Great for travel.......2007-06-10

I used it while travel state side and overseas. The part I like about it is being able to have one persons room pay for the connection and if close to there room, everybody on your team can share the one paid connection. Also found that its helpful when there is hotels that have wireless connection, but to get a strong signal you have to be near the door and not next to the desk. I switched it to recive from the router to my laptop and took a 50 foot cable with me. Set this unit next to the door, run the cable to the laptop on the desk. Presto strong signal! The ability to use it in multiple applications is great.

Fabulous small.......2007-06-05

Ok the point of a small wireless router is for it to be small wireless and easy to use. This is it. Tiny, simple instructions, simple set up whatever you have. It is great. The only thing that I found useless was the USB power. I mean if you have to hook the thing up to the cable, then if you use the USB power, you have to tether your laptop to it to so it makes this useless as wireless product. I make that point for the sake of making a point. It really doesn't matter at all. The unit works great with its power supply.
PRODUCT DOES WHAT IT SAYS IT WILL DO. NUFF SAID.

Cute, but doesn't do anything.......2007-05-24

It's easy to set up, but then just sits there. No connectivity. No errors. No help or instructions. It askes you to type in addresses in places that do not exist and gives errors to the default settings.
It should not be called easy to use.

diffucult.......2007-05-15

i found the instructions a little unclear and had to fiddle around with it to figure out how it worked

Router mode is flawless, client mode a little tricky.......2007-04-19

I purchased this for two reasons: 1) when I travel, I want to be able to use my PalmTX to connect to the Internet. I configured the Dlink router in Router mode while hooked up to my main computer. Once that was done, I connected the Dlink router to my main router, and I was able to connect my PalmTX to the Dlink easy as pie. However, 2) the other reason why I bought it was to connect an old laptop to my wireless network while in the living room. Configuration was easy, but it would not connect to my wireless network. I sent Dlink tech support an email, and they were quick to respond, but they basically gave me the usual advice--do a hard reset of the router. Which I had already done. Then it dawned on me that I had to switch the network adapter back to grabbing the IP address through DCHP (to access the Dlink config page of the Dlink router, you have to set it to a static IP.). In looking through the comments here, several other people did the same thing as I did. You would think that Dlink tech support would know to tell people to check this in client mode!!!
