I've got an Xbox 360 and a MCE machine. I wanted to wirelessly stream music and video to the 360 from MCE, but kept getting network congestion errors with my netgear 802.11g network. I bought the WAP to get the 802.11a band and it made a huge difference. from Pricegrabber.com The DWL-7100AP has longer range and 2x the transmitted power (64mW) of the DWL-7000AP (32mW) I have 2 of these and am very Happy with thier performance. Much better range and signal saturation than other ''off the shelf models''. from Tigerdirect.com Pros: I bought this item for a small business client that wanted to run majority of desktops wirelessly. Although I expressed my concerns with the reliability and intermittent disconnections inherent with wireless solutions client still wanted wireless solution. I researched extensively and decided to go with this dlink AP. I am totally amazed at the performance of this AP. from Newegg.com Have had no problems with conflicts of any kind. Worked right out of the box. Cons: Using all D-link dual band products at home and have no problems hooking up to whatever is available on the road. from Newegg.com Have had no problems with conflicts of any kind. Worked right out of the box. Cons: Using all D-link dual band products at home and have no problems hooking up to whatever is available on the road. from Newegg.com It had the latest firmware and wireless protocols installed, and the web-based configuration interface has well organized pages of setup options. The Help pages are actually helpful. As with any networking device it is good to be a little familiar with TCP/IP so you can handle minor annoyances like giving your computer a temporary static IP address in the same subnet range as the DWL-7100AP so you can communicate with it during configuration (This is explained in the manual). Afterwards, I was able to change my computer back to dynamic IP addressing, and still access the configuration pages of the DWL-7100AP. from Amazon.com Pros: Excellent reception. Doesn't have a problem hooking up to anything NOT D-Link. Have this bridging off a DI-707P. from Newegg.com I'm not sure how the 7100 is supposed to work as a repeater but as an AP Client linked with the DI-784 it simply won't stay connected. I'm running the latest firmware on both devices,DWL-7100ap is running v2.00 and teh DI-784 is running v2.38. from Amazon.com Cons: non-detachable antennas, so not replaceable or upgradeable. Although not really important to me. Other Thoughts: Nearly all my network is now Dlink (cable modem, router/switch, gigabit switches, wireless APs) and I have not one complaint. from Newegg.com Comments: I have had this for more than a month and I love it. The only this that I do not like is the signal is a little weak. But that can be fixed by getting the D-Link High Speed Range Extender. from Newegg.com
