Review on AirPlus DWL 900AP Wireless 22MBPS Access by David Ruwala

This D-Link product makes a great access point, works fairly well in bridge mode and as a (fixed) client. I bought two of these devices for the bridge function. I'm connecting two small LANs in different houses that are about 300 meters apart. It works very well! I'm getting some dropped packets through the bridge, probably because it can't support full ethernet speed, or maybe I'm getting random interference from somewhere. However, unlike almost all other wireless clients in "client" mode, there's no way to measure signal strength or even get feedback on what speed you're getting. Either it works or it doesn't. Of course, this feature is not needed at all in an access point, but as a bridge or client (other supported modes) it would be very useful. client) you do indeed need to provide the MAC address of the intended access point to use it as a client, I think that suits the design as the product is meant to be fixed, but the whole idea behind wireless is flexibility that this design is not . 't. It never claimed to have these detection or signal strength capabilities, but they're almost standard on other devices that claim to be clients. I think they designed a great access point and then added a client function as an afterthought. As an access point, it works very well. twice as fast as most other wireless devices. It's actually not as difficult to set up as other reviews say. If you have Windows 2000 or XP, you don't have to reboot after your computer is on the same subnet to set up the device, which is pretty trivial and clearly explained. at least for those trying to create *random* networks.
