Summary: Run, do not walk, away from this dog!
Review: "The default IP address for the DWL-900AP+ is 192.168.0.50 with Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. You will need to assign a Static IP address within the same range as the DWLAP+'s IP Address." Those instructions appear on the first page of D-Link's laughably titled "Quick Installation Guide." If it is intuitively clear to you what you need to do to comply with this directive, you may be able to get this product running. If not, forget about getting any help from tech support. Turn around on e-mail questions is 24 hours, but you will need a minimum of two atttempts to get your question understood. Hold time on phone support is nearly as long, and the techs I finally got through to were not even familiar with the basic features of the product, much less its problems! Finally, unless your network router is also by D-Link, using the DWL-900+'s configuration utility is a pain. It requires changing your computer's IP Address twice, to a static address compatible with the product, and then back to the address required for your network. Not hard, but a real nuisance since you have to restart the computer for each change. There just has to be an easier way to go wireless! Keep looking!

Summary: OK As Access Point, DOES NOT work as a Repeater as Claimed
Review: After 6 phone calls to D-Link tech support, I have determined that this product will not work in a repeater mode as claimed. They could not make it work. Works fine as an access point.

Summary: Nice Access Point for the Price
Review: Easy to setup, simple to configure, strong security, plenty of options, and more.I got this so I could browse the web wirelessly with my laptop, and so far it has worked great. You can really notice the 22Mbps speeds when you have a 22Mbps adapter card. The pictures on the internet make them look sort of big, but they are actually pretty small. Same size as a DI-604 (router) if you have one you know how small. It is smaller than the 614+ if you've seen that one. very easy to use and I recommend it.

Summary: A Great Access Point that Outperforms All Others
Review: Ever since this arrived on my doorstep I've been wondering how I didn't have wireless before. This one AP has so many options it is almost rediculous. I use this just as a straight access point for my laptop and I can be outside on my laptop and still connect at 22Mbps with fast speeds. I've actually been playing games online with my laptop while outside. There are options for this router for RADIUS server settings, 802.11x, WPA, and more advanced options like this. You can do bridging, multi-point bridging, or set this up as a wireless client. You can choose which antenna you want to use (internal or external, or both), you can choose how much power output for the wireless to lower the range to just one room, plus there is a 4x mode which increases your data rates higher if you have other D-Link products. This is simply a very robust and reliable access point that can do so much more than "normal" access points. I like it mainly for it's range, speed, and reliability. I think you will like this AP as well.

Summary: Strong Signal and Simple Install
Review: First I set this up in about 5 minutes and the connection to my laptop was almost instant. Then I tested how far I could be away from this AP and my laptop would still be connected. I was surprised that I could be anywhere in my home. I read so many other reviews that say they had bad range, but this works great in my home. Maybe it all depends on your environment/home/work. Security is strong with the 256-bit WEP and MAC filtering. I think this is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a wireless network and doesn't want to spend a lot of money. Plus you get top shelf security and speed in the 802.11b spectrum.

Summary: Looks cool, but has a lot of problems.
Review: First off, I want to say that setting this thing up isn't that difficult. However, it is mind-numbingly tedious and can be absolutely maddening when you are trying to configure it work with your existing network and end up having to reset it due to making a mistake. Where I ran into problems was after it was setup. My wireless enabled computers where getting kicked off the wireless network on a consistent basis whenever I was trying to download anything large. One example of this is Windows Update... I finally had to resort to plugging an Ethernet cable into my computers in order to finish them. In my opinion, the performance of this adapter is simply unacceptable.

Summary: Nice Feature set and 5 Different Modes of Operation
Review: For a product to be priced the same as other 802.11b Wireless Access Points (WAP) and have 5 different modes of operation, which is like 3 more than others is pretty impressive in its self. To have 5 different options for one product to be is showing that it is ready for the future.
The 5 Modes are:
1) Wireless Access Point - we all know what this is.
2) Wireless Repeater - Will "repeat" another D-Link 802.11b Access Point signal to expand the range of the initial signal without having to buy an external booster antenna.
3) Wireless Client - Will turn your Ethernet card into a Wireless card, basically an Ethernet to Wireless Bridge.
4) Wireless Bridge - You can bridge two LANs with two of these in this mode.
5) Multi-Point Wireless Bridge - You can bridge 3 or more LANs with 3 or more of these in this mode. With all those options you will be covered when it comes to the future, because, as an example, if you ever upgrade your Access Point to a newer product you can still use this to either repeat that signal for a further range, or connet this to an Ethernet port and make this a wireless client. As for the security features, this has everything necessary to make it so no outsiders connect to your WLAN. Disabling broadcasting of the SSID, MAC address filtering, up to 256-bit WEP, and more. I'd recommend this in conjuction with the DI-604 because they are they are the same size and stackable. This is the setup I have and everything works great. I can now be mobile with my laptop and not worry about security, slow speeds, or the future outdating my equipment too quickly.

Summary: Repeater Function Works Just Fine
Review: I bought another one of these to repeat my existing 900AP+'s signal to extend the range of my wireless network. It works great since I set it all up 2 weeks ago. I am not able to go all the way out to my backyard by the pool and still have Internet access on my laptop. This is very convenient when swimming or just laying and you get the urge to look something up on the Internet, but usually you don't because the PC is so far away. Not anymore. I am now able to bring my laptop out with me and maybe watch a DVD outside while I BBQ or just drink with my friends. The repeater function looks like it only repeats other D-Link products. It also brings the speeds down to 11Mbps when you are connected to the network via the repeater. If you can get a signal with the main AP, then you are able to maintain your 22Mbps speeds. Everything else about this AP has worked great for me as well and I'd highly recommend it.

Summary: Great as Point-to-Point Bridge
Review: I bought one of these and so did my neighbor and we set them up in our attics facing each other's homes and now we have one big network to where we can share files, printers, play games and everything. We both have 3 PCs so that when we invite some friends over we can have up to 6 people playing Quake, CS, BF1942, or whatever on our little LAN. His house is directly across the street and we can get everyone playing below a 15 ping at high traffic times. We haven't done any formal testing, but so far everything we throw at it these little boxes can handle. I haven't tried the other modes, but I can verify that the point-to-point bridging works like a charm.
And yes we did notice a speed difference when upgrading the firmware to the latest 4x speeds.

Summary: Excellent Product
Review: I bought this to replace a Netgear ME102 AP that over heated and burned out. I have always thought of D-Link as a lesser brand but this proved me wrong. Easy setup and works with Netgear and USR products. I may have to try other D-Link products.
