Product Description The D-Link AirPlus® G Wireless Range Extender is the solution for wireless users seeking to expand the signal coverage of their 802.11g wireless network in their home or office. No direct wired connection to the network is necessary - the DWL-G710 runs independently and simply "repeats" the 802.11g wireless signal to hard-to-reach areas. With standard WEP security, data is kept secure from prying eyes. Now, mobile users have greater freedom to roam the home or office and still have wireless access to their network.

Written By jlc2005 Date Written Apr 11 2006 Summary The D-Link DLW-G710 is a major improvement on previous D-Link range extenders. This one uses a built-in wizard to locate a WiFi network and guide the user into setting it up correctly. That said, there are some caveats with this product. When first... Strength Good performance and relative ease of set-up. Weakness "Virtually" all WiFi supported means there will be some incompatibilities. Bottom Line A range extender adds a layer of complexity to any WiFi network but the G710 seems a fair compromise of all considerations, offering good performance and price. Works Great - Easy to set up

Strength Relative ease of setup; performance; cost. Weakness Documentation inconsistent with actual product (both hardware and software). Bottom Line If need to extend the range of your wireless network, I'd strongly recommend that you give the dLink G710 a try. Defective Product & Even Worse Service

Written By TellYaWhat Date Written Jul 20 2005 Summary I purchased the D-Link Range Extender through Best Buy.com. Despite the assurances in the D-Link instruction manual that I would be set up in a few minutes, the range extender would not connect to my network no matter how many ways I tried. I spoke... Strength If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Weakness Too many wasted hours & it messed up my network. Bottom Line Buy a different product. Don't buy D-Link. If you do, keep your receipt so you can return if it doesn't work. Works just fine

Written By chinners Date Written Oct 21 2005 Summary I am a bit surprised at the other reviews here. I have had no problems with the DWL-G710. I selected the DWL-G710 over wireless range extenders from other manufacturers based solely on price. This is the first D-Link product I have owned. I live in an... Strength Simple to configure and use; network cable included; AC adapter does not block other outlets Weakness Site scan function in configuration page is a bit flaky; doesn't support WPA-AES Bottom Line I would recommend this to others and would buy other D-Link products in the future. Update the firmware, pay attention to the instructions, and everything will be fine. Does not work with routers deemed compatible

All that went to the wayside when Verizon installed FIOS in my home and forced upon me a D-Link DI-624 wireless router that only gave limited signal. I bought the G710 from... Strength None. Does not work. Weakness Does not work with routers deemed compatible by D-Link Bottom Line Buy a more trustworthy brand than D-Link. Does not work... simply awful

Written By sukey043 Date Written Feb 28 2006 Summary i have to question the abilities of the people giving negative comments on this unit..wireless can be intimidating to newbies and those who are not technically saavy..that i think this might be the case..i found out of the box that the unit worked well...
