Summary: Wireless Bridge works like a charm with Replay TV
Review: Just configure the DWL-G810 on your wireless router. As soon as the router sees the product, just plug it into your Replay TV/entertainment appliance and switch connection to use ethernet connection. Replay TV modem downloads take 5-7 minutes. With the DWL-G810, downloads are fast, under 1 minute. Very pleased with this product

Summary: No compatible with other 802.11g D-Link products
Review: My experience with this product was miserable. I ordered the DI-624 wireless router, DWL-G810 wireless bridge, and DWL-650 Cardbus adapter in the hopes that replacing my current 802.11b infrastructure would be easier with a single-source solution. I was very, very wrong.This product simply did not work with the DI-624 wireless router which supposedly was based on the same standards as the DWL-G810 (802.11g). After tech support recommended I install the _beta_ firmware upgrade, this device lost 1 out of every 2 packets received from the router. This after struggling with this machine for 3+ hours just to get it to connect to the router. My NetGear replacement equipment installed in 1 hour flat with equivalent components (WRT-624, WGE-101, and WG511T), instead of the 10+ hours I struggled with the D-Link products.

Summary: Working perfect (with right settings!)
Review: OK. I have DI-624, DWL-G650 and DWL-G810.
I connected my KISS DP-500 Network DVD to the DWL-G810 and everything is working perfect, but you will need to work with settings for a few minutes. DI-624: Firmware - 2.42
Open System
WEP Disabled (#1)
TX Rate - Auto
Transmit Power - 100%
Beacon - 100
RTS - 2346
Fragmentation - 2346
DTIM - 1
Preamble - Short
SSID Broadcast - Disabled (#2)
802.11g only - Disabled
CTS - Auto
Super G Mode - Super G with Dynamic Turbo DWL-G810: Firmware - 2.12
Static IP
No Gateway Address (#3)
Infrastructure mode
WEP Disabled (#1)
TX Rate - Auto
Authentication - Open System
Super Mode - Super G with Dynamic Turbo #1 - First you can try with security settings disabled and later you can enable security.
#2 - Guys: broadcast SSID is NOT necesary! No security issues!
#3 - this is the key! Unplug both devices and it's done!

Summary: Worthless
Review: This isn't a wireless bridge, it's a wireless jammer. It works for about 60 seconds, bridging flawlessly, and then it jams my access point hopelessly (it won't work again until the DWL-G810 is turned off for good and the access point is power cycled). And this is after flashing the unit with the latest firmware. The firmware that shipped on the unit was 2.13, which the D-Link website says is beta firmware and not to be used for anything but testing. Say what? They shipped that?
I should note that I tried it with WPA encryption. The unit may work better with no encryption, or perhaps with WEP. But those modes are unacceptable, especially in an 802.11g network, where you expect WPA as a matter of course.
Beware this unit, unless you're in the market for an 802.11g jammer.

Summary: Interchangable firmware
Review: This may (or may not) void your warranty, but the firmware on this product (DWL-G810) and the AP product (DWL-G800AP) is interchangable. This may be more useful for people who purchase the AP/Repeater product and find it useless (since the repeater is only compatible with a few select D-Link products).
I purchased a DWL-G800AP by mistake, intending to purchase this product. I'm happy to say that, after switching firmware, I'm bridging my network at 54mb/sec. The web interface even says DWL-G810 on it. All thanks go to D-Link for keeping production costs low by introducting two identicle products and marketing them in different ways!

Summary: Configuration hassles galore
Review: Unlike other wifi products I've use, this one is a total pain to configure. First, to connect to the device with the web interface you have to manually configure the IP address of the computer you are using. (The device doesn't do DHCP to the system plugged into the 100baseT port). Futhermore, the device doesn't have the option to get it's address and gateway information on the wifi side of the bridge using DHCP either. What this means in practice is that you must hand configure the IP addresses on both sides of the bridge and on the computer you use to configure it. All the talk about easy configuration assumes that you're using exclusively DLink products so all the defaults happen to work. Finally, there is no signal strength tool so if you have a connection problem you cannot optimize the placement of the router and the G810. The documentation does not explain the situation well, and the tech support took a long time. (At least they finally put someone on the phone who knew the product) Two thumbs WAY down...

Summary: Easy to set up and Use
Review: You can't expect products to do everything for you. If you don't have your network on the subnet 192.168.0.X then you need to at least make the PC you are going to use to configure this device to work in that subnet. It's real easy, you just go to advanced options and add the IP 192.168.0.2 to be your PC. I was able to plug this into my router, access the web based interface, change the IP and wireless info to connect to my DI-624, and I was done. It took a total of five minutes. After setting everything right I unplugged it from the router and plugged it into my switch which sits in my entertainment center with my xbox, tv, and broadband videophone. Now all my devices in my entertainment system can be connected to my network. all thanks to this wireless bridge. The speeds are the same as wired, and I see no difference from connecting these with one long Cat-5 cable, except I don't have to have cabling on the ground. This is definitely worth it's price.
