Customer Review
ALthough I commonly tend to break with the Linksys/Cisco cast aback it comes to networking devices, I accept to say that I am somewhat afraid and admiring to acquisition that D-Link seems to be convalescent and in some cases, outperforming Linksys. I bare a fast and accessible way to extend my wireless internet to approx. 1000 ft and absitively to try a array of solutions to see what formed best. I initially approved application some Linksys ambit extenders (WRE54G) which anon accepted to be a networking nightmare. The units did assignment although I had to displace them at atomic already every added day. Next, I approved application some Hawking ambit extenders such as the 15db bend antenna and the omni-directional antenna. Both assume to assignment accomplished about the ambit was still bereft and agreement assorted pole antennas would backbite from the alfresco actualization of the building.

Finally, I approved this D-link antenna and while this assemblage is expensive, it is ample and appears to be actual durable. With the congenital boiler system, and weather-resistant casing, I’m additionally Able to arise the antenna alfresco and not anguish about the centralized apparatus actuality damaged from the algid temperatures. I will see afterwards a brace of weeks whether it can bear some ablaze snowfall.

Setting up this antenna/access point is about accessible if you apperceive networking basics. For users who are not too accustomed with ambience up changeless IP addresses, there may be an antecedent acquirements ambit complex with this device. If you apperceive what you’re doing, you should be Able to get this assemblage up and active in about 10-15 minutes. Unlike Netgear and some of the new cheaply fabricated Linksys/D-Link routers and ambit extenders, this assemblage hasn’t bare a displace and hasn’t comatose or bound up on us in the two weeks it has been running.

Pros: Well-constructed weather-resistant brownish casing, able signals, STABLE, comes with all the ascent accessories you charge including a 50 beat able ethernet cable, looks a lot added able and conservative than the Hawking-brand ambit extenders

Cons: Pricey (though you do get what you pay for), bureaucracy may be somewhat difficult for those who don’t accept abundant networking acquaintance (there is no automated install CD like the ones included with routers). I would accept admired to accept the ethernet anchorage conceivably on the aback or ancillary of the assemblage rather than on the basal because it’s difficult to prop this affair up on a table with the ethernet cable in the way – in the accident you adjudge not to arise it on a bank or ledge.

Contrary to what D-link may acquaint you, you do not charge to accept a D-link router in adjustment for this to work. This antenna connects to about any router (I’m currently application a Linksys WRT54G). There is an added footfall of agreement if you accept not to use D-link but if you apperceive how to bureaucracy changeless IP addresses, you’ll be up and active in no time.
