The best part is, since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices talk to existing 11 Mbps Wireless-B equipment. | | | |

 works fine Dec 31, 2008
I already had a Linksys 54G router in the basement, and I added this access point upstairs to give better coverage for my iPhone. I used a hard-wired connection between the router and the access point. Ithen set the access point to a different channel, and the whole setup seems to work fine.

 Worst Product EVER Dec 27, 2008
I have never in my life been more disappointed in anything. Even SeaMonkeys were less of a let down.
This product constantly resets itself. But when it resets it can't boot itself up. So you have to walk across your room/house to manually reset the unit. Then and only then will it fully reboot.
When I say constantly reboots, I mean I reset the unit three times in the amount of time it took me to write this review. Tomorrow I'm going to go buy something that actually works, and then I'm going to spend the rest of the day deciding how I'm going to destroy this garbage. I honestly can decide if a grubbing hoe or a hatchet would be a better way to destroy this curse on humanity.
And don't try to tell Linksys about it. There's nowhere to file any kind of complaint. If you call customer service they read you some script with broken English. I will never do business with Linksys (now part of Cisco) EVER AGAIN.
This is the WORST PRODUCT EVER. Don't buy it. You would be better off with 14.4 dialup.

 Easy set-up; works great Dec 05, 2008
Since I'm connected to DSL via a modem which incorporates a router, adding a WAP was the easiest way to add wireless capability for my wife's laptop. I was concerned about range after reading a few reviews, but I have the WAP in an upstairs bedroom and we usually use the laptop downstairs. It always gets a strong signal. (It even sees the neighbor's network 100 yds away, although weak) Set-up was extremely easy using the included CD. I would definitely recommend this product.

Easier Than I Anticipated Oct 22, 2008
Using this device as an access point only. Connected to a D-Link DGL4100 Gaming Router. Network of 3 PCs is wired with 1 laptop, also wired. Before setup, I read about security, WEP v. WPA/WPA2-Personal and MAC address filtering. Security concerns were the reason for the wired network. I used the CD to auto setup, and then manually configured after logging into the address my router assigned to the Access Point via DHCP (your router will change the default ip if you have it set to do so. It's status page should tell you the new ip).
At first, I used simple WEP encryption. Connection was quick. Then I played with the WPA encryption. Had problems connecting and stuck with WEP. I then disabled SSID broadcasting. Tried again next day and realized after making changes to the AP's login page, and saving, you must EXIT the page before you can make a successful connection. Once I figured that out, I went right to WPA2-Personal encryption (the highest level for me), and filtered by MAC address. No problems. Connects my Dell Latitude immediately and excellent range on the second floor as well (AP is on first floor).
Very satisfied. Only complaint is the bright blue..wish it was all black to blend in more. I plan on mounting it high on a wall in my basement stairwell, which will be a pretty central location in my house and will keep it out of sight.
 Flaky configuration. Oct 15, 2008
My company owns several of these units. When configuring them it always feels like it's on a wing and a prayer. Often configs don't take and have to be reentered. One unit in our Philadelphia location has continued to loose it's configs and resets to defaults. Owned by Cisco but not as reliable as a true Cisco device.
