You must read the instructions fully before installing , but easy if you follow exactly . The install is more difficult if you have a secure system and somewhat unclear about the subnet mask, but use the defalt settings and follow the promps.well worth the effort as we have six computers and one wireless printer all on the system. we are using with a Linksys WRT54GS and now all units work great. from Circuitcity.com When it works, it works great, just hard to get it to work. Spent over 75 minutes with customer service tech trying to set this up. from Circuitcity.com I BOUGHT THIS ENHANCER THINKING IT WAS EASY TO USE AND WOULD BE NO TROUBLE TO INSTALL, BUT BOY WAS I WRONG! I SEPT 2.5 HOURS WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE TRYING TO INSTALL THE ENHANCER AND AFTER ALL THAT TIME AND EFFORT SHE TOLD ME THAT THE PRODUCT WAS NOT GOINGTO BE ABLE TO WORK. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A LINKSYS ROUTER. from Circuitcity.com I just picked up this extender with some trepidation about installation after reading some reviews. However, using Auto Configuration, IT WAS A PIECE OF CAKE. I sat the device next to my Linksys 802.11g router and was configured within 30 seconds. I tookthe device to our 3rd floor where I previously received only one bar (very low) of signal strength. from Circuitcity.com Pros: Relatively easy setup. Cons: For the price, you could get better products. Loses sync with the router often. from Newegg.com Pros: Wizard on the CD and full-color quick start makes setup with typical settings a breeze. Vastly easier than running a new cable for a traditional WAP. Works best with Linksys 54g routers/WAPs (Linksys says works ONLY with these). Cons: DON'T USE THE AUTO-CONFIGURE BUTTON! from Newegg.com Cons: Instructions are lacking. Make sure you set the channel to the same as the ap. I tried over and over again to get it work with a d-link router but once I get off the 192.168.1.x network it simply does not work. Other Thoughts: definitely boosts range for linksys products. from Newegg.com Pros: Easy to configure with my Linksys Wireless G Router Cons: It constantly interfered with a desktop computer on my network by taking the same IP address. I even assigned the desktop wireless adapter a static IP address outside the DHCP range of my router and the range extender would take that IP address causing conflicts. from Newegg.com Pros: None Cons: The setup was easy and straight forward although the device would not improve my signal at all. Troubleshooting with Linksys was painful. I tried on 2 wireless routers and same issue. from Newegg.com Works for basic internet browsing. It's humbling. You get a pathetic sense of achievement when you finally get the sucker to work. Cons: My Cisco VPN client software authenticates but passes no useful traffic when the WRE54G is in the mix. from Newegg.com
