ASUS WL330GE Wireless pocket access point Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought two of these, one to use as a wireless adapter and one as a repeater. My primary wireless router is a Dlink DIR-622 running the original 1.11 firmware.
Initial setup is fairly easy. The manual is TERRIBLE but you really don't need it for basic setup. Out of the box, or after a hard reset, the device is in "Gateway Mode" with it's DHCP server active and ready to hand out addresses in the 192.168.1 subnet. Connect it to a PC's ethernet port, open your browser to http://192.168.1.220 and you get the configuration screen. From there, it is easy to choose one of the other (3) modes and make a connection to your wireless network.
If you want to make additional configuration changes to other parameters, it gets harder. Once you switch from Gateway mode to one of the other (3), the device no longer acts as a DHCP server for the ethernet port; rather, it effectively becomes a device with a static IP of 192.168.1.220. To make additional configuration changes, you must open your PC's TCP/IP settings and change from DHCP (i.e., "obtain an IP address automatically") to a static address (i.e., "use the following IP address") in the 192.168.1 range. Only then can you again open your browser and use http://192.168.1.220 to access the device.
I setup the first unit in "Adapter mode", configured it for wpa2 and then connected it to my Dish Network 622 dvr. Everything connected and worked perfectly.
I have a large house with my wireless router at the North end, so signal quality at the South end of the house is poor. I configured the second wl-330ge for "Repeater mode" and placed it near the center of my house. Devices in the South end now get excellent signal quality from the centrally located wl-330ge repeater. Devices that used to get 6mbps now hit 35mbps.
Both my units came with firmware 2.0.1.8, but I noticed a newer 2.0.1.9 firmware on the ASUS web site with 11-23-2009 release date. As it mentioned a fix related to Repeater mode, I decided to download it and update both units. I then hard reset and reconfigured them. The one in Adapter mode still worked just fine. The one in Repeater mode ceased to function; devices would connect to it momentarily then lose the connection. After several hard resets and reconfiguration cycles, I gave up and flashed it back to 2.0.1.8, and it immediately started working again. If you are using Repeater mode, I recommend avoiding the 2.0.1.9 firmware.

Cisco-Linksys WAP55AG Dual-Band Wireless A+G Access Point Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The WAP55AG was so easy to setup. Compared to past Linksys access points, there was no need for software installation as XP can determine configuration automatically. My Dell laptop could instantaneously identify the proper frequency and establish a link. Recently, I bought a second unit for my office and my laptop automatically connects at home or at work without any hassle whatsoever.

Rosewill RNX-EasyN400 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this router from Newegg, not Amazon. I could not help but notice that this router has only one review and it is not a very good one. I am not a high level tech person, but rather middling at best. I had some minor problems setting this router up (basically it was because of the horrible instructions that came with it (poor translation from some Asian language)). I use a Macbook Pro to set up my network, so if you use Apple for computing, it is 100% compatible, just not with the software on the disc. The disc is not even that useful if you are using a PC. It is far easier to set up the router through its IP address. I paid $20 for the router, so if it did not work, it was no biggie, but I will say this. This router is 150% dependable. It has been working for over 6 months and has never stopped working (except for when the electricity went out). Its speed is right on, for what it is. It is easy to filter out devices (I use WEP2 and MAC filtering on it). We have 4 laptops that regularly use it (both PC's and Mac's), and Iphone and a Blackberry, a Wii, a XBox 360, a network printer, and a network hard drive that all operate over this router. I have not noticed any lag while playing online Xbox and having 2 computers watching netflix, printing a 150 page report, and having another computer do a Timemachine backup of 2.3 GB at the same time. I would buy two more of these if I needed them, but I don't. Its upload speed is only 54Mbs, but that is all that it is designed for. Read the stats. This is not a current, up to date router (maby 2 or 3 years back technology wise). But for all that, it is easy to set up, bug free in use, and fully upgradable if you desire to put a Linux software package on it. It has the onboard memory for the full size version of DDWRT.

TRENDnet 14dBi High Power Wireless Outdoor PoE Access Point TEW-455APBO (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased 2 of these units to setup WiFi for a mountain condo building (3 floors by 5 units). Both units are mounted on opposites end of the building on the top (3rd) floor. Setup was relatively easy (maybe not if a first timer). The one time I had a question for Trendnet (prior to purchase) their response was prompt and helpful. Units are attached to a DSL modem/router. Since we can only get 7MB DSL service I have limited the APs to 11b. So can't comment on higher speeds. So far all units are reporting good service.
These units are hard to beat for the price. Not as powerful as the Cisco units but you can buy 2 (or more) for the same price.
Note: Units have been installed about 5 months now at a condo building in the Colorado mountains at about 9000 feet. Units are mounted outdoors. Temperature range in that time has been about 85 to -20 F. So far so good.
