Summary: Easy Install and Works Great
Review: First off I would like to congradulate D-Link of such a fine product. I recently bought this product and I have had little trouble at all.I first went to set-up the Access Point and it is fairly easy, I just plugged in the power source and then to my switch via eathernet cable and i already had a wireless adapter in my laptop so all i had to do was change the info on my laptop as stated in the manual that came with the Access Point and i was able to surf the internet from my couch without any wires in my way. I felt like I was in a commercial. This is the type of thing you only see on TV. I was amazed I could do it myself, is such a short time. Highly Recommended to anyone who doesn't want to run wires throughout their home.

Summary: Great for extending my existing wireless network
Review: I added the DWL-1000AP to my existing network (DI-713P & DWL-650) to gain some more distance (want to surf in backyard). After configuring the access point through a hardwired connection, I was able to put the 1000AP downstairs with no problems. Now I can surf the 'Net from the backyard and soak in some rays.

Summary: I'm Impressed!!!
Review: I admit, I'm an engineer by heart, a web/app developer by trade, and a network hobbist (no MCSE's in my plans). However, I do own a small business. I develop web/app solutions for my customers. So when one of them wanted to install their LAN using wireless, I was a bit skeptical. I was leaning toward CAT-5, but he insisted on wireless because he thouht it would be cool. HE WAS RIGHT! He has a small office with only a few workstations, but plans are for more users with laptops. The range is suprising good and installation was a snap. Using Win2k Server and Win98 Clients. Now that the price has dropped, I'm thinking about re(un)wiring my office!!!

Summary: Your Average Computer Buff
Review: I am pretty big on computers and evolving technology, but I don't have any labs or testing software to tell you the exact numbers on how well this access point performed for me. So I am just gonna tell my experience. I wanted to extend my little network here at home to include my laptop. The whole purpose of a laptop is mobility, so a wireless connection to my other computers and the Internet are pretty much mandatory. The setup was fairly easy thanks to the documentaion provided with the product and reviews I have read throughout the Internet. As far as speed goes, I can tell the difference when trasfering files between my computers here at home, but downloading from the Internet doesn't seem much slower or faster. The amount of features are plenty for an average user like myself and I especially like the design. It fits nicely into anyones home.

Summary: A very good access point but poor documentation
Review: I am very satisfied with the D-LINK access point, once installed that is ! Thanks to Scott's review, I quickly checked the second manual and realized that I could configure the DWL-1000AP via the Ethernet link. I was unable to configure it via my laptop with a RoamAbout wireless PCMCIA card, either via automatic detection or manually. Once configured, it worked as a charm. The only problem is that Encryption is not compatible between my Roamabout card and the DWL-1000AP ... As Scott, I would rate the documentation as a 2, and the AP as a 5, for an overall rating of 4. Hadn't I been a software engineer, I'd have been frustated trying to configure the AP ...

Summary: Excellent product
Review: I bought the 1000AP wireless access point and the DWL 605 pc card. The installation of both took place in literally 5 minutes and I was up and running from my couch.
I would recommend these products to anyone from the novice to the expert who is interested in a wireless home network.

Summary: pretty good but buyer beware
Review: i bought the DWL-1000AP mostly because of the reviews in various PC mags. i read the amazon customer reviews as well but its a pretty mixed bag ... in addition i bought the DWL-650 and DWL-120 adapters. i thought i would keep the wireless net all one manufacturer to minimize finger pointing. like the droptiks reviewer i connected up to my existing linksys router. the comments in that review were okay except for a few additional things. you NEED a direct connect to the router to configure the 1000AP. dont forget to disable any existing ethernet adapters as the 120 and 650 dont play well with others. the documentation is minimal at best and the web site is almost useless. i had to call tech support to iron out a few things including how to re-initialize the 1000AP if you wanted to clear all stored settings. you need to find a paper clip or something like it and insert the end into the small hole beneath the power and ethernet cables. press in, pull power cable out, keep pressing, put power cable in, release paper clip, cycle power again. oh and each time you execute a step wait for 20 seconds before going to the next. i was on hold for an hour but i persevered and everything is working pretty good. i had to move the 1000AP a little as its signal degrades when it has to go through walls. if you can locate the 1000AP in a central location with minimal obstacles between it and your computers the more likely you will have success using this device. as an end note, i took a power glitch (less than a sec) and the wireless net went down. i had to cycle power on the dsl modem, linksys router AND the 1000AP. if i could, i would have given 3 and a half stars instead of 4. i still think the hardware is great and the price is reasonable. hope this helps.

Summary: Worked for me and I don't doubt it will for You.
Review: I bought this Access Point from D-Link along with some of their other wireless products and everything works great! I have the USB adapter and the PCMCIA card. The Access Point performs with great speed throughout my home where ever I am. Granted I have a relatively small home, but nonetheless it works great for me. Except for my upstairs balcony. The documentation that comes with D-link's Access Point, and the other Wireless products I bought, is very helpful in the little troubles I came across when configuring the products to my perfectionist needs. I would Highly recommend D-Link Wireless Products. It has made my life easier and it is something I can show off to my friends when they come over.

Summary: Nothing Bad about it
Review: I bought this shortly after my work purchased the Wireless PC card for my laptop (DWL-650 I believe) and I have had no troubles since the day I set it up. The Access Point detected my PC card rather quickly and I was suprised how quick I was able to add a wireless connection to my existing home LAN. Recommended to all.

Summary: Simple and Affordable
Review: I got the Wireless Kit...I was able to setup a wireless network in about an hour. The Access Point (AP) was recognized by the wireless adapters very quickly and easily. I have had no problems in my home with this product except for the initial configuration. It took some extra time I wasn't counting on but I was able to resolve my problem with the fine documentation provided. I recommend this product to anyone who is like me and doesn't want to run wires.
