Product DescriptionFor users seeking a simple solution to improve the reach of their wireless signal within their home or office, the DWL-G710 is the answer. This Wireless Range Extender takes an existing 802.11g wireless signal and ?repeats? it to enable wireless connectivity in the basement, patio, garage or any ?dead spot? areas where your original wireless signal could not reach. It's capable of repeating the signal of virtually any 802.11g wireless router or access point out on the market today. At the same time, the DWL-G710 can still communicate with other 802.11b/g wireless client devices.

The extender is easy to set up and works really well at extending the range of the wireless network. I needed the extender to reach a mac on the 2nd floor (while the router is in the basement) and it did as promised. I had some questions for technical support and the folks at D-Link were very helpful.
Rating: - Excellent product with caution
This repeater works excellently but it is important to read reviews and follow the hints. It then works very, very, well. I use it to repeat the wireless connection to our basement for my PS3. Where I was getting a 40% connection I now get 90-100%.
Rating: - Fine product / awful documentation
The repeater/range extender works perfectly once set up. However, the instructions will never tell you how to set it up. You need to do an online web search for the product and how to install it in order to have any chance. You must assign a constant ip address to your computer before you start or else nothing will ever happen.
The only other problem I had is not the extender's fault. We have a portable telephone system which blocks almost everything that runs on 2400. So I have ... Read More

I was very excited about this product as I did my research. I knew it will not be easy to set (no plug and play here), but I was ready for it. But what a nightmare it turned out to be. I set it up, screwed up my wi-fi set up, called the support service 3 times, who ended up telling me to call my service provider as it was not their fault. Then I had to deal with a 3rd vendor, and so on. The whole thing was a mess. Finally after several hours on the phone, D-link support told me that the product was ... Read More

I bought this product for two reasons. First, I needed a universal extender since my Linksys woudl not work with our new modem/router. Second, the user reviews and installation hints were consistent and clear.
It took 10 minutes to set up and has worked like a charm. If you need a universal extender, especially if you have the latest Ambit modem/router combo installed by Time Warner, then this is the one!
Follow other's advice and do not use the disk to install...not necessary.
