but dlink has let me down big time. amazon is a great company, but this particular product is terrible, if at all cost go with another brand. but for me this was enough to run me off from dlink FOREVER. for those of u who have had success with this thing, im glad u did. set up is not simple, and tech support is horrible. i dont down products without giving them a fair chance.
The range seems to be a bit short. This is a nice feature to have when in a hotel with just a LAN or with more web surfers in the room and only 1 LAN.It works great but don't try leaving the room.
On your laptop - Ctrl Panel - Double click Local connections.Scroll down to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)4. 8. Set the dlink to AP mode on the bottom of the unit.2.
Run the setup wizard and follow the prompts and then have the router save and restart.7. On your laptop "view your wireless connections" and choose the one you just setup withe the dlink. Disconnect the ethernet cable from the laptop and connect it to your regular router.
I played around with this device for 4 hours, called tech support - waited 30 minutes, was then put on hold for another 10 minutes before I gave up.I've finally figured out how to get it to work in AP mode - Win XP.One of the things I figured out was that every time you moved the switch on the bottom of the dlink, you lose all your settings.1. Open up your browser and type in 192.168.0.30type in "admin" for the name and since it doesn't have a defualt password, just click ok.6. Enter your security password.9 You should now be able to securely get to the internet.
Connect the dlink to your laptop via ethernet cable.3. Click on properties and change from "Obtain an IP address automatically" to "Use the following IP address - type in 192.168.0.99 and Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0then click OK-OK.5.
I would definitely recommend this router if you do a lot of traveling or need something very small for use at home. The router is even smaller than I imagined and comes in a great little travel pack. Works like a charm.
Definitely recommend against buying this item The D-Link DWL-G730AP router was dead on receipt. I have returned the unit to D-Link and nearly a month has passed with no new router and no word from them.
