Got this to extend my linksys wireless router (B/G mixed environment). Setup was tedious, as you had to physically hook up to my laptop, change network settings to different subnet mask (192.168.2.xxx) - why would they put on a different subnet than the default value form probably 90% of users.... Belkin autoconfig utility didn't work either. I ended up logging in via web gui, and setting up that way. Works ok, lost it settings once about 3 wks after setup. I'm running it without network security, because was such a pain to set up - need to go back & reenable - I figure that will be a 2-3 hr process.... Overall, not a bad deal, but if you're not computer/network saavy - pack a lunch, it will take a while!

Vista Schmista, configure it through the web utility, and trash the cd. This is a phenomenal way to drastically increase your wifi range. Plug in via ethernet, set your ethernet adapter to the ip range of the device, go to the web interface, scan, configure security done. Add a 7.5 dbm antenna and you have great range. You can string multiple range extenders on the same network and create a huge coverage area. Buy it, and use the web interface, and you will love what it does.

I used this to repeat the siganl from a Belkin wireless router. It works but you need to know how to set it up if you have security on. The included directions do not explain this so you need to go online to the Belkin site and download the real manual. You can also use it as an access point. Overall it does what I wanted it to do (increased my range)and for a fair price as well. Get one!

My opinion is that this product is pathetic. As mentioned in another review, this product still does not work with Vista and never will. The broadcast signal has a very small range, so if you decide to use it to extend a signal more than 25 feet, you had better buy two of them. Once in place, you will have to stand within 10 feet of the Range Extender to get an excellent signal, and it tapers off quickly from that radius out. I don't recommend this product.

I purchased two of these. Put one in AP mode and one in UR mode. Connected a wired network to each and they linked the two wired systems. Wow! Plus all of my wireless stuff works and everything has internet access. Double Wow! Wm Tomlinson
