Summary: Nice product but NO technical support
Review: After fiddling with the unit for a couple of nights I finally got it to work. It would not auto detect and I had to enter the MAC address and IP address manually. I tried to call technical support and gave up after 30+ minutes on hold. They had NO help on their web site for that model and my e-mails were left unanswered. When I tried the built in help I was told my computer does not have the proper language installed. So we will wait for the Cisco unit due out in a few weeks. I know they have support available.

Summary: Works well.
Review: After reading the documentation, installation was fairly easy. Good signal strength between my downstairs office and upstairs living room, even though it's not a direct line of sight. Works well with other cards (I've got a D-Link and a Compaq). Overall, I'd say it works well.

Review: Best deal going if you want a decent SOHO wireless AP

Summary: Good product
Review: D-Link have a good product. It worked flawlessly with my 4-port Linksys router and one D-link wireless LAN card in my notebook. The documentation is poor. It's a good looking product and I plan to use it in my company. The price is also good, compared to other manufacturers like Compaq and 3COM. I can't also wait for the USB adapter.

Summary: Do Not buy!!!
Review: D-link tech support is a joke. I bought this unit and it worked great. Then I loaded the latest Firmware (vers 22) which is supposed to enable 128 bit wep encryption and then the troubles began. I can no longer stay connected to the unit when there's any kind of traffic through the 1000AP. I called tech support and they couldn't provide an answer. They said they never heard of this problem, yet I have read of many instances of this on the Net. They don't keep any older versions or original versions of their Firmwares on hand or on their website (how ridiculous is that!) Version .20 is the oldest and has provided a little more stability but with any kind of traffic, your connection keeps dropping. They said I could send it in but no guarantees. I will never buy another D-link product again!

Summary: Excellent hardware - poor documentation
Review: fantastic range in my ranch house. The windows program that configures the AP is confusing but if you read over and over again you'll understand. Dont bother installing unless you really understand the docs. It is a great deal. Remember one thing: The AP, your computers and the 10Mbit ethernet LAN which is connected to the LAN are on the same subnet!!! This is only a bridge which essentially is an addressable hub!

Summary: Good, entry level system.
Review: First of all, I like this device. It was simple to configure and install, and has been trouble free for half a year. I installed one in one of our smaller field offices, and liked it so much, I bought one for my house.That being said, it doesn't seem to have the range that some of the "more professional" systems do, but then, it is also a fraction of the price. I think that this system is the best "SOHO" catagory Access Point available. I do have a couple of gripes, though. There should be a better "locking" mechanism for the power cord. It knocks out too easily, and brings the network down. It is kind of funny because they provide you with mounting screws, and suggest you mount it high, which leave the power cable dangling precariously. That said, I think that this is a "nit", and can be worked around by mounting it in a low traffic area.

Review: First of all, while I'm a dedicated Amazon evangelist, go buy this somewhere else: Amazon is charging twice as much as what I bought it for by doing a simple search for it on CNET. Prices have gone up again, but you will still do better elsewhere. This product is a little difficult to configure. (Anyone with a decent amount of networking knowledge should have no problems though.) The only serious problem is it does not pick up an IP address from DHCP, as advertised; assigning one manually to the access point is required. For WEP, make sure to use the hex translation of your password for both the access point and any cards. In one of the more glaring examples of designing products without keeping the customer in mind, D-Link's algorithms for translating string passwords to their hex equivalent is different on their access points and their cards! So you could have typed in the same password on both your D-Link access point and your D-Link wireless card (let's say the 650 - only $40 at Office Max), and your connection would fail. Range is quite limited; another customer was quite accurate when he/she said that you have to treat access point manufacturers like cordless phone manufacturers: don't believe their range claims. Buy this product elsewhere, try it out, and return it if you don't like the range. I would bet it would be sufficient for most people.
