No WPA Security in Bridge Mode!.......2005-12-22

The NG102 works like it should--with one exception that I've found. If you set it up in Bridge Mode, it will NOT work with WPA security--you can only use the inferior WEP security.

WEP can be cracked in under 24 hours (the netgear helpfiles built into the WG102 setup pages even say this), but they still force you to use WEP security when bridging.

Additionally, Netgear's tech support is ABYSMAL. I have submitted several trouble tickets with questions, and it sometimes takes them TWO WEEKS to reply--and even then they did not give a reasonable answer to my question, they gave a stock answer to something I didn't ask. The user suport forum is much better, but you're not guaranteed to get any help there, either.

*** UPDATE: 12/27 - I'd like to downgrade this product to ONE STAR! ***

This access point would lock up at least once a day. The only solution was to unplug the power and plug it back in.

I found it had particular difficulty when trying to transfer files over the local network and when running internet speed tests (such as www.speakeasy.net/speetest). Somehow they seemed to confuse or overwhelm the access point, and it had to be hard-reset. Neither of those activities should have caused it any trouble at all--especially not this (much more expensive) "business-class" access point.

After spending way too much time troubleshooting the problem, I have finally given up and will return it.

Works as it should.......2005-12-10

This product works as it should. I run a linux server off of my cable modem. I've tried multiple consumer priced wireless routers, but they all (3 of them!) had lock-up issues or slowness. I now have a complete "Netgear blue box" solution- the FR114P wired router with the WG102 wireless access point connected to it. I also have a Netgear GS108 gigabit switch. All are attached to my Motorola SB5100 cable modem. No lockups and my server is working wonderfuly well (I serve email and web for a handful of relatives.) It seems that this wireless access point is a bit more expensive than it should be, but I'm glad to finally have reliable networking! Now to get a wireless print server...

Does the job, but..........2007-09-14

It (or a combination of it and my wireless router) intereferes with bluetooth. Now if I want to use the bluetooth on my phone, I have to unplug all this stuff ;(. VERY ANNOYING!!! Installation took 3 hours with 2 different reps. D-link customer service is outstanding, by the way. Also, my download speed seems to be limited to 75 kbps on the WAP end. Upload is more than double that, which is wierd. Looks like I need another few hours on the phone with tech support.

Bottom line...works kinda well when you actually get it set up. However, getting it set up can be an exercise in patience. Expensive for the speeds I'm seeing :(

Flexible and Secure.......2007-09-03

I have tried several different units (entry level) for bridging and these units were the only ones that allowed me to setup a bridge with WPA2. Lots of options for various types of setups and very stable. The stock ant. provided a good connection, but since these will only be bridging 2 networks, I also grabbed a set of DWL-M60AT Directional Indoor Antenna's to limit my broadcast area and boost my signal strength. I bought a few extra units to use as Access Points and they have good coverage & stability. They are a few bucks more more than some other units on the market, but you get what you pay for!

D-Link = Bad quality = terrible customer support.......2007-08-28

Too bad I cannot give d-link 0 stars. Several hours on my own, then 3 hrs with customer's support - level one - from India, then level 2 from US, then supervisors of level 2 - doesn't work. Just bought linksys - setup in 5 minutes, works great. Conclusion - I will never buy d-link again, and wouldn't recommend you either.

this is an excellent product.......2007-06-27

this access point is very fast, faster than my cable connection. it has a great range and it is very easy to set up, plug and play.

Good value........2007-03-09

We purchased two of these AP's to use for a point to point bridge, using 24 db gain antennas over about a quarter mile hop. We mounted the AP's in weathertight 8"x8"x4" boxes along with dLink POE's, all outdoors on a mast just behind the antennas. This eliminated the need to extend the Antenna's wires inside. It also eliminated considerable loss we would have encountered in running longer antenna wires.

The units have worked flawlessly since install. Our daytime high temperatures were 100 degrees max, winter low temperatures have been -20 degrees. We are operating at the minimal power setting for the AP-2100 without suffering throughput, put there is no way of verifying this.

If I could have one more feature, it would be some sort of signal strength indicator, along with some way of testing for data throughput.

Nevertheless, I would recommend a similar installation to anyone needing to bridge two LAN's together. We have just purchased a third DWL-2100 as a backup because we've gotten quite hooked on the system and would now be distressed if it should go out (due to lightning, etc.) So the the third unit is a backup, still sealed in its origional box.

Reliable, has many features, and is a solid performer.......2006-07-09

It had the latest firmware and wireless protocols installed, and the web-based configuration interface has well organized pages of setup options. The Help pages are actually helpful. As with any networking device it is good to be a little familiar with TCP/IP so you can handle minor annoyances like giving your computer a temporary static IP address in the same subnet range as the DWL-7100AP so you can communicate with it during configuration (This is explained in the manual). Afterwards, I was able to change my computer back to dynamic IP addressing, and still access the configuration pages of the DWL-7100AP. It will work just fine right out of the box with default settings, but as with any wireless access point, better security can be had by creating your own SSID name, disabling broadcast of the SSID, changing the default user ID and password, using MAC filtering so that only your computers will be accepted by the access point, and enabling data encryption. The DWL-7100AP allows you to use two kinds of WPA encryption, which is much more secure than WEP. I highly recommend this product and it's well-written manual. Some users report having their connection dropped frequently. I found that interference from 2.4 Gigahertz portable telephones in my house was the culprit for dropped connections on the 802.11g band, which is in the same frequency band as the phones. Since I switched to the 802.11a band (5 Gigahertz) I very seldom have dropped connections from the DWL-7100AP.

A disaster.......2006-04-11

This is probably the most awful wireless device I've bought to date. Not only does it reboot itself every few hours, but it drops packets at a horrific rate. Looking at the stats, it says it only has a 20% transmission success rate... my wireless devices are in the same room! The only positive is when it is working, it streams media without so much a hiccup.

good performance.......2006-01-22

I use two of these on the 11a band as bridges between two wired networks. They are 30 feet apart and can see each other down a hallway with obstructions that nearly block the line of sight from both sides. I have both set on quarter power. The status indicates no errors on either direction.

The manual that came with the equipment leaves a lot to be desired. For instance, it did not say that WAP-PSK TKIP mode is not available for bridges, just access points.

DWL-7100 AP as an AP Client is terrible.......2005-12-18

I'm not sure how the 7100 is supposed to work as a repeater but as an AP Client linked with the DI-784 it simply won't stay connected. I'm running the latest firmware on both devices,DWL-7100ap is running v2.00 and teh DI-784 is running v2.38. I've tried multiple configs for the encryption, different radio channels while the 2 devices are only sitting 2ft apart and it still won't keep a connection.

Tech support isn't helpful either, long hold times and operators that don't actually listen to the problem.

I can't reccomend this product, I think one star is still too many stars.

Replaced a LinkSys 802.11a+b access point.......2004-08-26

I upgraded from a LinkSys 802.11a+g PCI card in my daughter's computer to a DLink 802.11a+g card. At that time, I had a LinkSys 802.11a+b access point. The signal strenght jumped from very low to good. I believe this is due to the antenna design of the DLink PCI card. It is separate from the circuit card and connects with a 6' cable. This allows placement of the antenna on top of a computer desk hutch instead of on the back of the computer which may be on the floor.

I thought that if I upgraded the access point to a DLink I'd see another jump in signal strenght. I also wanted to pick up the 802.11g standard that my LinkSys access point was missing.

The upgrade from the LinkSys access point to the DLink did not provide any noticable improvement in signal quality. The signal strenght to the DLink PCI card was still only good. I did get 802.11g which helps with the business laptop I have but I was hoping for a little bit better signal strenght which was not found.

The firmware on the access point was old and I did have to download and apply an update. I had no problems doing this but have a lot of experience since I manage a network at work with over 200 802.11b access points (Symbol & Cisco).

Overall, I love the DLink PCI card (802.11a/b/g) and like the DLink access point. Being one of the cheap access points out I'd recommend it to any one looking for a wireless solution.

Don't waste your money.......2007-01-19

This overpriced Access Point's performance has been nothing but disapointing. I ended up purchasing a much cheaper Linksys Wireless G router that out-performs, wireless signal is more consistent, and is much easier to configure. Once setup, the D-Link wireless network signal would come and go, even at close ranges. The DHCP capabilities would work sometimes, and other times it would not. I would not waste money on this Access Point, which was four times as much in cost as the Cisco/Linksys Wireless G.

Great for Repeating and Extending Wireless Network.......2006-12-18

You guys who use WEP/WPA etc are idiots... use MAC address filtering, and you don't need to use login/passwords. the MAC address filter will stop anyone attempting to connect from getting a IP address at ALL.

Anyways, I use the DWL-G810 as a wireless repeater to extend the range of my wireless net work, works great. Out house is 4,800 sq ft, and it's difficult to pass wireless signal from upstairs on one side of the house to downstairs on the other side, and this device placed half way point downstairs easily extends the network.

No experience using it as a bridge.

Item is EOL and has a bios error.......2005-09-09

This particular product has a bios error on the board which causes the connection to reset. The product is also past End Of Life with D-Link, so they provide no support to remedy this problem. Purchase at your own risk.

D-Link DWL-G810 sucks.......2005-08-19

This Wireless bridge completely sucked. The firmware was buggy never saved my information. It said it supported WPA which it did not have any fields for it. If i did get it to connect to my access point it would immediately disconnect. D-Link had always cool looking devices. This was a square plastic cheap box with a giant D on the front of it and a big annoying light on the front. This product could use a lot of redesign. Specially the firmware. I would not recommend for a wireless bridge.

Does not play well with others.......2005-08-08

Stay away if you plan on using this with a Linksys router. Nothing I tried, over the span of two days, would get the thing to work for more than two minutes. Even putting the unit next to the router, 2 inches away, and it couldn't see it half the time, the other half it'd drop 90% of the packets.

Your mileage may vary, but note that this isn't the only review to highlight issues with Linksys routers.
