Maximum effective throughput 1Mbps.......2004-10-05
Disappointing.......2004-05-12
- Sometimes doesn't work, and restarting it through the configuration page doesn't help. Needs to be restarted by powering it off and back on.
- Terribly buggy javascript in the web configuration pages. The AP cannot be configured with a standards compliant browser like Mozilla, and requires the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer (and even MSIE complains about lots of javascript errors). That also means you need to have a Windows computer to be able to configure the AP.
- When filtering Mac addresses, doesn't give you the Mac address of a new computer in the drop-down list, so you could easily add it to the allowed clients. You have to disable filtering, restart the AP, connect to it from the new client, add the MAC address from the drop-down list, and finally re-enable MAC filtering. The alternative to this ridiculously convoluted procedure is to add the new MAC address by hand.
- SNMP doesn't seem to work. It can be configured with IP addresses for SNMP traps, but seems to never send anything there.
Finally found out why Dlink products dont work.......2004-04-27
A tech for Dlink finally admited to me on the phone that when we purchase the latest and greatest G class routers and access points to create a wireless network, why we cannot get it to work even with tech support.
It is because of Tech support. Simple reason is that they are not up to speed on the glitches and major details needed to get us going. He actually admited that to me.
Besides the poor manuels, the company did not train the techs as well as they should have. New Technology folks!
To us, it is something better and faster and we jump on it like children to candy. New and Improved in advertising has been tempting us for generations and we jump in before they get the bugs out. This is why some work easy and some dont.
It all depends on a thousand variables.
If we dont have the patience to wait until they get all the bugs out, we will have to suffer on the phone with tech support.
We are in a sense the beta testers for the various tech support teams.
We can only blame ourselves in this particular instance.
Good at what it does ..........2004-02-19
I recently bought a DI-624 Wireless Router and ended up selling my DWL-2000APs and buying a DWL-G810 to connect to my switch in the back room. The G810 was made for that reason, to bridge a wireless network to a wired one. The DWL-2000AP was made for bridging, or as a stand alone AP. it also has the functionality to be a client, but only with other 2000APs. Makes sense.
If you want to connect a switch with multiple wired devices on it, to a wireless network get a DWL-G810 from D-Link.
Does not work with the DI-624; product description incorrect.......2004-02-13
I have two separate networks in my house - one on each end. Network A consists of the D-Link DI-624 Wireless Router which is wired to a DSL modem and a computer. The other network, Network B, consists of two computers and a network print server wired together via a 10/100 switch.
I bought the DWL-2000AP based on the fact that one of its operating modes is that of a wireless client. (Wireless client mode allows a wired computer [or more via a switch] to communicate with another access point wirelessly ... at least that is my understanding.) The wireless client mode should allow me to connect Network B to Network A so that computers on Network B have access to the Internet. Furthermore, D-Link's product description web page clearly indicates that the DWL-2000AP works with the DI-624 wireless router.
After enabling the wireless client mode and configuring it to communicate with my DI-624 router, the two devices connected and I had full Internet access for all of my computers. This worked flawlessly...until activity between the DI-624 and the DWL-2000AP ceased for more than five minutes. Thinking that I had configured something incorrectly, I checked my settings, and restarted the DWL-2000AP via its built-in web pages. Viola... it worked! Again, I browsed the Internet, and paused to read. And again, with no activity between the DWL-2000AP and the DI-624, the connection dropped.
I investigated this issue for the better part of a Sunday afternoon, testing various configurations, but to no avail. I then emailed D-Link technical support and got a response within two hours indicating that I should call the support hotline due to the complexity of my issue.
I called. After 25 min on hold (the call is toll-free), a support specialist answered, logged my issue, and walked me through a series of checks, but was unable to correct the problem.
Lastly, the support specialist indicated that the wireless client mode was only supported from one DWL-2000AP to another. This, however, did not make any sense to me since the DWL-2000AP supports point-to-point, and point-to-multi-point bridging with another DWL-2000AP. Why add a proprietary wireless client mode if you already have a proprietary wireless bridging mode? Realizing that the issue was beyond his remedy, I thanked him for his help and hung up.
Obviously, based on how the device behaved for me, the DWL-2000AP was quite capable of communicating with the DI-624 router without issue. I temporarily resolved my disconnecting issue with a home-brewed Windows app that sent out a ping to the router every 4 minutes. This kept the connection alive so that communication was maintained. Since I was able to resolve the disconnecting problem, I believed that D-Link had a firmware bug and that the issue would probably be corrected in a future firmware update. (I guess I'm too optimistic.)
A few days later, I was checking D-Link's support site for updates, and noticed that a firmware update for the DWL-2000AP had been posted. When I updated the firmware, the WAP and the router ceased communicating with each other altogether. Again I phoned D-Link tech support.
I explained to the support specialist what my issue was, how I was able to temporarily resolve it, and asked when would D-Link have a correction. The support specialist vehemently indicated that the DWL-2000AP would only function with another DWL-2000AP in wireless client mode, and that there were no plans for supporting any other device with the DWL-2000AP in that mode.
At that point I realized that my complaint was moot, and that, although D-Link was sitting on a gold mine if they supported what I asked, they did not care.
After I hung up the phone, I promptly RMA'd the wireless D-Link products I bought and returned them.
I researched my issue further and found that Netgear easily supported my networking needs.
It's sad to know that a networking company has the hardware capable of supporting your needs, but is not interested in doing so. I'll think twice before buying D-Link wireless products again no matter how nice the price might be.

Product Description
You love the convenience of recharging your mobile phone in your car. But you're sick of battling the ever-tangled power cord. What a mess! What's more, the number-one problem with ordinary phone charges is cord breakage! With all the tangling, there's a ton of wear and tear on the cord. You put a lot of pressure on the contacts each time your pull the phone towards you. Plus most users pull on the charger's cord when removing the charger. Your charger is just not designed to handle all this abuse.Ordinary charges aren't smart. In fact, they have no brains at all. Just a signal voltage circuit that slams your battery with voltage even after it's 100% charged. This creates excess heat in your battery. The heat overcharges your battery, dramatically shortening battery life and charge retention.Monster's Stealth Retractable Car Phone Charger is compact in size and features a unique new, retractable power cord for the ultimate convenience. Since the cord retracts, you'll automatically pull on the housing not the cord, to remove the charger for the cigarette lighter. This prevents cord breakage and ensures longer charger life.Monster's Smart Digital Charger technology provides ultra fast recharges, and consistently delivers the exact amount of charge needed, providing maximum battery performance. Once the battery's reached for capacity, the charger switches to a low current. This babies your battery and keeps it topped off, even during phone use.The Monster Mobile Stealth Retractable Car Phone Charger delivers the fastest, most convenient cellular charge when you're on the road. Your car will be tidy and your phone battery healthy. Happy commuting.

Philips 42FD9935/17 42" Flat-Panel Plasma EDTV
Manufacturer: Philips ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics Accessories: Product Features:
ASIN: B0000SWRM6 |
Product Description
The high light output of this PDP Plasma FlatTV delivers exceptional detail even in well lit rooms. High Contrast delivers increased depth to the picture, resulting in greater dimensionality (more 3D or life-like). In addition, the greater contrast delivers a picture that is far less washed out in appearance.At less than 4 inches thick, this FlatTV offers more screen in less space than ever before Thanks to its Fanless Design, no fan noise distracts during those quieter moments in the Video.The television receiver provides display of television closed captioning in accordance with 15.119 of the FCC rules. This FlatTV is meant to be the video portion of a complete system or the display device in commercial applications - as such it has no speakers.Amazon.com Product Description
A stately monitor for your PC or DTV set-top receiver, the Philips 42FD9935/17 is less than 4 inches deep and boasts 160-degree viewing angles, an antireflective screen, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and a high brightness rating of 650 cd/m3. With a native pixel resolution of 852 x 480, the EDTV (enhanced-definition) display offers a number of high-resolution inputs, including a pair of VGA/PC inputs and a direct-digital DVI-HDTV connection for use with an external HDTV receiver. The screen has no NTSC or ATSC tuners of its own, so for television viewing you must an use optional DTV receiver or Philips' FTR9965 electronic box (E-Box), which brings dual NTSC tuners and numerous picture enhancements.With a plasma screen you get vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the 42FD9935/17 is a mere 3.5 inches deep, perfect for wall mounting with the supplied mounting kit or desk mounting with an optional stand.
Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems. You do, however, need to be wary of image burn-in (wherein long-held stationary images leave a permanent impression in the screen), though the 42FD9935/17 features technology designed to shift the picture every 5 minutes to avoid this effect and to prolong the life of the screen.
When used in conjunction with the FTR9965 E-Box, the display offers picture enhancements such as Pixel Plus, Digital Natural Motion, Digital Crystal Clear, and Active Control technology as well as 3D Y/C digital comb filter. The E-Box--the size of a typical home theater component--provides NTSC tuning, high-quality video processing, video inputs and other features. By connecting the E-Box, you can enjoy double-window, 2-tuner PIP (picture-in-picture) to view 2 images simultaneously on a split screen.
What's in the Box
Plasma monitor, remote control, remote batteries, wall-mounting bracket, and a user's manual.

Mission m3c2i 2-Way Center Channel Loudspeaker, Cherry
Manufacturer: Mission ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics Product Features:
ASIN: B000ARG2TQ |
Product Description
Carefully timber matched to the m3i series acoustic characteristics, the m3c2i center channel loudspeaker provides excellent clarity and dynamic performance in home cinema installations for screen based dialog and effects.s.Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy warm, rich dialogue while watching your favorite DVDs with the Mission m3c2i two-way center channel loudspeaker. Designed to tonally match any of Mission's m3i series speakers in a home theater installation, the center speaker provides excellent clarity and dynamic performance whether you're viewing a big-budget action spectacle or a sophisticated, conversation-heavy indie. The speaker owes its crisp audio characteristics to its twin 3.93 DiaDrive bass units, which integrate seamlessly with the 1-inch Viotex fabric dome tweeter to ensure wide bandwidth and fine detailing. In fact, the resulting frequency response of 56 Hz to 20 kHz is superior to that of many competing center speakers, including Mission's own m3c1i.The speaker's i-series crossover, meanwhile, takes into account the baffle diffraction effect to give a more open and detailed midrange performance, with superior integration between the drivers for smoother treble output. The crossovers are wired with Mission's special HP-OFC (high-purity oxygen-free copper) cable, which features dedicated bass and treble formulations to further enhance the audio clarity. In addition, the speaker's five-way gold-plated binding posts guarantee a pure, distortion-free signal that won't degrade over time.
Listeners can locate the cherry-finished m3c2i on or near almost any TV or monitor, and its high sensitivity and easy-drive characteristics make it suitable for most A/V receivers. The speaker, which measures 16.9 by 6.4 by 9.1 inches (W x H x D), handles an amp load of 25 to 125 watts and is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
What's in the Box
