Review on πŸ”Œ D-Link DWL-810+ Ethernet to Wireless Bridge: Enhanced Connectivity at 22Mbps by Cori Nance

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Excellent goods! for WiFi hotspots

I am currently using this product with a D-Link Airplus (DI-614+) WiFi router to allow my game consoles to connect to the network wirelessly. I also have 2 PCs connected to the router with ethernet cables. Needless to say, after spending about a minute updating the bridge's firmware (to version 1.3), I was online in seconds. It really is plug and play! It's small, portable (for wifi parties) and works great. My bridge is about 80 feet from my router and I don't lose signal even when my cell phone and cordless phone are on at the same time! My only concern is that the Power and Act LEDs are too bright and may distract some gamers who place the Bridge in front of their TV; and if you don't have a D-Link router, the firmware update will take a few minutes longer because you need to set up a static IP address for your router. An update is required to use the Bridge with Xbox Live. Otherwise, I'll have to pass it on to D-Link, a great product for people who want to surf the web wirelessly with their gaming console but don't want to lug a giant Ethernet cable from room to room.

Pros
  • nice touch
Cons
  • ca.
