.

Summary: Beware - NOT suitable for most Wireless Client applications
Review: As had been plainly mentioned before in an earlier review (which I misinterpreted when buying it), there is a caveat to this product, as confirmed by this unedited quote from D-Link's own Tech Support website:"Note: The only Access Point the DWL-2000AP can be a Wireless Client to is another DWL-2000AP. " This means that it CANNOT be configured as a Wireless Client with your existing Wireless Router, even if your router is D-Link's own! It can only be used in this mode if, for example, you have directly connected a DWL-2000AP into your existing router to serve as your network's Wireless Access Point. Then, and ONLY then, you can buy a 2nd DWL-2000AP and use it as a Wireless Client. This fact is not advertised in the device's technical data page here, nor was it even specified on the box it came in (thus my 2-star rating, mostly for false advertising). So beware this glaring shortcoming. If you're looking for a simple, flexible, single wireless-G client to jack your Ethernet card-equipped device into, try a Linksys WGA54G. It is advertised as a game console adapter, but it actually works great as a basic wireless client for ANY Ethernet device, not just game consoles. I have one working quite well in this role elsewhere in my home using WEP, and will now be buying more of them.

Summary: Not a true client
Review: I bought this AP to be a wireless client for my PS2. Read the fine print, it will only act as a wireless client if you have another dwl-2000ap on your network. I tried and failed to get it to work with a di-624 wireless router. It doesnt make sense to me why they would even advertise this feature if it wont even work with their own products. DLink stated they were working on a firmware upgrade to make it compatible but no word on that yet. I'm going to look at the Linksys wet54g next, hopefully I will have better luck.

Summary: Finally found out why Dlink products dont work
Review: I finally found out why we consumers are suffering with tech support for this product and the same products of other brands. A tech for Dlink finally admited to me on the phone that when we purchase the latest and greatest G class routers and access points to create a wireless network, why we cannot get it to work even with tech support. It is because of Tech support. Simple reason is that they are not up to speed on the glitches and major details needed to get us going. He actually admited that to me.
Besides the poor manuels, the company did not train the techs as well as they should have. New Technology folks! To us, it is something better and faster and we jump on it like children to candy. New and Improved in advertising has been tempting us for generations and we jump in before they get the bugs out. This is why some work easy and some dont.
It all depends on a thousand variables. If we dont have the patience to wait until they get all the bugs out, we will have to suffer on the phone with tech support. We are in a sense the beta testers for the various tech support teams. We can only blame ourselves in this particular instance.

Summary: Good at what it does ...
Review: I had two of these to extend my network across the house without running wires. They are set in bridge mode, and connect and work perfectly with each other. Everything about these were simple and worked when I first tried it. I recently bought a DI-624 Wireless Router and ended up selling my DWL-2000APs and buying a DWL-G810 to connect to my switch in the back room. The G810 was made for that reason, to bridge a wireless network to a wired one. The DWL-2000AP was made for bridging, or as a stand alone AP. it also has the functionality to be a client, but only with other 2000APs. Makes sense. If you want to connect a switch with multiple wired devices on it, to a wireless network get a DWL-G810 from D-Link.

Summary: 128-bit WEP and 54Mbps bandwidth
Review: I plugged this into my router and installed the D-Link DWL-G650 and I was connected to the AP upon start up. Very easy. Then from there I configured the AP to my specifications (128-bit WEP encryption, non-default SSID, and a new admin login) then I was set and secure. I get good speeds, no lag for gaming, and good range. let's just say I can be in the bathroom and online now. :)

Summary: works for me but many might want to get the router instead
Review: I purchased a d-link DWL2000AP right after christmas. I had problems connecting to Comcast but was able to resolve them.
I ended up being impressed with the customer support, it required patience (and a phone with a fully charged battery) but I got
a solution in the end and D-link really seems to care that your problem gets fixed. I would suggest that most users should purchase a router instead
of an access point like the 2000 - it allows you to run a mixed cable/wireless system without worrying about compatibility between an existing router or hub and the dlink. Here's my experience I run a cable modem -> primitive hub -> dlink. I was able to connect and set up the dlink and see a strong wireless signal but was unable to get a dhcp address from my ISP (Comcast). My wired computers had no problems doing this negotiation and my old linksys access point didn't either. I called tech support - it takes > 20 minutes to reach someone. The first rank tech support people were pretty stumped.
The second rank people take another 20 minutes to reach but were quite helpful. They suggested taking the hub out of the system,
this worked and I was able to connect and get a dhcp address. However my wired computers were then cut off as I had removed the hub and had bought the DWL-2000 access point - which only has one output port - rather than the router. I do not believe that this is a failure in the d-link, just a consequence of it having a fixed IP address which Comcast doesn't like. Interestingly - once I had gotten a dhcp address from my ISP, I was able to reconnect the hub and still use the wireless. My bet is that the hub only interferes with the initial assignment of the dhcp address. So after about 2 hours with tech support, I have a system that works just fine. Overall, except for this incompatibility between the dlink/hub and comcast for my somewhat unusual situation, I like the dlink a lot. It was easy to configure and had very powerful diagnostics. I ended up being very impressed with the support. The phone waits were pretty long (it was right after the holidays) and the level 1 technicians knew less about the product than I did by the end of the transaction but the level2 technicians were very good.
I received followup emails - they were not going to close out the service request until I was satisfied. That really impressed me. It's what I've come to expect from my company's excellent internal help desk but I've never seen it from a computer vendor let alone one that sold me something for less than $100 bucks.

Summary: Maximum effective throughput 1Mbps
Review: I tested access with a lot of different wireless PC Cards, PCMCIA, etc, from D-Link, Intel, Dell, LinkSys. including D-Link DWL-G650. The maximum effective throughput I was able to achieve was 1 Mbps. I am using the latest firmware from D-Link (the one they say corrects all the problems). It does not depend on configuration (I tested all possible combinations). It is compatible with any hardware, but with a very poor performance of 1Mbps. So little for a product that promises so much.

Summary: Wireless for Everyone!
Review: If you want easy, fast, and freedom with your wireless network then I suggest you at least check this access point out. D-Link has got a pretty solid reputation with wireless as far as I can see and this AP helps prove that. I can wander all over the place with this AP in my home.
I like the speedy fast 11g speeds when transfing files, or backing up, or streaming media.

Summary: works well, interops with prism2 and airport extreme
Review: just a quick note to agree with others here that this AP is a very nice, small, and easy to use AP. i got this earlier today because my linksys WAP11 was damaged in a move (the ethernet link is flakey, now) and decided to go G. glad i did. i (still) use am 802.11b NIC (lucent orinoco gold) and my girlfriend uses the airport extreme. both work flawlessly with this device. highly reccomended for a simple AP (no integrated router, switch).
