The only way to get it working was to reset the box and run it in default mode, no security. I did some research and found a 3Com access point that seems to be rock solid, easier to configure, and hopefully will last longer than 6 months. No more Netgear products for me. ... from Yahoo.com Could not configure box, would only work in default mode which has no security. Box eventually would not work at all. Netgear support stinks, should have read more reviews on this product. Bought 3Com for replacement access point, easier to configure, rock solid. from Mwave.com Bought this to make the move from 802.11b to 802.11g, because all of my 802.11b WAPs were getting drowned-out by the neighbors 802.11g networks. When this this is working well, it is great; unfortunately, it tends to have spans of time when it seems to lock-up and become unresponsive. from Tigerdirect.com Pros: First network bridge that I've set up. Google WG602 Bridge and get a tried and true procedure. Works great once I got it configured. from Newegg.com Pros: Works well, good range, good features for an access point. New firware has bridge capability. I use all Netgear or intel wireless cards - no issues at all. Cons: Power supply is large, that's the only complaint I could come up with. from Newegg.com Pros: Works well, good range, good features for an access point. New firware has bridge capability. I use all Netgear or intel wireless cards - no issues at all. Cons: Power supply is large, that's the only complaint I could come up with. from Newegg.com The second one also acts as a reapeater for my laptop. Great product, highly reccomended. Cons: Must have the WG602 v2 for wireless bridging. The version 1 does not have bridging capabilities. from Newegg.com The second one also acts as a reapeater for my laptop. Great product, highly reccomended. Cons: Must have the WG602 v2 for wireless bridging. The version 1 does not have bridging capabilities. from Newegg.com Worthless. Support was BAD!! Never again for Netgear products!! from Amazon.com Pros: noneCons: Does not actually do wireless bridging. NETGEAR's website advertises it as being able to be configured as a wireless bridge. What they don't tell you is that it only works as a bridge with another WG602. from Newegg.com
